Full day cape coast private car

5.00This is a must day trip that will enlighten you on the southern coast filled with magnificent fews, wildlife, and African history. Talent is your man to take you through this memorable day. He speaks of the history from a local perspective and fills you with insight that only one that has lived and experienced can. No rush, it's your day, but monitors your time to do what you desire. Talent had a small Mercedes SUV that was very comfortable. After the short boat trip to seal island Talent took us to a local fish and chips restaurant on the docks where we had some delicious calamari, prawns and fish. It was so much fun learning about his home and he was interested in learning about our lives in the US. We were in Cape Town for only a couple of days so having a private guide and car made it possible to see the highlights of the cape coast possible. The experience was worth every penny. Do not hesitate to book this tour thru Beyond Africa--you won't regret it.
