Cape Town Table Mountain Cultural Hiking Experience- Choose Route

Excellent guide and excellent hiking thanks for all good memories in this unforgettable journey

We had an amazing experience hiking Platteklip Gorge on Table Mountain with Codi as our private guide. He was extremely experienced, knowledgeable and professional. One of us was a fairly weak climber, but Codi remained calm, patient and encouraging throughout, making us feel safe and never rushed. The hike was challenging but incredibly rewarding, and the best part? My hubby is now hooked on hiking! Booking through GetYourGuide was simple and hassle-free, even booking just the day before. Communication was smooth and everything was well organised. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and highly recommend Codi and this experience to anyone wanting to hike Table Mountain.

Experience was absolutely amazing and perfect out your guide Codi was an amazing person full of knowledge and insight, I personally enjoyed his company and the group was great

A massive thank you to TrailsAwait.SA for such a lovely hiking experience up Bailey’s Kloof this weekend! 🥾🌿 Kurt and Lauren were fantastic guides — such lovely people with great energy and a wonderful sense of fun. It was an absolute pleasure hiking with them, and I’m already looking forward to the next adventure! 😊⛰️

What a beautiful trail God’s Window and Cave Hike was!! Guide, Kurt, was just amazing! He was very caring and knowledgeable. He ensured that everyone was safe from start till finish! Highly recommend!!

We had an awesome community hike in the Kalk Bay mountains, taking in the gorgeous views of God’s Window and exploring Muizenberg Cave. The scenery was absolutely stunning, and the whole experience was fantastic! Kurt was a wonderful guide who made us feel safe, comfortable, and well looked after throughout the hike. His knowledge and friendly nature made the experience even more special. Highly recommend Trailsawaitsa to anyone looking for a beautiful and memorable outdoor adventure! 🥾🌿🌊

We booked the hike directly with Codi from Trails Await. Having hiked with Codi before, when we inquired about a tour up Table Mountain, he recommended the India Venster route. And man, we definitely didn't regret taking his advice! As a guide, we would rate Codi 10 stars if we could. He gave us exactly the right amount of instruction, paced the hike perfectly, and shared a lot of great insight about the city, flora, and fauna along the way. Plus, he's just awesome company: it was great sharing an ice cold beer on top as a reward. I would 100% recommend booking a tour with Codi whenever you're in Cape Town!

Great experience, Codi and Zunaid are great Guides and become a friend of mine! Wait then on Brazil!

A beautiful experience and a lovely group of trail keepers! Codi was an amazing guide and shared interesting facts about about Kasteelspoort - Castles Gate

I had the most amazing tour with Trails Await SA! The mix of culture, heritage, and adventure made the experience truly fascinating and memorable.

Trails await is the only hiking company I’d recommend in Cape Town. Great communication from start to finish from the team. Was a great experience and looking forward to doing another trail with them very soon!

Full immersion into South African culture! Our tour guide, Mr Codi was phenomenal and even shared his personal cultural background deeply routed into Cape Malay.

I chose Kasteelspoort because I wanted to experience the quieter side of Table Mountain, and it was the right decision. I had expected a cold winter hike, but the day turned out to be unusually warm, so there was still plenty of climbing and sweating. The hike took around four hours, although I am quite a fast climber, so others may want to allow a little longer. Codi and Charl were fantastic throughout. The pick-up was punctual, and everything felt friendly, relaxed, and personal. Codi made sure I felt safe and comfortable without rushing me or controlling the pace. I was surprised by how few people were on the trail. We met only a handful of locals along the way, mostly students. The atmosphere was peaceful, but this is still a proper hike rather than a gentle walk. The views certainly made the effort worthwhile. Taking different routes up and down also allowed me to see more of Table Mountain. Along the way, Codi and Charl shared stories about Cape Town, its communities, and South Africa, which made the experience much more meaningful than a standard guided hike. A memorable day with two amazing local guides!

I had a really lovely hike up Kasteelspoort on Table Mountain. I booked it in winter, but the day turned out to be unusually warm, and Codi handled it so well. Codi adjusted the hike naturally, making sure it still felt safe, comfortable, and enjoyable. Charl was also nice and added to the relaxed feel of the day. I was picked up on time, and from the beginning, the experience felt very personal. I hike quite regularly, so we were able to move at a good pace, but I could tell they would easily slow things down for anyone who is not used to hiking. It did not feel like a rigid tour at all, more like being guided by someone who genuinely wanted me to enjoy the mountain. Kasteelspoort was such a beautiful route and we took about 4 hours. It was much quieter than places like Lion’s Head. I also appreciated that we went up and down different routes, so I could see more of Table Mountain. Codi also shared stories and insights about Cape Town, its people, and South Africa, which made the hike more meaningful than just reaching the top. Overall, it was a memorable experience, and I’m very happy to support a small local business. Highly recommended.

Codi was very kind and arranged a last minute hike adjusted to my schedule. He was a great guide, very knowledgeable, had a very encouraging attitude and overall it was a great way to spend the time! The views were amazing and the experience unique. I highly recommend doing this hike.
