Rob was fantastic his knowledge and experience is second to none. He alway made sure we were safe and comfortable with the pace. Will be in touch for sure on my next visit.

Our hike was brilliant made so much better with Robs, amazing knowledge of the hill and surrounding area. He explained how we'd approach the hike and ensured it was what we wanted for the hike. He took the time to point out the different types of rock, the various bushes and plants and the wildlife we would likely see. He was without doubt a brilliant guide.

This was the highlight of our visit to Cape Town! The views and photos were wonderful. The ladders and chains were straightforward and we had great guidance from Rob. We took it steady and he showed us how best to use our hands as well as our legs. Coming down was harder than going up but Rob showed us how best to do it for our aged knees (we’re fit but in our late sixties). A great experience, it was warm and sunny on top and coming down we had a short shower and then a rainbow over Cape Town! Rob was great, a true professional mountain guide, very knowledgeable and good company and conversation. We felt safe all the way. He took some great photos, carried my camera case over the tricky bits and waited with us for our Uber at the bottom. A wonderful experience. Thanks Rob!

The journey started at 4:30 til 8:30 from daytime to nighttime. I could watch magnificent view of camps bay, table mountains and the city. And climbing the rocky mountain would give you the most challengable but unforgettable memory.

Great Guide and a Great Tour. Was possible for us incl. our 11 & 14 year old daughters. Upward approx 1.5 Hours. Rob was a very sensitive, gentle and flexible Guide with many years of outdoor and hiking experience. Up and downeards there were at least 3 alternative routes possible with varying degree of difficulty.

Robert was amazing. Even if we were a bit scared of high, he was super careful and helped us through the path! It was an amazing experience

Wow, what an experience! It was three of us doing this hike and I am personally terrified of heights, so I was skeptical that I would enjoy it or even reach the summit. Well, we met Rob our guide and he immediately explained what to expect and how the hike would go. He asked how we felt about heights and once he learned of my fears, he put me at ease. His demeanor was very reassuring. The hike itself is what I would consider moderate. You definitely need to be ready for some spots that require a little bit of skill, but in our case, Rob was there to help all the way. He even literally held my hand at times when it got challenging for me. We went up to catch the sunset and what a treat that was. The views of Cape Town from the top are SPECTACULAR! The descent was a little harder for one of us, but again, with Rob's guidance we completed the entire hike in around 3.5 hours, felt safe the entire time and even had night lights when it got dark. This activity was worth the challenge and something everybody should try if they are physically able. Hopefully you have a guide as cool and knowledgeable as Rob!

Wow what can I say, this tour/hike was absolutely amazing (granted I was scared at times) however our guide Fatima was fantastic in keeping me at ease and supported me throughout! Fatima was a great guide, very knowledgeable, polite and also took some nice snaps😊 I would highly, highly recommend doing to Lions Head hike to anyone - the views were just outstanding and will have memories to last a life time!

Fantastic guide. Knowledgeable. Fun. Sharp. I highly recommend. Great overall experience. * “Extra words” to fit minimum unnecessary text count requirements to leave a review.

This hike was absolutely gorgeous! Fatima was amazing. She was informative, helpful, and accommodating to our schedule, and snapped once in a lifetime photos for us!!. 10/10 would recommend!!

The guided hike up Lion's Peak with Stuart was excellent. Not only did we get to enjoy the incredible views, but also learn a huge amount from Stuart about the area and its history. An absolutely fantastic way to see and experience Cape Town.

She was by far one of the most knowledgeable, passionate, and professional about her craft. You can tell she loves the mountains and the region of Cape Town. Honestly such a wonderful experience!

I'm so glad we had a guide, and that Stu (ownder/guide of Wild Things Outdoor) was that guide. Although, you can hike Lion's Head on your own, you would be missing out on SO much. Stu really provided for a full experience, and I'm grateful. Before I'd even booked, Stu was quick and helpful in his communication. Then, when we we arrived at the trailhead, I knew we were in for an great afternoon. He is super friendly, personable, patient, and knowledgeable - from geology, flora/fauna, history, hiking, etc. We were both nerding out over what we were learning from him. He allowed us to set a reasonable pace, was always encouraging/positive, and let us stop to take as many pictures as we wanted. When we got to the summit, we enjoyed the gorgeous sunset. After listening to him share with us, several other hikers remarked how they wished they'd had a guide to make for a more well-rounded experience. On the way down, we encountered a solo woman hiker who was very unprepared for the conditions - improper shoes, not enough water (it was a scorcher), and no light other than her phone (it was dark by then). She was scared. Stu is very safety conscious, and she walked back down part of the way with us until she met up with another group. This was such a memorable experience, in large part because of Stu. I highly recommend you look at booking with Wild Things Outdoor for your South Africa adventures!

Stuart was an incredible guide..you could tell he was extremely passionate about nature, Cape Town, and South African history. He also made two very novice hikers feel very safe throughout the process with his expertise. Couldn’t imagine a better tour guide for this hike and can’t recommend him enough.

Fatima was the most amazing guide, she was so informative, kind and patient- we also got an amazing surprise at the top! Fatima gave us the best experience we have ever had as a family!

The experience we had with the climb to the top of Lions Head was simply amazing! Stuart led us to the top and during the hike he showed us all kinds of amazing things about the flora and the wildlife. From insects to nocturnal owls, he knew lots of interesting stuff. The views were stunning and Stu took some great photos along the way. We really enjoyed the hike, both up and down and with all the knowledge and stories shared by Stu it was an awesome experience!

Stu was an excellent guide. He was so informative and great with fun facts. The hike itself may be challenging for some but with a guide like Stu and the view at the top it makes it completely worth it. I would do this again.

One of the best things I done in Cape Town. The view was Amazing! I'll do it again, of course. In my opinion it's better hike for dawn's view than the sunset hike , because the sunset hike it's more knowns and there's many people than dawn hike.

Myself and four friends had an amazing experience on this hike. Our tour guide, Fati, was knowledgeable, funny and sweet - even brought us coffee and a snack for watching the sunset. The view atop Lion's head is remarkable. Less foot traffic on this hike than table mountain too which is a plus. Would recommend 10 times out of 10.

We did a sunrise hike, meaning we started while it was still dark and arrived at the top in time to see the sun rise behind Table Mountain. This was the most magical moment. But also the hike itself was magical and exciting. Even in the dark, we‘ve felt very safe with the guiding we received. I would love to do it again some day!
