Parks & Nature

Lion's Head is a great option for the modestly fit or for travelers on a tight schedule - it's the lowest of the main peaks but still gives great all round views of the city and the coast.
If you are going to climb the mountain; this is the best way to get to the top. Starting point from Kirstenbosch Gardens or Newlands Forest.
