The tour opens where the city exhales — atop Signal Hill beside the Kramat, wind nudging faces toward the Atlantic. Participants set off along the Lion’s Head contour, where fynbos slopes and sandstone ribs frame sweeping views of Table Mountain and the villas of Camps Bay. The route then arcs down the rocky coastline, passing Clifton’s white-sand coves and the lively Sea Point Promenade.
