"It was a really great experience to spend the morning with Branden on the bush walk.

We learnt so much about different species of the fynbos and other types of forest. Branden is a true nature lover, very knowledgable and was flexible with our needs. He is a great guide overall and it was a unique experience to do this walk on his own property. A+++"

"Thoroughly enjoyed this morning walking guide tour with Branden through the forest.

It was really refreshing to come across a guide who is so passionately immersed and knowledgable in the local area and ecology. Branden had so much knowledge of the plant and local species I didn’t expect to learn so much while taking in the peace and outstanding nature around. Would certainly recommend"

Another happy customer, Sean

"Branden is an excellent guide and knows a lot about the flora in the area.

Our kids loved the tour and took a swim in the river. We were lucky to see two snakes (safely pointed out to us by Branden) which was an extra bonus."
