Discover Cape Town Three Peaks

Cape Town’s mountains are part of the city’s identity, and this trio brings its best-known skyline into one journey. Devil’s Peak anchors the eastern side of the mountain backdrop, Table Mountain stretches across its broad summit plateau, and Lion’s Head rises above the Atlantic side of the city. From different directions, the same coastline and urban landscape take on a new shape.

Maclear’s Beacon is the specific summit objective on Table Mountain, distinct from the upper cableway station. The wider national park protects a remarkable fynbos landscape, so the experience is about the vegetation and setting as much as the views. Enquire about a Cape Town itinerary that gives each mountain its own time, with space around the walking for the city, coast and changing local weather.

The mountains

The three summits

  1. Devil’s Peak

    Devil’s Peak stands at the eastern end of Cape Town’s mountain backdrop. It offers a different aspect of the city from neighbouring Table Mountain.

  2. Table Mountain (Maclear’s Beacon)

    Maclear’s Beacon marks Table Mountain’s highest point. It lies on the summit plateau, away from the upper cableway station.

  3. Lion’s Head

    Lion’s Head is the distinctive summit between Table Mountain and Signal Hill. Its position overlooks the Atlantic side of Cape Town.
