Signal Hill Road
Lion’s Head hike
Area view · Signal Hill
Why this place
Lion’s Head is a mountain outing with views across the city and Atlantic coast. The walk itself needs as much consideration as the photograph at the end: choose it according to your experience and the conditions. If your group is looking for a gentle viewpoint rather than a hike, consider Signal Hill instead.
Check current SANParks advice and weather before setting off. Go with company, carry water and a charged phone, and use shoes with reliable grip. Leave enough daylight for the return and turn back if conditions or anyone’s confidence change. Do not assume a popular route is suitable for every walker or for an unprepared sunset descent.
Carry water and layers, keep to marked paths and plan to finish in daylight. Read the SANParks guidance before hiking.
