SOUTH AFRICA

Private Table Mountain Hike

With its diverse landscapes of waving grasslands, arid deserts, soaring mountains and dramatic coastlines, all combined with cosmopolitan cities, South Africa is a fascinating and beautiful country. Cape Town is a major city, but it boasts some of the most beautiful hiking trails in the world, with views that span dramatic mountain ranges and the sparkling Atlantic Ocean below. Hiking up two iconic peaks – Lions Head and Table Mountain – are must-dos for any avid hiker visiting the area. Local guide Ian will make sure travellers get up and down safely whilst showing the best viewpoints hidden to most tourists. Born and bred in Cape Town, Ian has been taking groups up this mountain since the age of 13, providing him with a wealth of knowledge and experience that is only achievable to those who call Cape Town home.
