Lions Head in Cape Town is not one for the faint hearted, although it is a very popular hike with all the locals. We decided to take a guide as this was our first hike in SA. We weren't disappointed! Fatima knew the flora and fauna, the best way up the trail and most importantly, the best spots to take pictures at the top! On the way down, we stopped in a little cave off the main trail to watch the sunset.... absolutely fabulous. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Fatima as she is knowledgeable, very familiar with the trail and good fun. oh and her homemade koeksisters are wonderful with a cup of coffee and a wonderful sunset!It was our first time hiking and it was not that hard but with Stuart we we felt very safe. He is very friendly and knowledgeable which you can talk or ask anything you want to know. I highly recommend.

We came from Chile for 3 days to Cape Town. We spent 3 days with Stuart where we met most of the highlights of this city. We did the sunset trekking in Lion’s head, and 2 full and personalized days. Stuart organized a tour day at Table Mountain, and then walking city tour, and the other day we spent it on the peninsula (Cape Point & Boulders beach) and Kirstenbosch gardens. Stuart is a great person, kind and really knows a lot about nature, history and everything you could ask. His disposition and encouragement were great. We were very happy with this excellent experience. If you come to Cape Town, do not hesitate to contact this agency.We really enjoyed the evening led by Fatima who was knowledgable, supportive and careful all rolled into one.

We really enjoyed the evening led by Fatima who was knowledgable, supportive and careful all rolled into one. Just one word of caution though; this is not for the faint hearted - the climb up was quite demanding so you need to be reasonably fit and wear the appropriate clothing particularly a good pair of shoes. However the reward for reaching the top was a magnificent view of Cape Town and the surrounding area. Thank you Fatima for an unforgettable evening!SOOOO WORTH IT!! Please DO IT! You will not regret it at all. The hike was not too difficult. I would say it's of moderate level at most. The views are breathtaking!!! Fatima (our guide) was so great! Such a sweetheart!

Fatima (our guide) was so great! Such a sweetheart! She made this hike much more enjoyable. We felt safe and comfortable the whole time! Bonus: We didn't have to worry about taking pictures as Fatima had her camera and took pictures of us during the hike. She knew about the perfect photo spots. Our photos turned out to be gorgeous!
