If you like walking do this!

Mthunzi, my guide was excellent , I had no doubt he would get me to the top. Although a young man he has ten years experience of guiding. He clearly loves what he does !

Table Mountain hike and abseil

We hiked up Table Mountain with Mthunzi who was very fun, professional and very reassuring. He allowed us to hike at our own pace and take stops whenever we felt that we needed them so that the hikr was as comfortable as it possibly could be. Once at the top he took photos on our phones for us and gave us as much time as we needed to take in the views and freshen up before we began the abseil. During the abseil, which was carried out with his colleagues, Mthunzi looked after all of or belongings whilst he waited for us to return. He then guided us through the cable car ticket process before we returned to the bottom of the mountain. This was a first class experience and I would highly recommend using Mthunzi as a guide as he was superb.

Table Mountain Abseil & Hike Experience

We had the best experience with Mthunzi hiking Table Mountain and doing the abseil. For the abseil the guides made sure we felt completely safe at all times and the views were incredible!!! Mthunszi took great care of us going up the mountain, took the most fantastic photos , and sent them through afterwards. We’re on our honeymoon and this was one of the highlights of our trip!!!

Mthunzi is an AMAZING guide. He is so knowledgeable and patient! He kept us safe and confident as we ventured up table mountain and abseiled down! He took the most memorable photos kindly and kept us at a comfortable pace. I don’t think the experience could have been any better. Thank you SO much for an incredible adventure Mthunzi!

Celebration

As part of our 40th Anniversary celebration we booked to do an abseil on Table Mountain, South Africa. We booked this prior to arrival in South Africa. Thankfully the weather was favourable and we made our way up the mountain in the cable car to meet the Team. We received a safety brief and the equipment was demonstrated. The Team gave very clear instructions, demonstrated how to use the equipment and helped us to put the harnesses on. They took photos and videos for us and when we were all happy we began the descent. It was so exhilarating, the views were tremendous and the sense of achievement immense. Thank you Mthunzi, Howard, Jordan and Lloyd for being part of our celebration and taking photos that we will treasure forever.

Operator response

Thank you so much for celebrating your 40th anniversary with us! 🎉 We’re thrilled the weather played along and that our team could make your abseil such a memorable and exhilarating experience. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with Mthunzi, Howard, Jordan, and Lloyd. 🌄🧗‍♂️

50 Year Olds And Still Hanging On —Thanks to Our Amazing Guide!

Our guide, Mthunzi Mehlomakulu, was kind and patient with us 50-year-olds! He really took his time—giving us proper breaks and time for lunch before the abseil. When my husband decided not to go, Mthunzi went down with me, which was incredibly helpful and reassuring. As a first-timer, I found the descent far from straightforward and honestly, quite scary. The guys at the abseil were also just as pleasant. Just a note for fellow Americans: while the hike may be considered “medium” by local standards, it definitely felt more challenging to us!

Operator response

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the hike and abseil combo, and we’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to Mthunzi. He truly has a gift for making every guest feel comfortable and supported, and we’re so glad he was able to make your first abseil experience reassuring and memorable. We also appreciate your note about the hike difficulty—it’s a great reminder for our international guests to pace themselves and take those breaks, just as you did. Well done on conquering the descent, and we hope to welcome you (and maybe your husband next time!) back for another adventure soon. Warm regards, The Cape Town Abseil Team
