Overview

By far the most iconic hiking route in Cape Town as it offers everything, includes 360 views of the City and mild scrambling (using hands and feet to climb up and over rocks) which makes for a proper adventure! Due to its unique location, many locals as well as international visitors like to do this route at sunrise and sunset to enjoy watching the sun light up the city or end the day watching the sunset on the Atlantic coast.

Fantastic Hike to Lions Head with Rob

Published on Feb, 2025

Our hike with Rob was an exceptional experience. He was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and made the trek both fun and informative. His expertise and clear explanations gave us great insights into the trail and surroundings. We always felt completely safe. Rob guided us with confidence, ensuring we tackled every section with ease. If you’re looking for a great guide for Lion’s Head (and for sure also more advanced hikes), we highly recommend Rob—an absolute professional who makes the experience unforgettable!

A brilliant experience!

Published on Feb, 2025

Wow! What an amazing experience Yvette gave us. Very good communications from my first enquiry right up to the day itself. Yvette’s preparation meant we literally just had to turn up at the meeting point in the right clothes….Yvette takes care of everything else from backpacks to water to snacks. Yvette then got us up the climb safely, pointing out interesting facts about the flora and fauna on the way…using her expert knowledge to make sure that we then descended safely slightly before sunset to avoid the hoards and make sure we had front row seats for the setting sun (complete with home made brownies!). We had a fabulous time, and couldn’t recommend Yvette highly enough as a guide…we will be back!

Amazing hike with the best guide and gorgeous views

Published on Sep, 2023

This was such an amazing experience!! A must-do if you are visiting CapeTown. We do the hike in a little group and everyone was super nice, it was very special. The hike is fun and with breath-taking views. Our guide was super nice and he helped us all the time, explaining interesting facts, and also took amaaazing videos and pics of us during the way up and at the top. We did the sunset hike and it was beautiful to see the city lights form the top, but I’m sure the sunrise is also great. We will recommend him to anyone visiting CapeTown!

Table mountain hike

Published on Jun, 2023

Idrees was a fantastic guide, knowledgable and really easy going. It was great to be able to arrive in Cape Town and make the most of time and be trekking straight away. We saw an amazing sunrise and he knew a brilliant route which avoided the cloud as long as we could. He even thought to take some great pics along the way while I was too busy enjoying the views. Highly recommend!

There is no one else I would take on the mountains with!

Published on Jun, 2023

Yvette has been my hiking guide since I made the move to Cape Town. Not only have we embarked on some unforgettable hikes, but she has also been my guide in the ocean, snorkelling with seals. As the name suggests, she is most definitely an "Outdoor Addict!" Aside from her passion for the great outdoors, her knowledge, drive, and eagerness is something that has always stood out to me. She is an outstanding guide and there is no one else I would take on the mountains with. She is professional, trustworthy and all round a lovely human being. Outdoor Addicts should be at the top of your list when looking for guided hikes in the Western Cape! A few hikes I have done with them: The Cederberg - overnight at the Wolfberg Arch Valken Labyrinth - Table Mountain Ontongs Cave - Tulbagh Orange Kloof - Hell's Gate - Table Mountain Yvette and Idrees - I'd give them two thumbs up and would highly recommend them!
