We absolutely loved our full-day...

28-Dec-2023

We absolutely loved our full-day private tour with Ruben. Worth every penny to be able to go at our own pace with a local expert. It truly felt we were always just ahead of any crowds as Ruben timed everything so perfectly. He was knowledgeable, friendly and enjoyable to spend the day with. Bonus: he took pictures for us throughout the day. We greatly appreciated the lunch booking he made at Two Oceans overlooking the water near Cape of Good Hope. Highly recommend this tour.

Our Private Group Tour to...

20-Jul-2024

Our Private Group Tour to Cape of Good Hope and Boulders Penguins Colony with Beyond Africa Safaris was wonderful! Ruben was the BEST guide. It was going to be a very rainy day and Ruben adjusted our itinerary to maximize the sunshine and dodge the rain, and still get us to see some of the most beautiful spots, great photo opps, The Cape - and the penguins! I would go on this tour again - and bring more friends!

11-Jun-2024

Did the Table Mountain, Boulder’s Beach penguins and Cape Point day trip with David yesterday and it was a fantastic day. We covered so much in one day. A great option for those who want to make the most of a short time in Cape Town. We were lucky enough to see some wildlife too, which was an added bonus to an already terrific day.

10-Jan-2024

Fabulous day out with these guys. Our guide and assistant went beyond their hours to show us everything as promised. Really safe, nice vehicle and a great experience. We opted to take the trail from the Cape to Cape Point which was definitely worth the effort, just wear sensible footwear for walking and definitely do the trip to seal island.

We had a great day...

23-Dec-2024

We had a great day exploring the area surrounding Cape Town. The guide Mr Wilson was very informative and extremely accommodating. He went above and beyond ensuring that our day went smoothly. It could have perhaps been made clearer that the entrance tickets to the areas visited needed to be purchased ontop and in advance of the price. The day was fantastic...we thoroughly enjoyed it and it gave us a great overview of Cape Town and its surroundings! 👍

Tour with Beyond Africa Safaris...

27-Nov-2024

Tour with Beyond Africa Safaris - Tale (guide) and Ishmael (driver) began promptly at designated time. Tale was energetic and informative, providing significant insight into the history of Cape Town and South Africa. We maintained the timeline and covered every stop and drive by listed on the Viator page. NOTE: Entrance fees to Seal Island, Table Mountain Funicular and Boulders beach are not included. Tale had a group ticket for Boulders Beach and stated there were technical problems for a credit card payment and directed me to the green ATM at Boulders Beach to get cash for reimbursement to him. Unfortunately there were two men who were trying to scam and take money while I was trying to withdraw funds. Although this was disappointing and made me lose trust, I made the best of it and caution you to be aware of your surroundings and take your guide or someone you trust with you when withdrawing currency at ATMS. Thank you Ishmael for getting us around safely and thank you to Tale for all your insight about the area.
