The City of Cape Town

The Mother City

The southern tip of the African continent is the meeting place of two mighty and bountiful oceans, the Indian and the Atlantic. The Two Oceans Aquarium, in the V&A Waterfront, is ideally positioned to showcase the incredible diversity of marine life found off the southern tip of Africa.

  • Lunch at a Local Favourite

  • Kirstenbosch Gardens

Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens – one of the great botanic gardens in the world. Few gardens can match the sheer grandeur of the setting of Kirstenbosch against the eastern slopes of Cape Town’s Table Mountain. Explore the beauty with your private SAFFA guide as you are led through the enchanted gardens.

  • Table Mountain Cable Car

Take the scenic, exhilarating rotating cable car up to the summit of the 7th Natural Wonder of the world – Table Mountain.

Day 3

The Cape Peninsula

The Deep South

  • Ocean Safari

Embark on a “Marine Big 5” experience where we go on a search to find whales, dolphins, seals, sharks, African penguins and our incredible seabirds (albatross, petrels, skuas, etc.) while you admire the breathtaking, unspoiled scenery of the Cape from the sea.

  • Cape Point Nature Reserve

  • Lunch: SAFFA Gourmet Picnic

Served at one of our secluded locations, your SAFFA private guide will provide a gourmet picnic with a wholesome sandwich or wrap, an array of delectable eats, and a range of drinks of interest. Enjoy this amongst the Cape Wildlife, on a secluded beach, or with a breathtaking view. An exclusive SAFFA experience at one of our favourite secret locations.

  • Nature Walk in Cape Point

Meander slowly through the rich fauna and flora that the Cape has to offer. Taking the gentler routes that are less strenuous gives us the perfect opportunity to put more emphasis on your surroundings and to teach you about our beautiful Cape Floral Kingdom and all its species while taking everything in.

 

Day 4

West Coast

The West Coast

  • West Coast National Park

West Coast National Park in South Africa is a coastal sanctuary located about 120 kilometers north of Cape Town, offering a blend of striking landscapes and diverse ecosystems.

The park is famed for its vibrant wildflower displays, especially during the spring months of August and September, when the fields burst into a kaleidoscope of colors. White, purple, pink, red, and flaming oranges create a tapestry of color to create an annual phenomenon worth seeing amongst the endemic Cape Wildlife that roams the colorful carpets.

The Langebaan Lagoon, with its turquoise waters, is a central feature of the park, providing a serene backdrop for birdwatching, where you can spot an array of bird species, including flamingos and pelicans. The park’s beaches, such as Kraalbaai, are perfect for leisurely strolls and enjoying the unspoiled natural beauty.

In addition to its flora and fauna, the park has historical significance, with ancient fossils and stone-age artifacts scattered throughout the area. The Postberg section, open only during the flower season, is a must-see for its particularly dense and colorful flower carpets.

The park’s tranquility, coupled with its natural splendor, makes it a perfect escape for nature lovers, offering hiking trails, picnic spots, and panoramic views that capture the essence of South Africa’s West Coast.

An absolutely incredible trip

On our trip, Josh and Saffa Tours put together an amazing itinerary, based on what we were into, and they provided us with an absolutely incredible trip. My wife and I love to travel, and have worked with many groups such as Saffa Tours; this trip was, by far, our favorite tour, and Saffa was the best guide group we’ve ever used.

Cape Town at its best, and from all the best angles!

We cannot thank Saffa Tours enough for making our precious time in the Cape the best it could be. I cannot recommend Josh and his company Saffa Tours enough, as they made our time in South Africa in the Cape absolutely amazing and we were looking forward to the holiday because of the great preparation.

Epic private tour guide

We thoroughly enjoyed our time with him. Well worth the cost visiting in the Cape area where there are so many things to do. Lightyears ahead of what a larger tour group would be able to put together. From small details to adjusting the daily itinerary on the fly.

We highly recommend Saffa Tours

Never have I encountered such organization, such fire for exploration - to show and to teach, and such willingness to adapt the bespoke tours and plans offered at any moment. We felt understood, we felt appreciated, and we felt that our best interests were always put first.

Amazing experience with Saffa tours

Amazing tour company. Josh helped plan our itinerary around the activities we wanted to do. Due to weather conditions a couple of the activities were cancelled but there were alternatives ready straight away. Rich was our guide and he was a joy to be around. Highly recommend!
