The Hawthorne family is uniquely associated with Table Mountain and the natural environment of the Cape Peninsula through having lived and worked within our protected areas. This has founded in us an intimate and unrivalled knowledge of the environment at the Cape of Good Hope. As full-time guides the mountain is well and truly our office – a place we have immense respect for, a deep connection to and which we love. Conservation lies at the heart of all we do and we strive to leave a lasting impression on all who venture with us. Our expertise across the realms of the natural environment comes as a result of an all-consuming passion for fynbos, forests, wildlife, the Cape Mountains and its ecology. A deep knowledge of routes and trails, together with our experience and enthusiasm makes for a fun, memorable excursion! - Private Guided Hikes - Private Nature and Culture Tours - Multi-day Trekking / Slackpacking - Scheduled Group Hikes - Birding Trips - Wildflower Walks & Tours
