Everyone who our local specialist Nokuthula put us in contact with was amazing. Our guide to hike up Table Mountain, Fatima was very knowledgeable and helpful as well. Everything about the trip was very planned out and outlined in the details. We were in constant communication with everyone if anything came up or if we had any questions during our stay. Couldn’t recommend them any higher.

Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We’re thrilled that you enjoyed your trip and had such positive experiences with everyone that connected you with. It’s fantastic to hear that Fatima made your Table Mountain hike memorable and that you felt supported throughout your journey.
Your kind words mean the world to us, and we’re so grateful for the opportunity to help create such special memories.
Wishing you many more adventures ahead!

Thank you for sharing your feedback. I’m truly sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations and for the challenges you encountered during your trip. I deeply regret the disappointments you faced, as this is far from the level of service we strive to provide.
Your concerns are being taken seriously, and I will review each issue to ensure appropriate action is taken. I will also follow up with you regarding your refund request.
Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

We enjoyed all the highlights of Cape Town and the sorrounding areas.
Starting with a bus-tour through the city and a tour to Cape Point during which we also visited a Penguin Colony.
We then spent time in Hermanus and did an incredible shark cage experience.
After this we drove to Stellenbosch and enjoyed South African wine with the Wine Tram.
Our vacation then endes with a safari in a private game reserve and some last day to relax in Cape... Read more
