I feel really fortunate to have had Gillan and her husband Ralph as my guides on the Whale Trail. Their thoughtfulness and knowledge and passion made it a really special experience. Gillian's also an amazing chef -- I still can't believe we ate so well considering that she only had the most basic kitchen supplies at her disposal! She really goes out of her way to make sure everyone is having a good time and well taken care of.

I'd happily go on another hike with Gillian in the future; I hope I do!

Gillian and Ralph were our guides on the Whale Trail last week and I found them to be first class.

They had a good knowledge of birds,flowers etc and Gills cooking over the 5 days was really outstanding .Excellent meals for each supper and great packed lunches as well as breakfasts.Nothing was too much trouble for her at all despite me making more work by being a vegetarian.

Gill and Ralph were superb guides in the Hermanus Fernkloof Nature Reserve, and their knowledge of the awesome flora and fauna in this area of the Western Cape was such a delight. My wife and are are avid birders in Southern Africa and to get a "lifer" on one of our our short hikes was really special, Victorin's Warbler. They would be our choice as gudes for the world renowned "Whale Trail" in the Western Cape, without doubt.
