About This Tour
Ruminate Travel’s Lion’s Head hike is a unique 3–3.5 hr sunrise or sunset adventure up Cape Town’s iconic peak. Small groups of 6–12 ensure an intimate experience with expert guides who share local history, ecology, and stories. The 5.6 km moderate trail features scrambles and ladders, leading to epic 360° views of Table Mountain, the city, and the Atlantic Ocean. Sunrise hikes reveal vibrant skies; sunset hikes showcase twinkling lights. We provide headlamps for low-light hikes. Opt for pickup from central Cape Town (ZAR 400/person) or meet at the trailhead. Add a professional photographer (R4000/person or R7000/two) for stunning shots. Stay connected via our WhatsApp group for weather updates and tips. Perfect for moderate fitness levels, this curated journey blends adventure, nature, and culture, offering unforgettable moments and camaraderie.
