Lynette was wonderful. She found a group I could join for an amazing hike. We got lots of great photos and learned about the flora and fauna. She taught us how to climb safely and also made recommendations about places of interest to check out. When I come back to Cape Town I will book another hike with her as there are so many to do.
Safe hands and a kind heart

Binny led our family of 6 adults, with varying levels of fitness and hiking experience, on our hike up Table Mountain. She was in touch with us in advance of the hike and had had a pack full of sustenance (bars, juice, and extra room for the things we couldn't carry). Binny was accommodating and encouraging and good company from start to finish. I would highly recommend Binny if you're looking for a mountain guide in Cape Town.

We hiked both Table Mountain (Indian Venster) and Lion's Head with Binny. She was great! The hikes, while challenging (especially Indian Venster), felt easy with her as she made sure we knew exactly where to put our feet. She made us feel comfortable the whole way up and was very knowledgeable about the history of the city and the flora and fauna we saw on the hikes. She was also accomodating when weather affected our plans last minute. Highly recommended!

I had a great sunrise hike on Lion's Head with Binny! She was so accomodating with some delays in my baggage arriving and changed the hike to better match my fitness level. I loved how she was able to point out sights along the hike and answer all of my questions about South African politics, Definitely recommend booking a hike with her!
Great experience

Had a fantastic climb with Binny up table mountain. She went out of her way to point out things to do with flora/fauna, local knowledge and took us to the Indian venster window which was beautiful. We would absolutely recommend to anybody who wants an exciting walk and we would definitely use Binny again!! Brilliant day! Ivan and Rebecca

Binny is a great guide; informative, interesting, amusing and good company and clearly knows Table Mountain and all its nooks and crannies exceptionally well. She took great care of my son and I and thoughtfully adapted plans as the weather changed. She can even talk about UK TV in the early 1980s if conversation gets desperate (it won't)!
A must-do hike with Binny on Table Mountain!

I had a brilliant morning out hiking the India Venster route up Table Mountain! Binny is an extremely experienced guide who seriously knows her stuff! She was very informative and approachable. She and her colleague X did an amazing job at supporting everyone through the hike, and made sure everyone got through comfortably. I can definitely recommend this to anyone who is considering a hike up Table Mountain! You won't regret it!
Very informative and enjoyable day with Binny!

Binny was a fantastic guide. Her passion for her craft is unmistakable. She works with people at their skill level to ensure fun is had by all. You can tell how good she is for the community by the way she is warmly greeted by all on staff at Table Mountain. Highly recommend!
