5.00I had an unforgettable experience with Safari Private Tours! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized. The guide was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about wildlife, making the entire trip both exciting and educational. The vehicle was comfortable, and we felt completely safe the whole time. We got to see the Big Five and so many other animals up close—it was like something out of a documentary. The stops were well-planned, with breathtaking views, and the hospitality was top-notch. If you're looking for a personalized, professional, and truly memorable safari experience, I highly recommend Safari Private Tours. It was worth every moment!
The experience was so amazing enjoyed watching the Wales and it was something new for me and I hope to be back again

5.00What a phenomenal trip! Our driver, Callixte was brilliant - helpful, knowledgeable and personable. The whale watching experience was once in a lifetime and the guides on the boat made it extra special with their knowledge of the whales and explanations of the conservation work which has been and is being undertaken to protect them. The wine tour was also magnificent at the Spier Wine Estate in Stellenbosch. Highly recommend for a day trip while in Cape Town.
Great staff!
