Wow! What an incredible and epic hike up to table mountain with our guide Zunaid Baba @capehikingexperience! We did a sunrise hike via plattekloof gorge and even though the trail was daunting at times, Zunaid's patience, encouragement and guidance throughout the entire journey was extremely motaivating and very much appreciated! His knowledge about the mountain's history was a great added touch as well, keeping the experience even more interesting! And all this whilst experiencing the most breath taking views up the trail!! We even got to see a mountain goat 🐐!! Thank you at capehikingexperience for such an awesome adventure! Definitely looking forward to our next hike!

What a memorable experience with Cape Hiking Experience. I always wanted to hike Table Mountain and they made it possible. A big shout out to Zunaid for being a great guide and for being patient with me while I cramped up but with his help I managed to tick off Table Mountain from my Bucket List.

I had an incredible hike with Cape Hiking Experience. It was my first time hiking up Table Mountain, and Zunaid made it a memorable hike. He is a very knowledgeable and experienced guide. A few members of our group had some difficulty coming up the mountain, and Zunaid had patience and offered great assistance in getting everyone up safely.
The freshly brewed coffee that we were given once we reached the summit was a cherry on top. Would highly recommended Cape Hiking Experience for your next hike.

I had an incredible Cape hiking experience with Zunaid on the Skeleton Gorge route. He’s a fantastic guide — knowledgeable, calm, and always safety-focused, which made the hike both enjoyable and stress-free. He checked in regularly, set a great pace, and even treated me to a well-timed coffee break which a great fresh expresso that was very much appreciated! The views, the experience, and the guidance were all top-notch. I’ll definitely be booking my next hike with him soon. Highly recommended!

I went on a hike at Harold Porter Nature Reserve with Zunaid Baba, who I can confirm is the most charismatic tour guide I’ve ever been with. I came here from Australia, considering Cape Town has the most nature diversity I’ve seen, and exploring this in the form of a hike with Zunaid was amazing. He always checked in my group, ensuring our safety, happiness and comfort and made witty jokes through the rough bits, which never failed to bring a giggle out of us. 10/10 experience, I would recommend to anyone looking for a tour guide!

We did the Sunset Lion’s Head hike with Cape Hiking Experience on December 8th and it was absolutely unforgettable. Zunaid was an excellent guide — professional, friendly, and very knowledgeable, making the hike feel safe and enjoyable throughout. The sunset views over Cape Town were breathtaking, and the fresh espresso at the summit was such a special touch. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Cape Town or looking for a unique local adventure. 🌄☕️

I recently booked the India Venster hike with Cape Hiking Experience, guided by Zunaid, and it was absolutely phenomenal. From start to finish, the experience was professional, safe, and truly memorable. Zunaid is extremely knowledgeable about the route, the mountain, and the history of Table Mountain, which added so much value to the hike.

He made sure everyone felt comfortable and confident throughout, constantly checking in and adjusting the pace where needed. The views were breathtaking, and the route was both adventurous and rewarding. Safety was clearly a top priority, which gave me peace of mind on a more technical trail like India Venster.

If you’re looking for a well-organised, authentic, and exhilarating hiking experience on Table Mountain, I highly recommend Cape Hiking Experience and guide Zunaid. I’ll definitely be booking again!
