Highlights
The Lion’s Head hike is the quintessential Cape Town experience - short, scenic, and soul-stirring. From one trail, you’ll see every side of the city: Table Mountain, the Twelve Apostles, Robben Island, and the Atlantic Ocean stretching forever. What makes it special with Klipspring Hikes is the mix of safety, storytelling, and simple pleasures - local guides who’ve spent a lifetime exploring these slopes, coffee brewed on the mountain, and good conversation with a view. Expect a decent workout, a few light scrambles, and the kind of 360° panorama that makes you fall in love with Cape Town all over again. You can even pre-order one of our homemade hiking packs filled with fresh sourdough sandwiches, pancakes, and “padkos” snacks to enjoy on top. And for every hike booked, we plant a tree through our partners at Greenpop - because every step should give something back to nature.

About Cape Town
Cape Town spreads between Table Mountain and the sea, a striking city of beaches, vineyards, penguins and history near Africa's southwestern tip.
Table Mountain's flat summit looms over everything, reached by cableway or by hiking trails, with Lion's Head and Signal Hill flanking it. Below, the V&A Waterfront bustles around the working harbour, and boats leave from there for Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela was held for eighteen years. The colourful houses of Bo-Kaap climb the slopes above the city centre and the Company's Garden.
Top-ranked sights in Cape Town: Boulders Beach, Cape of Good Hope, Chapman’s Peak Drive.
