Customer Reviews

This hike was absolutely amazing and a highlight of our stay in Cape Town. It was definitely tough in parts, but our guide Fatima was so patient, helping me through all the parts I was nervous about. She was also so positive, knowledgeable and made it a really enjoyable experience. The homemade cape-malay treats with coffee halfway up was a lovely and unexpected touch. Defo don’t do this route without a guide and wear grippy shoes!
