This hike is all about exploring Table Mountain OFF-THE-BEATEN-PATH with the guidance of a knowledgeable and experienced mountain guide. CHECK THE ITINERARY FOR A VARIETY OF ROUTE OPTIONS TO CHOOSE FROM.
Santie knows the mountain like the back of her hand, and will take you to some of its lesser-known places and peaks, whilst also sharing her knowledge of the mountain’s fynbos, geology and history in a relaxed manner, without you having to worry about getting lost.
You will not be following the typical tourist paths straight to the top, but rather be exploring some of the incredibly diverse and off-the-beaten-track trails up and which crisscross the mountain wilderness BEYOND Table Mountain’s imposing, flat-topped front face.
Along the way, you will discover unexpectedly spectacular views, secluded valleys and jungle-like forested gorges, little-known rock formations, and hidden flower-lined mountain streams and waterfalls. And... if you so wish, ALSO SUMMIT THE FAMOUS TABLE TOP!
