Western Cape Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

We had a great experience with Beyond Africa Safaris. We booked this experience the night before our excursion and did the VIP package to reduce any hassle with admissions fees and such, we did however pay for the Seal Island tour which was well worth it. We spent a good amount of time at each of the stops and appreciated that our guide, Nathan went above and beyond to tailor our timing to the group’s desires. His expert timing allowed us to arrive to many of the tourist attractions before the larger buses unloaded meaning we maximized our time and minimized the time spent in crowds. We had a total of five people in our tour and it was an amazing day overall. This was such a meaningful experience for my daughter (22) and I, which allowed us to truly connect with Cape Town and our guide.For lunch we had the option to eat at the Lighthouse Rest Stop or continue onto Simon Town and eat lunch there which was the much better choice for our group. We ended up at Bertha’s where we had some delicious fish and chips and salad. Overall a 10/10 day thanks to Nathan and the rest of the BAS team.

I enjoyed my experience so much & would highly recommend this!

We had a great day trip around the cape, loved the national park and the penguins and the views were amazing. Ray was a fabulous guide and gave us lots of really interesting information.

Jasper and his team made sure we had a really nice time! The landscapes are gorgeous (especially when hiking towards the Cape of Good Hope) and the explanations along the way suite interesting. Would absolutely recommend!

the experience was great. the drive was both interesting and entretaining. the times were perfect, i had time to eat and visit the places.

Great day visiting Stellenbosch wineries. Gerhard was our guide, we couldn’t have asked for a more knowledgeable or friendly guide, he certainly made the day good fun and we enjoyed his company. Felt like old friends by the end of the day. Would highly recommend

The experience was amazing and we had fun. My only concern was the time management wasn’t so good as we wanted to atleast visit 4 wine estates we end up with 3 because the time wasn’t enough for an entire day

We had a really great time at Africanyon River Adventure! We went as a group of 12 🇳🇱 and had a lot of fun together. It was a great mix of adventure, some adrenaline, and plenty of laughs along the way.Our guides, King Julian and Black Rhino, were both really funny, friendly, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and had a good time. They definitely added to the experience!Overall, it was a really fun activity and a great experience to do with a group. We would definitely recommend it! 🌊😄

Sebastian is an extremely knowledgeable guide and has many different aspects to add to the walking tour that are invaluable if you really want to learn about South African history. A real pleasure, even in the rain!

A really great excursion. We jumped from rocks into the water several times; the ziplining and rappelling were absolute highlights! The guides were super nice and you felt safe the entire trip, as they felt like they knew every stone on the tour.

Great tour! Highly recommend! Got to see so much of the wine country and taste so many great and local wines.

Jaffred (hope I’m spelling his name correctly) was fantastic. So kind, knowledgeable and allowed us to have the best day possible in the western cape. You will learn so much and see all of the “must-dos”

Amazing day with our guide Gift who was amazing

The whole experience was great. Tebzz and Puna made all the difference. The kids has great fun and so did the adults.

Incredible experience! Tebzzzz and Punnnna were amazing guides, so much enthusiasm and made the trip so much fun!

Samantha was a great guide, she shared lots of interesting info about the ostriches. Wonderful experience especially in winter when it is quiet.
