About
This isn’t just a hike—it’s a fully guided adventure led by a passionate local. I focus on safety, personal attention, and storytelling, so you don’t just climb Table Mountain, you connect with it. Along the way, you’ll hear fascinating insights about the mountain’s history, hidden legends, and rare plants most hikers overlook.
Unlike larger groups, my tours are personalised and paced to suit your fitness level, making the experience enjoyable for both seasoned hikers and first-timers. With breathtaking views, insider knowledge, and an authentic Cape Town touch, this hike becomes more than a challenge—it becomes a memory you’ll carry forever.

What You’ll Do You’ll join a guided hike up Platteklip Gorge, the most direct and iconic route to the summit of Table Mountain. Together we’ll follow the stone steps that wind steeply up the mountain, stopping along the way to enjoy breathtaking views over Cape Town, Lion’s Head, and the Atlantic Ocean.
Your guide will share local stories about the mountain’s history, geology, and unique flora and fauna. Once at the summit, you’ll have time to explore the flat-topped plateau, take in panoramic views, and capture unforgettable photos. If the cable car is operating, you’ll descend effortlessly; otherwise, we’ll hike down safely as a group.
