A morning stroll (not!) up a mountain

RestlessRose, Jun 2023

My second trip to CapeTown and I wanted to hike up Table Mountain to celebrate commencement of my 60s. 2 friends joined me. It was something truly awesome to climb above the clouds. Because it had been raining, we encountered a few waterfalls. The route chosen, at the suggestion of our guide, Patrick, was very scenic. A friend had faced difficulty during the hike, and about halfway, decided not to continue. Patrick was kind enough to escort her down to safety, and reclimbed to meet the remaining parties as we continued our way up. We all had a really wonderful experience, largely thanks to Patrick, who took very good care. Oh and I must also mention Patrick's deep knowledge of the flowers found on the mountain, and the geology of the mountain.

Hi Rebecca, all my pleasure, I also had a great time with you guy's, hope to see again down in Cape Town for more hiking!

Amazing climb with experienced and friendly guide. A must do!

My wife and I had a fantastic hike up Table mountain guided by Patrick. It's an early start and is definitely not for the feint hearted, but it was a very rewarding experience and highly recommended. Patrick was extremely knowledgable about the mountain, the wildlife and the history. He also made us feel comfortable and safe on what is a challenging climb. If you are fit and eager to do something really special whilst in Cape Town, then this is for you. The amazing views at the top are even better when you feel you have earned them!

Hi Platteklip is always a good workout and set you for the rest of the day! Thank-you so much for having booked the hike with me, until next visit...take care.

Arrampicata verso la vetta di table mountain

Esperienza bellissima. Appena arrivati Patrick ci ha consigliato un diverso percorso decisamente più divertente e panoramico di quello che avevamo scelto un po' alla cieca! È stato poi molto interessante perché ci ha raccontato tantissime interessanti cose su fauna e flora durante il percorso e sapeva esattamente quando fermarsi per farci riposare e quando ripartire! Bellissima esperienza!

Ich hatte mit Patrick bei der Wanderung auf dem Tafelberg eine fantastische Zeit. Es war ein unvergessliches Erlebnis bei Sonnenaufgang durch das India Venster blicken zu können und den Tafelberg hinauf zu steigen.
