Cape Town: Lion's Head Hike

We had such a brilliant experience doing a guided hike up Lion’s Head.. Our guide, Lamec, arrived on time and was fantastic throughout — friendly, knowledgeable and really good company. He pointed out lots about the history, plants and wildlife along the way that I would otherwise have completely missed, and having someone experienced there made the trickier sections feel much more manageable. It was also my friend's birthday, and they surprised him with cake and fizz, which was such a thoughtful touch and made the day feel even more special. Thanks for a great day - would highly recommend

We had an absolutely amazing hike up Lion’s Head, and the whole experience was perfect from start to finish. Our guide, Lameck, was excellent. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure we felt safe and comfortable all the way up and back down. He also shared lots of interesting facts and stories about Lion’s Head and Table Mountain, which made the hike even more enjoyable. It was also my birthday, and they surprised us by bringing a cake all the way to the summit! It was such a thoughtful gesture and made the experience truly unforgettable. A huge thank you to Lameck and the whole team for making such a special day even more memorable. 100% recommended!

Lynette is just an amazing Tourguide. We had a lot of fun during our hike, felt save all the time, heard different things about surrounding suburbs and plants or other interesting facts, although we had to deal with sickness and more. I would highly recommend this operator, especially Lynette 🤩

Lynette was incredible as always and led the whole group up superbly up at times a challenging hike, managing different fitness levels and also sickness and vertigo very well, while being positive and friendly and giving us lots of knowledge of Lion’s Head too and the different plant life, wildlife and the scenery.

Because of a fire at Table Mountain we did the lions head hike and had a wonderful day with our Guide!!!

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!
