    Perfect hike for beginners!"

    We did the sunrise hike up Platteklip Gorge and it was magical. The guide was super patient and knowledgeable, and the views were insane. Highly recommend for anyone new to hiking!

    "Safe, scenic, and soulful."
    As a solo traveler, I felt totally safe and looked after. The India Venster route was adventurous but never felt risky. Muki Venture’s team is top-notch.
