Empowering your mountain adventures

Rodney Long

With a passion for adventure, nature and the outdoors, Rod is no stranger to the greater wilderness areas within South Africa, and some bordering countries, with a special love for the Drakensberg and Cederberg specifically. Based in Cape Town with the Table Mountain National Park as his backyard, he knows these trails like the back of his hand and spends most weekends exploring their diversity.

With years of hiking experience translating into expert knowledge Rod is both approachable and professional. His attention to detail and meticulous planning makes sure that you are in the safest of hands while creating an inviting atmosphere for hikers of all levels. Unpretentious, and always willing to go the extra mile, Rod loves to share the outdoors with others and his enthusiasm for nature and exploration is infectious.

Passionate about the environment Rod advocates for a leave no trace approach and is always sharing ways in which to minimise ones impact on the environment. Approachable and professional he is committed to creating meaningful and memorable experiences that will leave a lasting impression on every hiker he guides.
