Cape Town Tandem Paragliding
Weather permitting, you may be lucky enough to see colorful paragliders gracefully flying from Lion's Head and nearby Signal Hill, taking advantage of Cape Town's spectacular coastal scenery and favorable wind conditions. As paragliding is entirely weather dependent, sightings cannot be guaranteed but often add an unforgettable touch to your Lion's Head experience.
