Lookout Hill

Climb the wooden staircase leading to the top of this sand hill for a sweeping view of Khayelitsha township. For access it’s best to go into the cultural and tourism centre at its base, where you’ll find the restaurant Malibongwe and a craft market. Ask there for a security guard to accompany you, as there have been incidents of muggings.
