My parents and I were absolutely amazed by this incredible tour. From the very beginning everything was perfectly organized, including the comfortable pick-up and drop-off directly at our house. Our tour guide Ian was outstanding – extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about wildlife, which made the experience even more special. During the game drive we saw an impressive variety of animals in their natural habitat. It was an unforgettable experience and a highlight of our trip that we would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area. Thanks again Ian.

We enjoyed this excursion from start to finish. We are very seasoned travelers but were always entertained during the safari, olive tasting, beer garden, and sweet shop. Ian is the best guide, both knowledgeable and fun to spend the day with. He made a special point to make a stop in the city for us on the way to the airport also. Thanks for a great day Ian.

We had the pleasure of touring with Ian on the final day of our South African holiday. I contacted him early in our planning process and he was extremely prompt in his responses. We decided to do the west coast tour and visited the game reserve as well as on olive farm with tastings. We enjoyed the game reserve and did see lots of animals- the rhinos are apparently not always easy to find on the drive but were up close and "posed" for photos during our drive. We have done wine tastings in the past but never olive tastings and that was different and really enjoyable. We never knew that there were so many olive products available, sweet and savory as well as oils, and some had to come home with us :). Ian was a fount of information and we enjoyed talking with him about so many different subjects. He recommended a great lunch place with an amazing view of the coast and Table Mountain and then ended the day with dropping us off at the airport. We highly recommend Ian of African Moon Adventures

Ian is a great guide and driver. This was a fun trip to a game reserve close to Cape Town followed by an amazing olive tasting and finished in the Darling brewery beer garden. 100%!

We went with another couple on the Wildlife, Beer, and Olive Tour with Ian. He picked us up at the cruise port on the last day of our cruise which ended in South Africa. His vehicle was roomy and comfortable enough for all of us fit along with our luggage. He took us to a beautiful beach just outside of Cape Town—a great photo-op with fabulous views of the beach and Table Mountain. Next, we went to Buffelsfontein Game and Nature Reserve. It was our first experience seeing the wild animals in South Africa and we even got to see a black leopard! We then went to Darling Olives for tastings of delicious olive oils, olive paste, and some terrific South African wines. We’d never done an olive oil tasting before, and it was a very pleasant experience. After that, we went to Darling Brew for craft brew tastings and lunch. Both were wonderful. We visited with Ian at lunch, as well as along the way. He’s an interesting and knowledgeable tour guide, easy to talk to. We ended our tour at Darling Sweets for a taste of homemade toffee. They were so good that we bought some for there trip home. Ian was kind enough to drop us at our hotel, and our friends at the airport which saved each of us an Uber ride. It was a great day! If you’re looking for a tour with a variety of fun places to go, go with Ian—highly recommended!

Everything on this trip went like clockwork with pick up to finish.Driver come owner Ian was a great host and a guy you would go to the pub with.Safari was in a game reserve where the animals were taken care of and great to see them running free.Giraffes,wildebeest.antelope,zebra,ostrich Rhino and many others could be seen up close.The 2 Rhino were absolute stunning and we watched them mowing the grass from about 3 metres away.The olive presentation was very unusual in the way that opened our eyes to jams,marmalades and oils that you didn’t realise existed.Brewery was in a nice spot where we sampled the breweries own beers and luckily the weather was nice to sit out and enjoy.All in all a great trip and probably the best one we will do in Cape Town and wish Ian all the best with this venture.

Your tour guide Ian is the most friendly and professional tour guide you will ever have. The tour was great and definitely well thought. I highly recommend it and if you are anxious about price or how it’s going to be just forget about it because it will be a highlight of your trip.
