Cape Town: Group Lion's Head Sunrise/Sunset Hike
What your day looks like
We will be hiking up Lions Head, Cape Town's most Instagrammable hike. We plan to either catch the sunset over the Atlantic Ocean or the sunrise from the Hottentots Holland mountains. We enjoy some amazing photo opportunities before our descent. During a sunset hike, we descend in the dark using our flashlights (provided). During a sunrise hike, we may hike the first part in the dark using our flashlights (provided). While the hike is regarded as easier than Table Mountain, it still involves steep, rocky, and narrow terrain at certain points from about half up and a section where the use of steel handles and chains is needed to get up 2 pitches of about 3 meters each (only up and not down). Quite adventurous indeed. This hike has been an age-old tradition for locals, especially during the full moon and on clear/windless nights/mornings, where the lights of the city below dazzle and the moon and stars show off their beauty in the night sky.
The experience, in brief
- We catch the sunset over the Atlantic Ocean or sunrise from the mountains
- We enjoy some amazing photo opportunities from the top
- Enjoy stunning city lights during predawn or postsunset hikes
