“My daughter and I did a very enjoyable hike up to Table Mountain summit via the India Venster route with Riaan. Riaan is very knowledgeable and shared lots of tips related to scrambling, route finding, as well as many tidbits on the flora, fauna and history of Table Mountain. He is an expert on the mountains and an author of a book on all the different routes of Table Mountain, and we learnt a lot during our hike. Riaan is very friendly and nice to talk to. Definitely recommmend Riaan.”

“We booked this hiking tour at the very last minute, but the team went above and beyond to accommodate us. Ethan, our guide, was absolutely fantastic! His knowledge of the area made the experience both enriching and enjoyable.
What really stood out were the lesser-known trails Ethan took us on. We explored paths that were not only less trodden but completely free of crowds, offering a sense of tranquility and exclusivity. The views were simply breathtaking—a true feast for the eyes and soul.
If you’re looking for a guided hike that combines expertise, stunning scenery, and an intimate experience away from the usual tourist spots, this is it. Highly recommend!”

“This was an absolutely amazing experience! Riaan is a great guide and he makes sure everyone enjoys the tour. The Indian Fenster Tour was breathtaking, as you are able to see different views by walking around the mountain. The tour is doable with average fitness and without prior hiking experience if you go with a guide. He makes sure everyone gets up the mountain safely. Would recommend to everyone staying in Cape town, much better than the wait at the cable car.”

“The views were amazing and it wasn’t as daunting of a hike as I thought. The only difficult parts, the guide was there to give thorough instructions and physical support.
Steph was the highlight – she was an amazing guide – knowledgeable, kind, attentive, just a delightful morning spent with her. I’ll be requesting her for my next adventure in Cape Town!”

NEW BOOK! The amplified second edition of Lines of Least Resistance will hit the shelves in October. It contains 75% more material and comes with a separate vintage map of the mountain showing the location of all the routes.
Lines of Least Resistance tells the story of Table Mountain through its hiking and scrambling routes. Drawing on his intimate knowledge of the mountain, Riaan Vorster pays tribute to the early pioneers by examining their routes, clearing the sands of time from those which have slipped into oblivion. No two routes are alike; each possesses unique qualities that reveal something of the mountain’s character. Written from a personal as well as historical perspective, the book takes the reader on a journey of discovery along the highways and byways of Table Mountain.
