Lauren Medcalf is the owner and Mountain Guide of Mother City Hikers.
“We are nature guides who take great pleasure in following our passion which is sharing our deep connection and love of the Earth with our guests. I’ve been in this business for almost 11 years! Each day I thank my lucky stars I have chosen this profession (even in lockdown) because I am so passionate about all that nature has to offer in terms of learning, healing, being. I absolutely LOVE this land and want to share it with others. If locals knew how many incredible places we have right here, I don’t think they would feel the need to look anywhere else for things they may be searching for.”
They offer short, 2 hour, slow walks all the way to 7+ hour normal hiking walks in all parts of the Western Cape and we have something to suit all people.
Here are of their available Local Tours:
- Any of their regular hikes are about +/-4 hours on Table Mountain/Devil’s Peak for the locals
Private hikes can also be arranged. Max group size: 6 hikers + guide - Join Mother City Hikers on our 2 hour Nature Connection walks in Newlands. Be guided, slow down, settle in and observe the natural world around you. Max 5 people plus guide.
- Join Mother City Hikers for our 2 hour Women’s Nature Connection walks. They have 4 different women’s groups going weekly/bi-weekly. One group for women (fabulous as they are), expectant mothers, moms with babies under 1 year (they are encouraged to bring baby along in the carrier), moms of babies over 1 year (encouraged to leave baby with caretaker so mom can have some time alone).
