Wonderful day out
We have had an amazing day out with our tour guide Mena. He arrived on time to pick us up, and with his seamless arrangement, we had our boat trip to the seal island and the boulder island with minimal waiting and queuing. His introduction of different landmarks was both informative and interesting. His driving throughout the trip was smooth and professional, we felt that we were in safe hands all day. Cheerful and helpful throughout the day. We would highly recommend Mena and this tour company.

This was an excellent tour. Sylvie, our guide, was engaging, funny and shared interesting facts. Everything from pickup to drop-off went smoothly. I would not hesitate to do another tour with Beyond Africa.

We had an amazing time...
We had an amazing time touring the Cape with Clement! There was so much to see and do. Clement gave us the perfect amount of time to check out each location, while also keeping us on schedule. This package was a great sampler of the Cape, showing us awesome views, teaching us the local history, and letting us experience the Cape of Hope, Boulder Beach, and many of the seaside towns.
