Had an amazing hike with Jean! He was such a great guide, very knowledgeable, patient and friendly. He made some of the challenging parts of the hike seem easy, he took his time to explain the history of table mountain and the surrounding area.
Dear Attwell, Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I’m delighted to hear that your hike was both enjoyable and enriching. Jean will be truly touched by your kind words; his knowledge, patience, and passion for Table Mountain are qualities he takes great pride in sharing with every guest. It means a great deal to know that he was able to make the more challenging sections feel effortless, while also bringing the history and landscape to life. Your appreciation is deeply valued, and we’re grateful you chose to spend your time with us on the mountain. We look forward to welcoming you again for another adventure. Warm regards, Sue, Golden Eagle Team
I had an amazing experience hiking to the top of Table Mountain this morning with my guide Mthunzi. There was nobody else on the tour so we went my speed and climbed in the cool shade of the morning into the “table cloth.” We took as many breaks to catch a breath as well as to take photos as I wanted. It was an incredibly windy morning so the cable car was closed so we had the top almost entirely to ourselves. It is a beautiful spot in the world and an awesome feeling to watch Cape Town, Lion’s Head, and the Twelve Apostles come and go from view through the clouds. Mthunzi is a great guide - he knows the trails well and hikes everyday. He had trekking poles I could have used if I wanted too. I strongly recommend doing this hike to the top of Table Mountain - even if the weather isn’t perfect!
Dear Dr. Gretchen, Thank you so much for sharing such a thoughtful and vivid reflection of your hike up Table Mountain. We are delighted to hear that your experience with Mthunzi was both memorable and meaningful. His care in pacing the journey to your comfort, allowing time for rest and photos, and guiding you safely through the morning mist and wind is exactly the kind of personal attention we strive to offer. It’s wonderful that you were able to witness the “table cloth” and enjoy the rare gift of having the summit almost to yourself, a truly special way to take in the views of Cape Town, Lion’s Head, and the Twelve Apostles. Your words capture the magic of the mountain beautifully, and we’re grateful that you recommend the hike even when the weather adds its own drama. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind praise to Mthunzi, who takes great pride in sharing his knowledge of the trails and his love for the mountain. Thank you again for choosing to hike with us—we hope the memory of this day stays with you, and we look forward to welcoming you back for another adventure. Warm regards, Sue, Golden Eagle T & T team
