Alongside
Table Mountain is the distinctive shaped mountain slope, Lions
Head. This proud lion overlooks the city and Table Bay on
one side, and the scenic Atlantic Ocean coastline on the other.
On a clear day the views are spectacular and great for taking
photographs, particularly of Robben Island. Catch your breath
along the steep path while admiring the great views which
will inspire you to carry on further. You will wind your way
around the lions head until you reach the chains taking you
to the very top. The chains are there to assist you as you
scramble up a section of rocky faces. They add an element
of adventure, but be cautious and take it slowly. Not suitable
for young children and the elderly. There is an alternate
route to miss the chains but the path is still quite steep.
