Gillian Louw
Gilly and Ralph were our guides on the stunningly beautiful 5 day Whale Trail in de Hoop Nature Reserve we finished last week in late Nov 2016. They are both passionate, interesting and very knowledgeable about the huge range of plant, insect, bird and animal life in the differing trail habitats...and genuinely enjoy sharing their knowledge and enthusiasm with others. They are also kind, thoughtful and very good company with a sense of humour - a real bonus on any trail. Gilly is an outstanding cook and went to great lengths to look after us with delicious and plentiful food you would not think possible to provide on a 5 day trek. The whole trail experience was a joy and we would happily return for more with Gilly and Ralph as our guides.
Ralph Louw
Ralph and Gilly Louw were our wonderful guides on the Whale Trail in late November 2016 - which proved to be a truly special and memorable experience. Ralph has considerable knowledge of the animal, plant and bird wildlife, and is a mine of information on several other areas of interest on the trail e.g. the local geology, the formation of the sand dunes and the stars. He and Gilly are highly organised, kind and thoughtful people with a sense of humour - they see to all the chores of slack-packing so you don't have to! Ralph is good company and excels in helping others see the best the trail has to offer...he is also patient and supportive. We hope to be back to explore other parts of the Cape with him and Gilly.
