Hiked Table Mountain this week via Platteklip Gorge with Binny/Ridgeway Ramblers. Had great fun despite it being cold and sporadically showery day. She was experienced and explained many little things about the area and surroundings on our hike up from flora and fauna to age of the mountain etc. The only shame was the cloudy weather that was out of...

Binny Ridgway led a group of 9 of us up Table Mountain in late May. She is warm, energetic, and very knowledgeable. She was very patient and dealt effectively with a group that got rather spread out on the trail. At the top, she helped three of us connect with Abseil Africa and then led us back to the top... More

Binny guided us through Platteklip Gorge and Nursery Ravine. These hikes were the absolute highlights of our brief holiday in Cape Town. The spectacular views were only enhanced by Binny's thorough knowledge of the flora/fauna, obvious enthusiasm, and respect for Table Mountain. She was very quick to gauge our ability on the first hike, and tailored the second hike accordingly.... More

I hiked Cape Point, Lion's Head and Table Mountain with Binny - she is amazing. She has a wonderful warm personality, the ability to judge your pace and ability, and an absolute passion for what she does. By the second day it was like hiking with a friend - albeit one who knows everything there is to know. And she... More

Hiking Table Mountain was one of my wife's "lifetime achievement" goals - one that she has held since she was a little girl living in Jo-berg and making many trips to Cape Town and around South Africa. Having not been back to South Africa in 18 years, she was intent on making a Table Mountain climb part of her trip.... More

Binny is an excellent guide, very knowledgeable and personable. She picked us up from our hotel and tailored the hike to the experience we were looking for. She carried extra water/food supplies in case we were dumb enough to not bring enough of our own (yes, many make that mistake!). She knew how to keep a good pace and spent... More

Had a lovely tour guide, I wouldn't recommend walking a route like we did alone plus also we would have never found such a beautiful route. We saw all the different views from all areas of table mountain including many of the bays, cape point, the peninsular and of course the city bowl. In all a wonderful trip and I... More

Chose Binny because of her excellent TA-reviews and was not disappointed. First some e-mail communication where she responded very quickly and helped me choose my hikes. I ended up with full day Skeleton Gorge to Maclears Beacon, descend Platteklip Gorge and a half day Lion's head. Binny picked me up at my B&B exactly on time. She also advised by... More

My husband and I had climbed Table Mountain some 10 years ago and wanted to give it another try. Our hotel, the Cape Grace, highly recommended Binny as the only guide to use if you're going to hike the mountain. We had to take the steep, shortest trail up the front of the mountain due to time constraints. She was... More
