Full Moon Lion’s Head Hike

You have to do a full moon hike up Lion’s Head when you’re in Cape Town. We finally had the opportunity to do it on Sunday night because the weather was perfect and the sky was clear! We got to the base of Lion’s Head just as the sun was beginning to set, but once we were about halfway up the mountain we had an incredible view of the sun dipping down behind the water of Camp’s Bay. We continued upwards and about an hour later made it to the peak. Because it is such a popular activity, the top of the mountain was packed with other moon spectators enjoying the evening. We ate our dinner and marveled at the sparkling city below, enjoying the cool breeze before heading back down the mountain. It was a bit scary climbing down the rocks in the dark, but overall an awesome experience!
