Journey overview

Your specially crafted itinerary

Day 1

Arrival

Cape Town Arrival

Your private SAFFA guide will meet you at Cape Town International Airport on arrival and transfer you safely to you Hotel.

Day 2

The City of Cape Town

The Mother City

  • Hike a Hidden Gem

It is our best-kept secret and the summit is our hidden gem! Known to only a few enthusiastic local hikers and hardcore trail runners, this route boasts exclusivity and a lookout point all to yourself that stretches over the Mother City and the Atlantic Ocean with Table Mountain and Lions Head on guard. Earn these views on an easy 2-3 hour hike.

  • Paragliding

Take an exhilarating flight and soar above the Mother City, taking in scenes from Table Mountain, over the city, and through to the Atlantic Seaboard, where you will touch down gently and safely. Or take it out in the Winelands and soar high above the vineyards through the deep cape valleys.

  • Lunch: Local Favourite

Lunch at a local Cape Town favourite offers a relaxed atmosphere where you can enjoy the city’s vibrant culture. With views of Table Mountain or lively streets, it can be a perfect spot to soak in the charm and tasty flavors of the Mother City.

  • Ocean Kayaking

On a private penguin kayaking experience, you’ll enjoy views of mountains and the sea. Taking in the amazing views, you’ll have the unique opportunity to encounter some of our local sea and bird life, including beautiful kelp forests, seals, sunfish, and, of course, our playful African penguins.

  • Promenade Biking

Take in the Mother City, its deep history, diverse culture, vibrant atmosphere, and colorful streets by bicycle that allows you to explore more with your time and observe everything around you as your SAFFA private guide takes you from interesting iconic spots to local hangouts and beautiful vistas.

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

Explore Cape Point Nature Reserve (Cape of Good Hope), the most South West tip of Africa, and its majestic mountains that lead onto secluded beaches. Here, you will find Cape Wildlife roaming the land amongst a rich diversity of Fynbos. Take the time to enjoy an exclusive gourmet picnic or braai amongst it all, served by your Private Guide and Host of Saffa Tours.

  • Lunch: SAFFA Braai

One of our exclusive flagship experiences! A braai is the most traditional South African activity, something we love to do whilst spending time with friends and family. It’s the perfect way to spend an afternoon: unwind and enjoy your company and surroundings. Soak up the fresh air and breathtaking scenery while partaking in one of the most customary cooking experiences in South Africa.

  • Chapman’s Peak Sidecars

Experience Cape Town’s most spectacular roads in a decommissioned military sidecar motorbike! Ride along the Atlantic Coast and Chapman’s Peak Drive with breathtaking scenery and the cool Atlantic ocean breeze whistling past you as you wind around many bends with the roaring sound of a vintage WW2 machine beside you.

  • Ziplining

A zipline canopy tour in the company of soaring eagles, surrounded by breathtaking Cape Fynbos panoramas and mountainscapes. Situated on the doorstep of Cape Town amongst the vineyards of Constantia. This is a thrilling yet scenic experience not to be missed.

Day 4

The Cape Winelands

Franschhoek & Stellenbosch

  • Hot Air Balloon

Get a brand new perspective of Cape Town and admire the sunrise as you glide over the mesmerizing landscape on a hot air balloon ride in the Cape Winelands. Your experience includes pre-flight tea/coffee and an optional post-flight sparkling wine breakfast at a nearby bistro to commemorate your experience.

  • Banhoek E-Biking

Cycling through the vineyards from farm to farm is a unique experience. Our comfortable e-bikes make it possible to not only cover relatively large distances without getting tired but also bring you closer to the environment so you have a fuller experience. We have designed the routes we take on our tour with two things in mind – beauty and taste!

  • Horse Riding with a Picnic Lunch

From the white secluded beaches surrounded by majestic cliff faces and the Atlantic Ocean to the fruitful vineyards surrounded by majestic mountains and historical architecture – horse riding is one of the most natural and exhilarating ways to take in your surroundings with your experienced horse riding guide.

Served next to a pond on the Cavalli Estate, 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 Vineyards or with a breathtaking view. An exclusive SAFFA experience.

  • Wine Drive Safari

The Wine Drive Safari is a unique 3-hour trip on our safari-type vehicle through the estate on the slopes of the Helderberg mountain. This experience allows you to taste our award-winning wines amongst the vineyards of their origin, and you will be expertly guided through all the aspects of what makes this area so biologically diverse and viticulturally unique.

Day 5

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.

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!
