Fantastic hiking experience! Salvie was an excellent guide, always responsive and willing to help and give suggestion also to the other people on the way up to the top if he though they needed some kind of help. The view at the top is spectacular: is not an easy hike, but it definitely worths the effort
Response from Host, Apr 2024

Hiking to the top

I really enjoyed the hike, although the wheather wasn't the best. Fats was really helpful and she explained me a lot of things.
Response from Host, Sep 2022

Amazing experience

Fatima was an amazing guide. The hike was a little more difficult than we expected but she went at our pace with needed breaks. The view was spectacular and information she provided about the mountain was great.
Response from Host, Feb 2020
Thank you for your review Rachel. We always let our guests determine the pace and we keep them safe and entertained. Glad you had a memorable experience and hope to see you again.
Too crowded, too noisy

We booked our hike during Cape Town's UTC (ultra trail). It was very busy on the trail. The company should not be offering hikes during this race. In addition, some people were playing bagpipes on the mountain and another group was constantly shouting and played music from loudspeakers. One goes to nature to escape the city, not to deal with business and noise. Playing music of any sorts shouldn't be permitted on these hiking trails.
Response from Host, Jan 2020
Hi Katjana, I am sorry to read this review and for the experience you had. I think it is unreasonable to give Wild Things Outdoor a poor review based on a number of facts: 1. You booked a hike for 30th November 2. Loud music and people are out of our control. We do not own the trails and have to share with the public 3. You informed you guide that you understood that this was out of our hands. 4. You tipped our guide for good service. At the end of the day, we gave you the best possible service in a not so ideal context. Fatima did an excellent job as you confirmed. This would have also been the same if it was cloudy or raining but that is the name of the game when it comes to our mountains and guiding. You have to work with what you have. We do the best we can given the conditions. Please note your review is a personal opinion not a reflection of our service to you on the day. Again I am sorry you felt the need to give us a poor rating based on the above facts. Sincerely,

From $91.33
