Rob our guide was fantastic, sent messages before I was even in the country to ensure I knew where to go and what to take with me. His knowledge of the mountains, floral and wildlife really added to the hike. I can’t recommend how much more enjoyable it was having a guide like Rob.

Our guide, Fatima, was excellent!! I would never have been able to do this without her. I have a fear of heights, but I really wanted to do this. It was more challenging that I anticipated. This was more than what "hiking" I'm used to. This had some true climbing to it!! There were times I wanted to turn around and actually became frozen with fear. Fatima knew just what to say to me to help. The subtle little nudge of my foot, the standing right behind me....all what I needed to be able to make it to the top AND back down. I was worried about my husband behind me, she always kept me informed of how he was doing too. The views from the top did not disappoint either. Just stunning!!

Our guide. , Stuart was excellent . He was so experienced and knowledgeable about Lions Head , the climb including teaching us about the area, nature, flowers and animals. He showed us the best route up and down and kept us feeling safe and happy. He loves his work and you can tell. I highly recommend him and his guide company!
