Hi, I'm Eric, a Hiking Adventure Guide based in the Western Cape with a passion for South Africa's most breath-taking trails.I specialize in leading multi-day wilderness backpacking expeditions across the dramatic peaks of the Drakensberg, the rugged terrain of the Cederberg, and the ancient landscapes of the Magaliesberg.With extensive experience navigating complex mountain routes, including iconic treks like Tugela Falls via Sentinel Peak, I handle all the meticulous planning and risk management so you don't have to.What makes me a great guide is my focus on creating a fun, laid-back atmosphere on the trail.I believe a successful hike isn't about rushing to the finish line; it’s about hiking at a comfortable pace, taking in the incredible views, and sharing good laughs along the way.Out on the mountain, I love elevating the standard trail experience.Whether it's bringing along perfectly packed biltong and hard aged cheeses or sharing a bit of original outdoor poetry by the campfire, I aim to make every trip memorable and immersive.When I'm not in the mountains, you can find me organizing events for the SAHPA community, researching historical military artifacts, or tackling hands-on restoration projects at home.If you are looking for a well-organized, stress-free mountain adventure with great company and relaxed vibes, I'd love to show you the trails!
