Grit and beauty
Himeywinkle, Apr 2025
Johan guided my sister and me, both in our sixties, with grace and patience to the Table Mountain summit, pausing to tell us stories, teach us about local plants and animals, and explain aspects of local history and culture. This hike exceeded my expectations in every way. Despite the elevation gain of only 1000 m and the distance of only 6 km or so, the hike was steadily steep and I rushed. At the end, we were happy to sit at the summit, gaze at eagles soaring past, swearing guy, and sip a coffee together before descending by cable car. On that day, I became closer to the land, animals, and politics of this complicated country. Lauren was responsive, expert, and communicative. I give her company my highest recommendation. ❤️

Thank you for sharing your incredible experience with us and the people who will read these one day. I knew you would have the best time with us. Thank you for going from NOT wanting a guide at all (as you are both competent hikers), to speaking to us and TRUSTING us and going on a guided hike and then seeing, feeling and believing in the experience. This is the highest compliment we can get. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Great experience with Mother City Hikers

Johann is an excellent guide, who not only led us safely, but also off the beaten track to Table Mountain. His knowledge of botanicals and wildlife was also phenomenal. He was able to chat with the birds in a twittering manner. We would book him again and again.

My mom and I completed the Platteklip Gorge trail with the help of our guide Yvette! Yvette was amazing! She was so knowledgeable and patient with us as we made the climb up. Highly recommend using Mother City Hikers :)

We had an amazing experience hiking Table Mountain, and it wouldn’t have been the same without our amazing guide, Yvette. She was knowledgeable, friendly, came very prepared, and went at our pace. The views were absolutely breathtaking, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend this hike, especially with Yvette as your guide!
