Lion’s Head is not just another feature of the Table Mountain range, it also has some great hiking trails for the hiking fanatic. Hiking is a great way to explore the mountain and also doubles as daily exercise.

The mountain’s mood can change drastically, as the famous tablecloth rolls down, adding a sense of mystery to your hike.

During the same hike, the tablecloth can roll back, revealing one of the world’s most extensive floral kingdoms, boasting species unique to Cape Town.

The best reward is the spectacular panoramic view of the City of Cape Town and Robben Island, when you reach the summit! It’s also a great way to end your day, as you enjoy the sunset from 669m above sea level.

Do you have images of Cape Town you’d like to share with us? We’d love you to join the Cape Town. Live it. Love it. Flickr group!
