I had a superb climb of Table Mountain with Binny Ridgway in early April 2024. Conditions were testing, and some routes had been washed out due to a recent storm. There was cloud/fog everywhere, right from the start, and there was cold rain in the air. I would say it was a near-impossible climb for a novice. So it was fortuitous that we teamed up with Ridgway Ramblers, and its chief guide, Binny. She was excellent. She took us up Nursery Ravine, to the Beacon, and across to the cable car, and it was clear she knew every step of the way and was never disorientated, despite minimal visibility. It was masterful guiding. She was calm, reassuring, totally in control, and ever cheerful. I've climbed with Binny before, and I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending her to anyone (of any standard) who wants the really satisfying buzz of climbing one of the world's most iconic mountains. Thank you.

Great family hike up Table Mountain via the Platteklip Gorge route with Binny. We went as a family of four including kids aged 8 and 11. Binny picked us up from our hotel is Camps Bay and dropped us back off. We set off at 7am and were back at our hotel for breakfast at 10.30am!

Definitely happy we went with a guide to do the hike. Even though Platteklip Gorge is a popular route, it really helped having an experienced guide to set the pace and keep us going! I think if we went by ourselves firstly we probably would’ve backed out of the hike, and secondly wouldn’t have paced it well. In addition, Binny gave us excellent commentary on all the fauna and wildlife which kept things interesting for everyone. The kids did not complain once!

Great experience overall. Can’t come to Cape Town and not hike Table Mountain! And highly recommend doing it with Binny, you won’t regret it!

I met Binny Ridgway in 2013 when she guided our group up Table Mountain. I contacted her again on this trip to Cape Town and joined her for a sunrise hike up Lion's Head. Binny picked me up at our rental apartment at 4:45am, and we started up from the trailhead shortly after 5:00. The hike starts out on a wide road but then narrows to a rocky trail and a few sections with ladders, handholds, and chains (there is an alternate route as well). We reached the top about 10 minutes before the sun rose behind Devil's Peak. Stunning views in all directions. This is quite a popular hike, so I would recommend a weekday rather than the weekend.

I highly recommend Binny as a guide. She is very experienced, a good conversationalist, and just fun to be around. Thank you, Binny!

My mother and I hiked up Table Mountain with Binny and she enhanced our experience from start to finish. She is extremely knowledgeable and told us all about different hiking and outdoor experiences around Cape Town. She also gave us plenty of information about South Africa. We had an amazing experience hiking with her and we highly recommend her. Go on a hike with Binny!

My friend and I had a wonderful start into the day, hiking with Binny up Table Mountain. Binny is not only super sympathetic but also explained so much about the flora and fauna, about the birds and even mountain goats we got to see. We were planning on hiking the India Venstre but since I am afraid of heights Binny suggested another way, where I could enjoy the hike much more. She was so right! If we would do a tour again, we would definitely want to do it with her and I would recommend her to everyone in a second.

Binny is a great hike guide. We took the 12 apostles route via Kasteelspoort and Binny certainly knew a lot about the mountain and the whole of the Cape peninsula. Binny adapted the hike to meet our needs (no narrow ledges!) and scheduled stops to grab a drink, try some of her infamous banana cake or for a photo opportunity (there were many!). I 100% recommend booking with Binny and will do so again if we visit Cape Town in the future.

James and I had such a fabulous time climbing Table Mountain with Binny. It really was a highlight of our trip! Binny has amazing knowledge of the mountain, the routes, the nature etc, and we learnt loads from her during the morning. We felt totally safe, and it took the stress of navigation away so we could just enjoy the hike and the outstanding views. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ridgeway Ramblers and we’ll be back to try a different route soon!

We had a great 2 days hiking tour at the cape of good hope hiking trail with Binny.
Not only hiking with Binny was so much fun but she also knows a lot about all the animals, plants and the surrounding nature. We were so lucky so see all the cape animals and had a wonderful time with Binny!

Thank you, I would always highly recommend you.

Locals are welcome too! You don’t have to be foreign to join one of Binny’s guided hikes. We had a great time walking up a side of Table Mountain we have never seen before. Binny is very friendly and easy going and will also take your fitness level into consideration. I’m sure we will be joining her again soon.

If you go to Cape Town, there are a few musts you have to do.
1)Hiking up the Table Mountain
2)Visiting Waterfront and Robben Island
3)Drinking at the Dubliners and making a fool out of you while dancing the mating dance
Points 2+3 can be done alone, for point 3 I recommend a professional tour guide.There are surely a lot of guides, but I had the luck to find Binny from the Ridgway Ramblers. She lives in Cape for 20 years no and knows the Table Mountain and the surrounding even better then the most locals. If you want to hear interesting facts about the Flora, Fauna and some fairy tales of the mountains - next to climbing - Binny is the perfect choice. She is also making fantastic banana cake (with invisible bananas;) and lovely tea, which keeps you warm on the windy cold top. Thank you Binny for funny and lovely conversations and for bringing me and my smoker lung on the top and back safely!
