Die Wanderung zum Lion's Head war eine der schönsten Erlebnisse, die wir je hatten. Lynette war einfach super! Sollten wir eines Tages wieder nach Kapstadt reisen, werden wir definitiv wieder eine Tour bei ihr buchen. Wenn ich könnte, würde ich 10 Sterne geben! Der Ausblick oben ist so schön, dass ich tatsächlich vor Glück geweint habe - absolut überwältigend. Die Wanderung ist ein absolutes Muss bei jeder Kapstadt Reise. Da die Wege teilweise etwas anspruchsvoll sind, würde ich als Neuling definitiv immer zusammen mit einem Guide wandern - und am besten mit Lynette!

The route is the goal. We could only feel the sunrise, but the climb was challenging for me, but definitely manageable. Thanks to our guide Lynette, I was able to put aside my fear of the descent. She did fantastic. All in all, it was a very positive experience for me.

The hike was amazing! Although we were a little bit afraid because we didn't have any hiking experience, our guide Barry was super calm and made the whole experience hassle and stress free. He even took pictures of us on the way! It was really nice and we would love to repeat it once we are back in Cape Town.
