    A very nice hike with a very nice guide!
    We did the Lion's Head sunset hike with guide Rob and it was really an amazing experience! Rob was very funny and gave us lots of information about the hike and nature in general. He made the hike a very safe experience and adapted it to our needs. On the top he showed us all the good photo spots and took photos of us. He also had head torches for us, as it got dark quite fast when going down after the sunset. As a bonus, Rob picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel in Cape Town. I would definitly do another tour with Wild Things Outdoor!

    Great and worth the time & years
    Great Guide and a Great Tour. Was possible for us incl. our 11 & 14 year old daughters. Upward approx 1.5 Hours. Rob was a very sensitive, gentle and flexible Guide with many years of outdoor and hiking experience. Up and downeards there were at least 3 alternative routes possible with varying degree of difficulty.

    Lion's Head Hike
    The guided hike up Lion's Peak with Stuart was excellent. Not only did we get to enjoy the incredible views, but also learn a huge amount from Stuart about the area and its history. An absolutely fantastic way to see and experience Cape Town.

    Absolutely stunning!
    She was by far one of the most knowledgeable, passionate, and professional about her craft. You can tell she loves the mountains and the region of Cape Town. Honestly such a wonderful experience!

    Hike Lions Head with Stu - You WON'T be disappointed!
    I'm so glad we had a guide, and that Stu (ownder/guide of Wild Things Outdoor) was that guide. Although, you can hike Lion's Head on your own, you would be missing out on SO much. Stu really provided for a full experience, and I'm grateful. Before I'd even booked, Stu was quick and helpful in his communication. Then, when we we arrived at the trailhead, I knew we were in for an great afternoon. He is super friendly, personable, patient, and knowledgeable - from geology, flora/fauna, history, hiking, etc. We were both nerding out over what we were learning from him. He allowed us to set a reasonable pace, was always encouraging/positive, and let us stop to take as many pictures as we wanted. When we got to the summit, we enjoyed the gorgeous sunset. After listening to him share with us, several other hikers remarked how they wished they'd had a guide to make for a more well-rounded experience. On the way down, we encountered a solo woman hiker who was very unprepared for the conditions - improper shoes, not enough water (it was a scorcher), and no light other than her phone (it was dark by then). She was scared. Stu is very safety conscious, and she walked back down part of the way with us until she met up with another group. This was such a memorable experience, in large part because of Stu. I highly recommend you look at booking with Wild Things Outdoor for your South Africa adventures!

    Best Hike Ever
    Stuart was an incredible guide..you could tell he was extremely passionate about nature, Cape Town, and South African history. He also made two very novice hikers feel very safe throughout the process with his expertise. Couldn’t imagine a better tour guide for this hike and can’t recommend him enough.

    Amazing experience!
    The experience we had with the climb to the top of Lions Head was simply amazing! Stuart led us to the top and during the hike he showed us all kinds of amazing things about the flora and the wildlife. From insects to nocturnal owls, he knew lots of interesting stuff. The views were stunning and Stu took some great photos along the way. We really enjoyed the hike, both up and down and with all the knowledge and stories shared by Stu it was an awesome experience!

    Cape Town city tour and Peninsula tour.
    Stu Coffey is an excellent guide, very personable. He is passionate about what he does. Would highly recommend. His knowledge of the history, culture, flora, and fauna is impressive. He tailors the tour to what you want to do, or are capable of doing. City tour hit all the highlights, plus went up the gondola to top of Table Mountain. An excellent walk around the top with Stu explaining the flora and fauna. Walking tour through city. Lunch at a home in the Bo Kaap area for Malay cuisine. Peninsula tour was the best! We love the coast and nature, so the drive along the beautiful coastline was amazing. Stopped in many places along the route. Saw wild ostrich, elands, and my favorite—PENGUINS! Excellent seafood lunch in Simonstown. A full day.

    An unforgettable hiking experience with memories to last a lifetime!
    We had the privilege of doing 4 different hikes around Somerset West, Helderberg and Kogelberg during my 40th birthday trip. Stuart’s knowledge of the local flora added so much value to the experience. I would hike with Stuart again, any day!

    Amazing
    Stu was an excellent guide. He was so informative and great with fun facts. The hike itself may be challenging for some but with a guide like Stu and the view at the top it makes it completely worth it. I would do this again.

Thank you Rob for this unforgettable hike at India Venster. I didn't want to hike alone on Table Mountain, so I booked a tour by wild things outdoor. I didn't regret it for a second. The communication in advance was super easy. The pace was always adapted and in the difficult parts he explained everything to me in detail. We had a lot of fun discovering geology, the rocks and cracks. Rob always has coffee with him for the summit and knows the best places for it. I can only recommend the tours and would do it again at any time.

Table Mountain Is amazing. This route, in particular, is so varied. My guide was Rob, he is wonderful and helped me to understand the beauty of the mountain although it's covered by the fog

Stuart is a fantastic guide who clearly loves what he does and is keen to impart knowledge and get you excited about the wonderful fynbos all around you on the hiking trail

It's a great route up Table Mountain and we always felt safe and never rushed.

Sadly we went up on a day when the mountain had it's table cloth on and hiked through the cloud to the top, but we had a fab time despite this! Highly recommended route in any weather :)

We had an incredible experience with Stuart. He guided us on the India Venster route up Table Mountain and, while it was a *little* scary at times for people with a fear of heights (like me), he made us extremely comfortable and safe. He was extremely knowledgeable about flora, fauna, and the history of Cape Town and this was one of our top adventures while in South Africa. Book it today!

Highly recommend Wild Things Outdoors; I did two tours with them: Lions Head at Sunrise and India Venster Table Mountain, both with excellent guides who were extremely friendly and knowledgeable and provided fantastic experiences during my visit to Cape Town.
