Since these two join up, I\u2019ll just explore the first one!<\/p>\n<p>The first third of the hike is a simple dirt track going gradually uphill. The path is wide here so this section is great for casual chats with your hiking group. After a while, steps are added and it gets a bit steeper, but remains pretty wide.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the last third or so of the hike that things start to get challenging. The path narrows and gets steep, with huge boulders to clamber up. It\u2019s steep enough that some sections are more climbing than hiking. But ladders and sturdy chains are set into the rocks to help you up!<\/p>\n<p>This is also the section where a queue can form because the trail narrows and gets a bit more daunting. My best recommendation is to be patient and take a few pics if you get bored. You certainly don\u2019t run out of beauty to admire, and your legs will appreciate the rest.<\/p>\n<h3>Reaching the top<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2986\" src=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/DSC_01592.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"539\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/DSC_01592.jpg 800w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/DSC_01592-300x202.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/DSC_01592-768x517.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The blessed top of the trail! Shaky legs and big smiles, you made it. The top of this hill is a relatively small flat section, with large boulders scattered around. You can usually find a private area if you look for it, and you can circle the top and get amazing views (and photos) of Signal Hill, Sea point, CBD, and Table Mountain, Camps Bay and the Twelve Apostles.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019ll also be able to find someone happy to take some photos of you or your group \u2013 there should be lots of enthusiastic people, and nowhere to run with your phone!<\/p>\n<h2>Sunset on Lion\u2019s Head<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3001\" src=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/DSC_02252.jpg\" alt=\"sunset from lions head\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/DSC_02252.jpg 800w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/DSC_02252-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/DSC_02252-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Lions Head is the tourist\u2019s favourite <a href=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/tips\/cape-town-sunsets\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sunset spot in Cape Town<\/a>, and a local favourite too! And its popularity means it&#8217;s also very safe, as you\u2019ll be doing the whole route with many others, even on weekdays.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to watch the sunset from the summit (you do \u2013 those 360\u00b0 views!), I recommend you start your hike an hour earlier. This will give you more than enough time to make the trek up without stress, and you\u2019ll be able to watch the sun dip past the horizon \u2013 and fit a few golden hour photos in first.<\/p>\n<p>Watching the sunset from the top of Lions Head means you\u2019ll be walking at least part of the way down in the dark. This is safe as long as there are others with you. You\u2019ll want to get down the top third of the trail while there\u2019s still some light, but the rest you can do by the lights of the city. Some people bring head torches along, but most do just fine without!<\/p>\n<p>If you somehow find yourself alone on the famous Lion for sundowners, I do recommend starting to walk down before the sun sets. Muggings are not unheard of here, and the risks go up in the dark.<\/p>\n<h2>Further resources for Cape Town hikers<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-822\" src=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/kloof-corner-views.jpg\" alt=\"view of lions head from kloof corner\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/kloof-corner-views.jpg 900w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/kloof-corner-views-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/kloof-corner-views-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s all you need to know about hiking up beautiful Lion&#8217;s Head!
