Summer in Cape Town is hard to rival anywhere in the world, and the warm summer nights give the perfect opportunity to climb to the top of Lions Head under the light of the moon. This is definitely a Cape Town top 10 in my book as on a clear night the view from the top out across the 12 apostles bathed in moonlight is a difficult site to compare with anything else in the world. The hike itself is far from difficult and the light of the moon is more than enough of a guide to see where you are heading. Another added bonus is not having the baking summer sun beating down on your back, but rather the cool ocean breeze. These moonlight hikes have become fairly popular in recent times amongst Cape Town locals and there is normally an opportunity to meet up with a group of hikers in the parking lot o head up together with.
