Amazing hike on India Venster! - We had an amazing time hiking Table Mountain with Kai! He was a fantastic guide and very knowledgeable about the plants and natural history of the area. We hiked the India Venster route, which required some scrambling in places, but Kai did a great job of suggesting routes that helped us feel confident on some of the trickier sections. The views from the India Venster were amazing, and we saw some cool wildlife! Overall, we had a fabulous time on the hike and would highly recommend Kai's guiding services for adventures on Table Mountain.

The best climb of my life - The most exceptional trad climbing and hiking guide ever. Experienced table mountain in all her glory. So grateful for Kai. Always felt safe even when just dangling on a rope rappelling 100m down. Thanks to this experience I took on climbing as a sport. If you are with Kai you are in the best hands. Would trust him with my life (and I did).
