Cidade do Cabo: caminhada na cabeça de leão

An experience of a class of its own - especially if you want to experience the awakening of a metropolis in wonderful nature with an experienced guide.

We booked this at the very last minute but Ute but Lynette was very accommodating. It was great fun hiking up in the dark/ semi dark and Lynette was knowledgeable, entertaining and encouraging. It was a scramble at the top but she showed us exactly what to do and it was less challenging than I feared! I saw afterwards that this was more expensive than other tours on booking.com but I have no regret as we had a top quality guide.

We went for sunrise up on Lions head. First of all, all communication with OTC was perfect. Kathy our guide was super, she was on time, she was friendly and was packed full of information, we learnt alot. All in all it was a great experience

I have been hiking on Cape Town for over 15 years. The last 8 I have always been guided by Lynette from OTC Adventures. Lynette is the most professional and knowledgeable guide I have come across. I always recommend her to anyone visiting Cape Town. In addition to brilliant and varied hikes Lynette has organised and run cultural trips when I have had business groups over visiting the South African agricultural industry. You will not find better than Lynette.

Lynette is an amazing guide with exceptional experience & abundance of knowledge about flora, fauna & the history of Cape Town. Lynette paced the hike to suit us & made it achievable. This is a must do hike if you’re in Cape Town!

Lynette was a fantastic guide. We did the sunrise lions head hike with her. I (24F) travelled with my 17 year old sister so having a guide who made us feel safe, especially hiking in the dark, was very important. Lynette was very kind and experienced and ensured we were safe the whole route. We got a fantastic view at the top and enjoyed it thoroughly. Thank you!

What a brilliant trip! Lynette was so calm and patient and knew exactly what she was doing. Very knowledgeable and she was great company on a must do/see adventure. The sunrise was just exquisite. Couldn't recommend higher.

Our sunrise hike up Lion's Head with Lynette was truly magical! Starting in the pre-dawn glow, the trail offered a thrilling adventure with ladders and chains, leading to the most breathtaking 360-degree views of Cape Town. As the sun rose over Table Mountain and the city, the scenery was absolutely unforgettable. Lynette’s expertise and warm personality made the hike even more enjoyable—she shared fascinating stories and ensured we both felt safe. A perfect way to start the day and an absolute must for anyone visiting Cape Town!

Lynette is the absolute best tour guide! Highly recommended. Super interesting insights during the hike. We felt mega safe and she certainly led us up the mountain and especially down again. She also had really interesting info about other activities and was very helpful :)

Lynette was a great tour guide! Easy pick up and accommodating drop off. Lion’s head has great views, unique biodiversity, and was a rewarding hike. Thank you Lynette for sharing your botanical wisdom, local greetings, Cape Town euphemisms, and recommendations!
