South African National Parks (SANParks) has informed the public that the Jeep Track at Lion’s Head will be temporarily closed to facilitate essential maintenance.
The closure will take effect from 20 April 2026 and is expected to remain in place until 20 June 2026, subject to project completion timelines and weather conditions.
Lion’s Head is the peak to the right of Table Mountain when facing it head-on and offers a short but popular hike with 360-degree views of the Atlantic seaboard, the City, and Table Mountain.
“During this period, the Jeep Track will not be accessible to the public. However, hikers will still be able to access the Lion’s Head Summit via alternative routes, which are the Kramat trail located on Signal Hill Road, the Upper Rhine Road Trail and the trail from Kloof Road,” SANParks said.
The Lion’s Head parking area is still available to those who want to use the trail from Kramat to Lions Head.
This maintenance project is aimed at improving trail safety and enhancing the overall visitor experience.
The public is urged to adhere to all posted signage and safety instructions during the closure period.
Regular updates and reminders will be communicated through official channels. - SAnews.gov.za
