Questions
Day tour questions.
How much does a private day tour from Cape Town cost?+
A chauffeur for a half day starts from R2,500, and a full day from R3,950. Longer journeys, such as Sanbona or multi-day Garden Route trips, are quoted per trip. Park and reserve fees are separate.
Do you arrange the safari game drive?+
We provide the chauffeured transfer to and from the reserve, and our concierge can help arrange your game drive booking with the reserve.
Can I combine several places in one day?+
Yes. The day is yours, so we can combine, for example, Cape Point with the Peninsula coastline, or Hermanus with a Winelands lunch.
Do you do multi-day trips?+
Yes. We run longer itineraries along the Garden Route (Knysna, George, Plettenberg Bay) and further afield. Tell us your dates in advance and we'll plan it.
When is the best time for whale watching in Hermanus?+
Southern right whales visit the Hermanus coast seasonally, typically in the winter and spring months. Ask us when you book and we'll advise on timing.
