Cape Trekking Guided Hikes

5 Elissa Title - 3 years ago

When I was last in Cape Town, I didn't go on a single hike. Shocking, considering there are so many great trails here. This time around I knew I wanted to hike to see the sunrise. Nick and I left at 5am for a hike up Lion's Head. With only a headlamp as our light, we set up the mountain. I do a bit of hiking at home but this hike was more challenging than what I'm used to, at times doing a bit of scrambling to get up the steep rocks. On the entire hike, Nick went at a pace that not only suited me but he also provided a plethora of information on the flora, fauna, and South Africa as a whole. When we began walking down the mountain, I couldn't believe I had hiked up all those rocks in the pitch black early morning! The views of Table Mountain, the sunrise, the clouds rolling in, the hike as a whole, and Nick's company are something I'll cherish forever. He also proceeded to take my mom and I on a short driving tour of Bo-Kaap, a little walking street art tour in Woodstock, shopping at the Old Biscuit Mill, and to the Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden. His passion for the outdoors, knowledge of Cape Town, and experience hiking shine through. I recommend him highly, and hope to enjoy more hikes in Cape Town one day! THANK YOU, NICK!!

My group of 4 hiked the India Venster trail on Table Mountain with Nick last week and it was a truly remarkable and memorable experience! Our group was rather hungover and in a pretty hot early morning sun but Nick guided us up the very challenging trail while sharing many archeological, plant and animal life, history, and general Cape Town facts along the way. He is extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and charming. He also dropped us off at one of his favorite outdoor restaurants nearby which set us for a lovely unplanned afternoon. Cannot recommend Cape Trekking enough! Thank you again Nick! - the Los Angeles gang on Feb 5th

My boyfriend and I had a fantastic hike with the professional and very experienced guide Nick. Nick was very helpful from the start and everything was perfectly planned. I can highly recommend his company to everyone. You feel in safe hands and have a fantastic experience

At the end of November, I had the opportunity to do a full day hike with Nick. As I had reached out to him (discovered by a simple Google search) a few weeks prior, we had enough time for him to suggest a more unique route through Disa Gorge, which required a special SA Parks permit.

I am very glad for this recommendation from Nick, his organization, and what was a truly memorable hike. By the end of 8 h it was challenging (but I asked for it!), but well worth it. Nevertheless, we talked almost non-stop through the hike. Nick is knowledgable and passionate both of local Cape Town and South Africa, but also as a world traveller and adventurer in his own right.

Nick is a wonderful guide, professional, personable and very knowledgeable about the flora and fauna. We did a 7 hour trek up the Apostles to Tranquility Cracks across and then down Disa Gorge. Great trip.

We did the full day trip to the Cape Peninsula. It was great! Nick is an informative, engaging and relaxed guide and tailored the day perfectly for us. So glad we took the trip to such a beautiful place with such a good guide!

I went hiking on the mountain and the experience was overwhelming and splendid. We also met a tour guide along the hike who was very friendly to confronted us on tips on how to climb the mountain
