Why use a guide?

Besides supporting a local economy, mountain safety is a priority for all participants. Let’s take, for example, the individual who comes to hike mountains in South Africa only to find their ideas of climbing were not prepared for the situation. 

Many times, we have hiked these paths only to find people climbing without water or even right before dark. Without the proper safety gear and precautions on many of the loose rock trails, finding yourself slipping off the mountain is a real danger, represented by the many news over the years.

Even if you were experienced or knowledgeable enough to hike alone or without the guidance of a professional. Then would you be able to distinguish a questionable character approaching you for a mugging? 

Let’s not go into all of the details, please make use of our guided hikes for the best experience and to see a world more than you would on your own.
