Kloof Corner
Kloof Corner is best in the late afternoon when you can catch the sunset over Cape Town with Lion's Head in view. An easy-to-moderate hike makes it accessible for most fitness levels, though not a place for those with young kids. It’s a social spot—bring a picnic or grab takeout from nearby Sea Point for an informal dinner with a view. It's an open, sun-exposed trail, so pack plenty of water and sunscreen.
Bring your own cutlery if you plan to picnic at the top.
Takes about 20 minutes to reach the top for sunset; plan timing.
Union Caves is 500m off the path for shelter and a picnic spot.
Not ideal in poor weather as fog or mist can obscure the stunning views. Plan for a clear day to make the most of it.
