Table Mountain Guided Hike – Safe, Scenic & Tailored to You

Marié and her adorable dog, Otto were a delight! We learned so much from her about the flora of the Cape Garden Kingdom. We did an easy hike in the hills above Camps Bay. The sandwiches for lunch and all the snacks she brought were fabulous. Really impressed by the coffee pot and fixings that Marié pulled out of her bottomless backpack! Highly recommend for hikes of whatever level required!

Our family hike in Table Mountain with Marié was truly incredible. She combined professionalism with a genuine love for nature and made sure all safety measures were in place so we could enjoy the trails with our children with complete peace of mind. The experience was tailored to our family, educational, fun, and we saw places we never would have found on our own.

A fantastic experience from the very first email exchange. Marie provided in depth and friendly responses, thoroughly answering all my questions. She arrived on time (a few minutes early!) the morning of our hike and brought extra packs/water for our family of five. Marie allowed us to hike at our own pace and provided words of encouragement and interesting facts about local flora and fauna during the ascent. DO NOT miss the delicious breakfast (both the egg sandwich and pancake options felt like we were eating at a gourmet cafe instead of mountain side with incredible views). Marie was quick to suggest alternate options as the heat/sun were more intensive than originally anticipated. She led us down Woody's Ravine, which offered a shady respite, while still boasting gorgeous views. The kids all voted this descent was their favorite part :) I'd be remiss if I didn't mention Otto, the hiking dog, who always came to check on the slowest hiker (me). Marie made us feel safe, supported, and brave on this unforgettable family adventure. I would wholeheartedly recommed Klipspring Hikes!

Marie is a professional and great hiking guide. I felt 100% safe with her and around the hike she gave a lot of interesting information. The tour was really flexible planned and I always would go with her! Highly recommended!

My sister is a hiker, I'm not! And when you see Table Mountain for real you know they mean SERIOUS hiker. Not one for the flip flops brigade! Table Mountain visits either seemed to be a) Serious hike b) Cable car ride and take your selfie. I wanted a proper visit to the mountain to learn more about it and walk safely and easily round the area. I contacted Marie who responded positively immediately. Serious hikes are her business but she could oblige, no worries. On the day we had a hotel pickup for the first cable car ride to beat the heat of the day (30+ degrees). Once on top we took in the views and started walking the trail. This is prepared/concreted for the first part of the trip but eventually you are walking on a genuine trail through the fynbos - that vegetation unique to this part of SA. Marie told us all about the different kinds of plants and showed us some flowers. Also threw in some history of the Cape, including that of her own family, as we walked around and chatted about all kinds of things. Marie is someone who has turned a serious interest - hiking - into a successful business and is very professional. I am not totally doddery, but not in any sense a hiker, and Marie was very patient with the pace and I felt under no pressure. Table Mountain may be relatively flat but there are a few rocks and some short areas to climb but a helping hand was generously given at all times. Marie had prepared a light b'fast for us along with coffee and English Tea (by request) which was had sitting under the shade of a rock. You get away from the crowds on the this trip (which were quite considerable by the time we got back to the cable car). It was unseasonably hot in Cape Town for mid-March and I suddenly didn't feel great as we drove back down. Marie stopped immediately and I got out for some fresh air. Take water with you of course and more will be provided by Marie who will remind you regularly about about drinking (+ a splash of water on your hat to keep your head cool). She is a First Aider so if you come unstuck you are in good hands. Thanks! Robin and Jill (UK)

As two octogenarian couples, we were worried that a Table Mountain hike would not be for us. With Klipspring it turned out to be a wonderful experience. Not having to walk too far and enjoying a delicious picnic on the mountain made it a perfect trip. Many thanks to Marie and her team.

The tablemountain hike was the highlight of our visit to Capetown. Marie is a very knowledgeable and friendly guide with attention to detail (making a perfect cappuccino with a view when we took a break).

Marie is a great guide, with interesting knowledge to share on the beautiful Kasteelspoort hike we did. She’s accompanied by her funny dog and she made us coffee on a rock halfway up Table mountain. Awesome and exhilarating hike at a pleasant and feasible pace.

Marie brings both a detailed knowledge and a feeling joyful adventure on top of this gorgeous mountain!

An early Friday morning excursion up Table Mountain was the ideal ending to our trip. A smooth cable car journey delivered us to the top - where we were speechless at the views of the ocean and city below. Marie began with a thorough safety briefing and promise of egg sandwiches (two very important components to the morning.) We did a loop to Maclear's Beacon (the HIGHEST point on the mountain!) A gorgeous hike with very accessible paths and breathtaking views. Each section had its own character in plant diversity which Marie described to us in detail. Super interesting to be able to delve into the vegetation and history of the ecosystem. Freshly brewed coffee and sandwiches on at the beacon were such a treat, with extra local snacks such as koeksisters and rusks. Super thoughtful and delicious addition to the morning. Honestly the best coffee spot in Cape Town. We absolutely LOVED our experience and would highly recommend Marie as a guide, for Table Mountain and beyond. We will definitely be back.
