Exceptional Table Mountain Hike

5.00We had the most incredible experience hiking Table Mountain—truly one of the highlights of our trip to Cape Town. Our guide, Yvette, was exceptional. She was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing insights about the landscape, history, and unique ecology of Table Mountain that made the hike so much more meaningful. What really stood out was her passion and energy. Yvette clearly loves what she does, and it made the entire experience feel special and engaging from start to finish. She was also so friendly and accommodating, adjusting the pace perfectly to suit my husband and me, and making sure we felt comfortable and confident along the way. The views were absolutely breathtaking, but it was Yvette who made the day unforgettable. The whole experience felt personal, seamless, and thoughtfully curated. We left feeling proud, inspired, and so grateful for such a memorable adventure. Highly recommend hiking Table Mountain with Yvette—it doesn’t get better than this.

5.00Johan and Lauen picked us up on time early in the morning. On the way they talked us through what to expect on Table Mountain and some of the trail options we had. We chose one of the easier ones, a really scenic route up Kasteelspoort and the Kitchen Ravine, via the water reservoirs and from there to the cable car station on top of the mountain. Johan, our guide, made the hike very special. He had an incredible knowledge of the mountain and its vegetation, wildlife and the dam construction history that he shared with us in a very pleasant way. The weather was perfect for mountain hiking with sunny sky and mist that came and went throughout the day. Overall, the day was a great experience.

5.00Hike was absolutely wonderful! Started promptly at 5 am. We originally had 2 couples scheduled to go, and one couple had to back up and she didn't even blink an eye. Lauren asked us a few questions to determine what type of hike would be best for us. That was so appreciated as we had picked a hike that would not have been a good fit for our skill set. Lauren was very conscientious, making sure our walk was safe, we were feeling good, asking questions about our trip. She was very knowledgeable about all the plants and animals and rock formations. I don't think there was one single question she wasn't able to answer! She knew exactly where the great locations were for photo opportunities and was quick to offer to take photos for us. We had a snack and a break before heading back down. For not living her entire life in South Africa/CapeTown, Lauren as the best! I would recommend her to anyone wanting to hike TableTop.

5.00My wife and I had an amazing experience hiking Lion’s Head Mountain with Johan October. He was very knowledgeable about the plants and animals, and the mountain itself. He seems to know every rock on the treacherous climb, which made us feel very comfortable and safe in his presence - thanks Johan!
We adjusted our route due...

5.00We adjusted our route due to weather and cable car access for descent. Lauren and Geoff were very knowledgeable of all the different routes of Table Mountain and put us at ease as we changed course. Geoff is an avid botanist and great to learn about all the local flora and fauna.
