Lion's Head

The Lion's Head mountain in Cape Town is a popular hiking destination that offers breathtaking views of the city and Table Mountain. This iconic landmark stands 669 meters tall, its rugged silhouette a striking feature on the Cape Peninsula's skyline. As you ascend the winding trail, you'll be rewarded with panoramic vistas of the city, the Atlantic Ocean, and the surrounding mountains. On a clear day, you can even spot Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for many years. The hike is moderately challenging, but the scenery and sense of accomplishment make it well worth the effort.
