Climbing Lions Head, Cape Town + 300 Followers 🎉

At an elevation of 669m (2,194 feet) Lions Head offers incredible views across Cape Town.  You start the hike at Signal Hill so you’re already pretty high when you start.

It was a lot easier than it looked but still a bit challenging. It gets to a point where you have to use the ladders and chains to pull yourself up and over rocks. 

It was a couple hours round trip but the view from the top is unreal-sitting up top and admiring it was incredible. We stayed up there for ages!

It was also super calm and warm which is not what I was expecting. Must be in a random calm pocket, protected from the wind. The helicopters were buzzing around a little under this height so if you climb it you’ll get the same view!  

Here are a few cool facts about Lions Head-

♣ You can paraglide off the side

♣     Lions once did roam the area

♣ In 1878 records show snow fell on the top! 

♣ Locals hike to the top for the full moon. I imagine coming down would be pretty tricky! 

We also came up Signal hill almost every night for the sunset, which is pretty magic. I just love this city and all its beauty!
