Lionshead being its own peak is a popular route for sunrise or sunset hikes. Definitely one of the shortest hikes in the nature reserve offering spectacular views, and giving a full hiking experience. If you have limited time or are just in for a shorter hike Lions head is a great peak to summit.

Our guide Dohann Cronje was excellent. We had a lot of fun on our mountain hike and Dohann knows a lot about the fauna and flora in the region. He guided us very safely through the mountains. We can recommend Dohann unreservedly as a guide. Thank you very much. - Ulrich
A great guide to talked about a variety of topics. Very helpful in guiding us both up and down. Great at arranging a time to suit us and we were very glad to have started our walk at 5am so we could see the sunrise. It also meant we were down before it got hot. A great experience - Linda
