Steep Trail with stunning view and great guide
We had an amazing time on this hike! The trail is definitely steep and challenging, but absolutely worth it. Our guide Mthunzii was awesome. Hiking with him honestly felt more like going up with a friend than being on a guided tour. He was super easy to talk to, always made sure we were comfortable with the pace, and told us lots of interesting things along the way. He also knew some great secret spots and took really cool photos of us throughout the hike, which was such a nice bonus. We had a blast from start to finish and would absolutely recommend doing this hike with Mthunzii!
