“Had an absolute blast. David our guide met us at the start of the trail and was so good at making sure we went at a comfortable pace and he was so knowledgeable about all the flora on the hike giving us time to experience the wonderful views as we passed around Lion’s Head. The hike was challenging at times but David kept us going in good spirits and was so helpful in finding the right paths/footholds. He is also an excellent photographer. The views from the various points around Lion’s Head were spectacular. It is definitely something you can’t skip when visiting Cape Town.”
