The hiking trail on Lion’s Head was closed for maintenance in January but SANParks has confirmed that it officially opened today.

Cape Town - The hiking trail on Lion’s Head was officially reopened on Friday, March 1, following its closure in January to allow Table Mountain National Parks to conduct maintenance.

Some of the work conducted during the closure of the trails includes closures of unauthorised pathways and desire lines, directional signage erected to guide hikers along the official trails, and completion of the assessment for certification of the climbing infrastructure along the trail. "Many illegal trails have been closed as a part of rehabilitation efforts and we ask that visitors respect these closures and stay on the demarcated trail. The conservation team have also commenced vegetation rehabilitation in a number of places and the park requests the public assist the team with this process by not stepping off the pathway for any reason."
