Set off from Cape Town with your private driver/guide and tick off lots of Cape Peninsula highlights such as the Bo-Kaap area, Camps Bay, Hout Bay Beach, Chapman's Peak, Boulders Beach Penguin Colony, and Cape Hope. During the tour, the driver provides commentary to help you understand more about the sights you pass.
  • Tick off multiple Cape Peninsula highlights in a day

We had a great day with Ibby!! He promised us an epic, next level experience, and he did not disappoint. We loved that we were able to see the things we wanted to, but that Ibby threw in skme ghkngs we didn't even know we wanted most! We saw the penguins, went to Cape Point, had an impromptu mini-safari and drove up to Chapman's Peak. After a delicious lunch at Cape Point Winery, we went to Signal Hill for 360° views of Cape Town before ending up at Sea Point to watch rge sunset. We even ended the evening with an epic game of mini- golf with Ibby!! We had such a great time seeing all the sights and learning a ton about South African history and pop culture! I would HIGHLY recommended this tour to anyone lookiing to have their own unique experience with an accommodating guide whose aim is to help you have the best time ever!!

Incredible trip during high season!
Chase_R, Feb 2024
We had an incredible time Ray during our trip around the Cape. He was able to help us navigate a heavy tourist season by starting at the Penguins colony and working our way back to Cape Town - it seriously probably saved us over 1.5 hours sitting in toll gates. He was great about adapting the tour - including taking us to a winery during lunch as it was close by. We would 15/10 recommend this tour and Ray as your guide.

Dear Valued Client We thank you for sharing your review. Customer satisfaction is a priority here at Kasi Africa Safari & Tours and we are glad that Ray has done just that. We look forward to seeing you on another trip. Safe travels Regards Kasi Africa Safari & Tours
great agency, driver and tour
harvey_H, Jan 2024
We were fortunate to get a very fine guide in Roland. Also the assigned agency was very accomadating.and ailored the experience to our needs. We spent a lot of time with the penguins, less so in the hikes around the park and saw a lot of baboons.

That was my highlight
MissWakeup, Jan 2020
At first, I was unsure about booking a private guide for this tour, but I'm so glad I did it. Arthur made us feel so welcome and it was easy to chat. He went the extra mile to make the day special for us. The Cape Point National Park is spectacular, we even saw zebras roaming around. We stopped at an ostrich farm as well on our way there. But my real highlight were the penguins. We did the boardwalk on Fox Beach, but went to the actual Boulders Beach as well. This is where you can swim and walk right next to the penguins. Just amazing. Bring your swimsuit, though. I really lost track of time, there, but Arthur stayed very friendly and kind. Dinner was in a fish restaurant, very nice. I will never forget this day. After realizing that we tipped him poorly, I reached out to his company to right my wrong, and they were very nice as well.
Our guide was excellent!
Patricia_L, Nov 2019
This was our first time to South Africa and we thought that getting a private guide for our first day would help us with landmarks and provide us with education surrounding the culture. We had a wonderful experience with our awesome guide, Seraphin! It was raining in the morning so he re-routed everything so that we could see the best views of all in the afternoon when it was sunny. He took us through Cape Town, through the townships (and stopped whenever we wanted to), Cape of Good Hope, Table Mt. reserve, Boulder beach and penguins, Chapman's Peak, etc. everywhere we had wanted to go and beyond all the time explaining, laughing and enjoying as much as we were. Hard to believe that someone could keep two very active grandmothers and a 20 yr. old granddaughter engaged so well! Seraphin was on time with a very clean and new mercedes and the tour lasted about 2 hrs over what was expected as he wanted to ensure that we saw all. Thank you to Seraphin for introducing us to beautiful South Africa! We are already missing it! Will definitely book through this company next time
Enjoyable day out
W1468WMsarahd, Nov 2019
Picked up promptly from hotel covered a lot of attractions should of asked to go to bo kapp and camps bay and signal hill as we didn’t get chance to see them nice to do a private tour
Excellent day despite the bad weather
rustkate1, Oct 2019
I booked a private full day tour for my husband and I while honeymooning in Cape Town. We had a great timing seeing all the beautiful sights around the cape peninsula and got to see many animals including penguins (my favorite!), baboons, antelope, seals, ostriches, and these kind of ground hog looking things. We enjoyed spending the day with our tour guide who kept the day interesting by teaching us a lot about what we were seeing and the local history and culture. South Africa was playing in the rugby World Cup semi finals and we had reached out to the tour beforehand and asked if we could stop and see part of the game at a local bar - it ended up being one of the best parts of the day! Thanks for the wonderful experience, I highly recommend!
Wonderful tour day
raylight2019, Oct 2019
Seraphin was a wonderful guide. Because the private tour was just for myself, Seraphin customized the day for me. He even managed to stop at a few extra stops not listed on the itinerary for photograph along the way. Cape Town is such a beautiful city and not to missed as a bucket list place. I will definitely be back a few more times to this friendly, memorable city. The landscape and scenery are just spectacular. Thanks Sepharin for taking great care of this first time visitor to your city.
Seraphin made the tour!
Russ_V, Aug 2019
Given we had already done this private tour when we last visited the area, we could have been very picky clients but Seraphin was an absolutely amazing guide. The wealth of knowledge he had was spectacular and he took no shortcuts with the tour. He actually took us to places we didn't see the first time and shared soooo much information with us about everything from history to culture to info about the nature. We don’t know if he’s a regular guide through this offer but we can’t recommend him highly enough. Most guides are reasonably good about sharing info but he knew all the stories about just about everything and also gave us details throughout our drive out of Cape Town about the history of how it came about. You could tell he was working hard to please us and he succeeded! I only wish we took a photo with him before the end of the day so we could remember how great he was!
Customized Perfectly
Francine_C, Aug 2019
We didn't have 8-9 hours for a full day tour and had a specific list of places we wanted to go. This tour was perfect for that! Nathan picked us up at our accommodations early in the morning and we headed for our Cape tour. He stopped when we asked and at spots he thought were must sees. He had interesting facts and information to share throughout the tour. We fit in everything we wanted including a lunch stop at a great place recommended by Nathan. We planned a hike afterwards and Nathan dropped us off right at the trail. We couldn't have asked for a better private customized tour!
Next Level Experience!!!

Splendida escursione
ambra_m, Mar 2024
Fantastico tour privato in 5 con la nostra guida Morne Hill che ci ha prelevati in albergo e portati prima a vedere i pinguini a Boulders Beach, al capo di buona speranza e tornando a Cape Town siamo passati per la splendida strada di Chapman’s Peak. Bellissimo tour veramente super consigliato e soprattutto comodissimo da prenotare.
