I highly recommend Muki Venture, and especially the guide Carmen. I spent a wonderful morning with her hiking via the Platteklip Gorge on the Table Mountain. I‘d love to do more hikes with Carmen very soon. And thanks a lot to Steffi for the uncomplicated and professional organization. I am extremely satisfied!
