"The world reveals itself to those who travel on foot”
– Werner Herzog
Having spent many happy years guiding hikers in the Drakensberg mountains of KwaZulu Natal, I have now turned my attention - and passion - to scaling the heights of the Cape. I invite you to experience the magic of the mountains through my private guided hikes around Cape Town, where I specialise in the trails of Table Mountain National Park. On offer are a variety of routes and adventures for all ages and abilities, all of which are led by me, a fully qualified wilderness first responder medic and and registered mountain guide.
A trained plant pathologist, I take particular pleasure in sharing my knowledge of flora and fauna with my clients. I believe in taking nothing from the mountain except memories (and photographs!) so if you want a memorable mountain experience, book a hike with me, Geoff Tennant, at Cape Hiker today.
