Lion's Head

Jean is a very patient man! I'm scared of heights and had lost all confidence in myself but he got me up and down the Lion's Head by distraction I think!! A true professional.

I haven't had as much fun on a hike as I have with Jean. He took us to see awesome views and we got lots of cool pics. I highly recommend Jean and Mountain Goat Guides to anyone wanting to explore more of Cape Town's awesome trails.

Romulo Nascimento
Jean was very nice and friendly. He made sure to highlight all the safety instructions and relevant information about the hiking. I appreciate his flexibility with the departure time as most tour guides have only sunrise/sunset departures.

Lion's Head

When I found myself in Cape Town, I immediately decided I would climb Lion Mountain. Our guide is a very cool guy! While we were climbing to the top he joked, and when we descended we sang songs. He helped me a lot — my best recommendations.

Lion's Head
Jeff Offner
Jean was the absolute best guide. We had great conversation and his knowledge of South Africa is amazing. We made it up Lion's Head very fast! I would book Jean over and over again — if I make it back to Cape Town he will be the first person I book with.

Awesome experience up Lion's Head with The Mountain Goat. Showed me some basic B Line. We even went up a second time doing a time trial and I did a personal best. Thanks Jean.
