Prepare to be amazed by the incredible variety of natural wonders that the Mother City has to offer – from majestic mountains and mesmerizing oceans to picturesque beaches and enchanting forests.

As someone who has always been captivated by the allure of Cape Town, I knew that discovering the perfect route for this adventure was essential. It was during one of my leisurely Sunday morning strolls in Sea Point that I stumbled upon this hidden gem. It struck me then that there are very few places on Earth where you can traverse city streets, hike up a mountain, wander through a forest, stroll along a beach, and leisurely promenade by the sea – all in just a few short hours. And so, The Lion Trail was born.
