Andreas is very informative and passionate about nature, his added value of the astronomy and plants and the surrounding mountains adds alot of value to the hike and I would recommend him for any group. We had lots of fun on our hike and staying over for 3 days in the mountains is one that I will never forget.

Andreas has now led three 'fynbos walks' for the members of the Winelands chapter of Mensa South Africa - one every year for the past three years - and has always left our participants asking when we will be engaging with him again.  This year was no exception - his knowledge of the flora, fauna, ecology and geology of the Western Cape is unparallelled, and his easy, relaxed presentation style and delightful sense of humour was enjoyed by all.This year we also took a few juniors (under 10 years) with us, and his patience with them was remarkable - he engaged at their level without detracting from the nature of the walk for the adults.Andreas undertakes regular excursions for both experienced and beginner hikers - this particular walk we did, the Klipspringer Trail in the Steenbras Nature Reserve, is highly suitable for even unfit persons - it's a 5km predominantly downhill amble, and Andreas takes care to adjust the pace to the slowest, most unfit member (me) of any group.I would not hesitate to recommend his guiding services to anyone visiting the Western Cape - or even those that reside in the area and are looking for something different to do.

We very much enjoyed the very informative walk in the Harold Porter Gardens. Andreas is very friendly, very attentive to the group. He is also incredibly knowledgeable about everything in the nature. Geology, flowers, birds. A great guide and a very pleasant person.  Excellent.

We did a few outings with Andreas - Kogelberg, Mont Rochelle, Daniëlshoogte and more. He is probably the best tour guide there is  It doesn’t matter whether it is older people or families His personality, knowledge and the way he handles people, is truly magnificent

Rhenish girls' high school has an annual outing for their grade 10 Life Sciences learners. The learners study the biotic factors of the fynbos at Helderberg Nature Reserve. Andreas Groenewald has guided us for many years. He is most knowledgable and relates well with the learners. We have found him very flexible and was able to adjust the content as our needs changed. I can highly recommend Andreas as a guide.
