My partner and I took the Table Mountain Summit walk via Kasteelspoort. Mark picked us up from our hotel and drove us to the base. We spent the next few hours hiking up the beautiful mountain side and stopping to take in the sights.
Mark is a one in a million guide. He knows the mountain inside and out having previously worked in the national park as a ranger, as well as being a Nature Conservationist- so as you can imagine, he has a wealth of knowledge that is second to none. We had such an amazing time and learnt so much.
Thank you Mark and hope you have a Happy Birthday today 🥳

Spectacular hike!
My daughter and I had an amazing hike up table mountain with Justin. What a spectacular experience! Aside from being incredibly knowledgeable about the flora and fauna, he led us on the perfect routing for us of the mountain. I felt super safe the whole time and really enjoyed the conversation.

Fantastic day hike with Justin. He was very knowledgeable about the National park and was always mindful of pace and asking us if we were ok. Views were fantastic. Book this hike you won’t regret it!!

Amazing table mountian tour
Review for mark
Initially, we booked a tour as we were concerned about safety (crime) and wanted to make sure that we had someone knowledgable to take us up. However, I completely underestimated how much value mark would add to our walk.
The day started out with a heavy mist/cloud which cloaked the mountian, but that in no way tempered our experience. Mark is an excellent guide. In terms of timing and pacing he was perfect. Mark stopped frequently, and helped us to manage our efforts, so getting to the top felt like a breeze. At every stop Mark would point out a flower, or bird or recount a story from his times working on the mountian (he was a ranger before becoming a guide).
His passion for the mountian and its history was infectious, and we got so much more out of the walk than we bargained for.
The fact the sun came out at the top was an added bonus - to be honest I still would have highly rated this experience of it had been cloudy all day.

Ideal for those with an interest in the local wildlife
The hike to Table Mountain, with Justin as my guide, was a truly enjoyable experience. Not only did I have the opportunity to safely reach the summit, but I also gained a wealth of knowledge from Justin's extensive expertise in the local environment. This unique aspect set it apart from all the other guided tours I've been on, making it an invaluable opportunity for those with a keen interest in the distinctive plant and animal life of the Cape region.

Magnificent Kirstenbosch
We were supposed to go hiking the summit of Table Mountain through Kasteelpoort. Unfortunately the weather was bad and the forecast even worse so our guide proposed a different hike…. Ultimately we hiked through Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens to Skeleton Gorge and Constantianek… What a pleasant surprise……Mark is a walking encyclopedia with his knowlwdge of nature, flowers birds and trees. He was very helpful getting the opportunities for foto’s of birds and we would have loved to learn so much more from him.
It was an amazing journey throughout the incredible nature of Kirstenbosch and the wonderful world of Fynbos!!!
