Embarking on the adventurous Lions Head hiking trail with tourists.

I’m not a morning person.

But something about climbing Lion’s Head before the city wakes makes that brutal alarm call feel poetic—eventually.


This short video captures the walk in the dark, the first headlamp beams cutting through the silence, and that breathtaking moment when the sun peeks over Cape Town. It’s cinematic, a little cheeky (“why am I awake??”), and totally worth every sleepy yawn.


You’ll see:


A misty, headlamp-led ascent


Golden sunrise lighting up ocean & rooftops


Me wondering why I didn’t stay in bed… and glad I didn’t
