It is our best-kept secret, and the summit is our hidden gem! Known to only a few enthusiastic local hikers and hardcore trail runners, this route boasts exclusivity and a lookout point all to yourself that stretches over the Mother City and the Atlantic Ocean with Table Mountain and Lions Head on guard. Earn these views on an easy 2-3 hour hike.
Take an exhilarating flight and soar above the Mother City, taking in scenes from Table Mountain, over the city, and through to the Atlantic Seaboard, where you will touch down gently and safely. Or take it out in the Winelands and soar high above the vineyards through the deep Cape valleys.
A vibrant and welcoming experience where you can enjoy the city’s laid-back atmosphere and diverse cultural influences. Whether tucked away in a bustling market, a cosy neighbourhood spot, or a seaside café, the meal often comes with warm hospitality and a chance to soak in stunning views or street life.
On a private penguin kayaking experience, you’ll enjoy views of mountains and the sea. Taking in the amazing views, you’ll have the unique opportunity to encounter some of our local sea and bird life, including beautiful kelp forests, seals, sunfish, and, of course, our playful African penguins.
Take in the Mother City, its deep history, diverse culture, vibrant atmosphere, and colourful streets by bicycle, which allows you to explore more with your time and observe everything around you as your SAFFA private guide takes you from interesting, iconic spots to local hangouts and beautiful vistas.

Embark on a "Marine Big 5" experience, hoping to find whales, dolphins, seals, sharks, and African penguins on each trip. Also, expect to spot our incredible seabirds (albatross, petrels, skuas, etc) while you admire the breathtaking, unspoiled scenery.
Experience Cape Town's most spectacular roads in a decommissioned military sidecar motorbike! Ride along the Atlantic Coast and Chapman's Peak Drive with breathtaking scenery and the cool Atlantic ocean breeze whistling past you as you wind around many bends with the roaring sound of a vintage WW2 machine beside you.
Explore Cape Point Nature Reserve (Cape of Good Hope), the most south-western tip of Africa, and its majestic mountains that lead onto secluded beaches. Here, you will find Cape Wildlife roaming the land amongst a rich diversity of Fynbos. Take the time to enjoy an exclusive gourmet picnic or braai amongst it all, served by your Private Guide and Host of Saffa Tours.
One of our exclusive flagship experiences! A braai is the most traditional South African activity, something we love to do whilst spending time with friends and family. It's the perfect way to spend an afternoon: unwind and enjoy your company and surroundings. Soak up the fresh air and breathtaking scenery while partaking in one of South Africa's most traditional cooking experiences.
A zipline canopy tour in the company of soaring eagles, surrounded by breathtaking Cape Fynbos panoramas and mountainscapes. Situated on the doorstep of Cape Town amongst the vineyards of Constantia. This is a thrilling yet scenic experience not to be missed.

Get a brand new perspective of Cape Town and admire the sunrise as you glide over the mesmerising landscape on a hot air balloon ride in the Cape Winelands. Your experience includes pre-flight tea/coffee and an optional post-flight sparkling wine breakfast at a nearby bistro to commemorate your experience.
Cycling through the vineyards from farm to farm is a unique experience. Our comfortable e-bikes make it possible not only to cover relatively large distances without getting tired but also to bring you closer to the environment, so you have a fuller experience. We have designed the routes we take on our tour with two things in mind – beauty and taste!
From the white secluded beaches surrounded by majestic cliff faces and the Atlantic Ocean to the fruitful vineyards surrounded by majestic mountains and historical architecture - horse riding is one of the most natural and exhilarating ways to take in your surroundings with your experienced horse riding guide.
Enjoy an array of delectable eats from homemade and locally sourced bread, cheeses, meats, crackers, olives, pickles, and more while you sip on a silky glass of wine amongst some of South Africa's finest vineyards and a jaw-dropping setting.
The Wine Drive Safari is a unique 3-hour trip in our safari-style vehicle through the estate on the slopes of the Helderberg Mountain. This experience allows you to taste our award-winning wines amongst the vineyards of their origin, and you will be expertly guided through the aspects that make this area so biologically diverse and viticulturally unique.
