This short summit offers panoramic views of Cape Town and unbeatable sunsets. It’s a popular route to do at night when it’s full moon, and if you’re relatively fit you’ll find yourself at the top quite quickly. There’s a little bit of climbing involved, but there are handholds and chains to help you on your way up and down. You can also take the roundabout way which skips the climbing part if you are walking with small children or your dogs. The entrance to Lions head can be found on Signal Hill Road, at the Base of Forestry Road.
