South Africa is three countries inside one drive: a mountain city, a wine valley behind it and a bushveld the size of a small nation up north. Below are the 15 bookings that beat everything else here right now, with what each costs, how long it runs and which part of the country it happens in, and the full catalogue underneath if none of them fits your route.

“The driver was well informed and had a nice attitude. I recommend choosing this trip. Its worth it.”
Zipline Cape Town at the foot of Table Mountain: seven cables, 2.3 km of flying, fynbos walks, and 4x4 transport, from $49.
“We call to ask if it was windy as we saw on weather website. They informed it was not windy so we booked for it today. It was windy, we ask for refund, they decline for refund. This is very bad customer service. If weather is not good they should refund money, and not ask customer to take chances in windy weather so they can make some more money”

Cape Town full-day trip to Cape of Good Hope, Cape Point Lighthouse, and Boulders Beach penguins, with Simon’s Town lunch and optional seal cruise.
“Great trip! The guide, Colombe (Coco) (Chanel 😉), was so knowledgeable; she gave us a bit of history and told great stories. She was patient and flexible. The driver, Yves (Saint Laurent 😉), drove very safely and had a great sense of humour! Some stops could have done with a little more time, especially Boulders Beach. All in all, I enjoyed it very much and recommend it!”
Cape Town to Aquila Private Nature Reserve for a Big Five day trip with an open-vehicle safari, lodge lunch, and up to 172 birds.
“Our driver was very friendly and his driving was top notch. When we got to the Aquila Game Reserve I was blown away by the hospitality of the staff. We were very taken care of. The complimentary drinks on arrival, great food, very clean facilities and mostly friendly staff who went above and beyond to make sure that the tourists were catered for. The service was one of the best in my travelling experience. As for the staff on the game reserve our guides were very knowledgeable about the animals and he had a good sense of humour whilst explaining about the animals. We saw all the Big Five and…”
Cape Town in one day: Bo-Kaap, Chapman’s Peak, Cape Point, and penguins at Boulders Beach, with small-group pickup and views.
“This is a wonderful excursion. The coast is absolutely beautiful all the way to the cape of Good Hope. Lots of opportunities for pictures and breaks. Climbing to the top of Good Hope is a real experience. Then the penguins are very interesting and seeing close up with babies is something special. We also liked the ostrich farm. We had a wonderful tour guide that also helped make this special.”
Ride Cape Town’s white dunes on a guided WildX Atlantis quad adventure with a short photo stop, safety gear, and optional permit.
“I recently had the pleasure of experiencing the WILDX Atlantis Dune ATVing, and it was hands down my favorite part of the trip! From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly welcoming and enthusiastic, making us feel right at home. The beautiful sand dunes were nothing short of breathtaking. The vast expanse of golden sand created a stunning backdrop for our adventure, and the thrill of riding the ATVs across the dunes was exhilarating. The combination of speed and the gorgeous scenery was truly unforgettable. The ATVs were well-maintained, powerful, and easy to handle, even for beginners. Our guide was knowledgeable and ensured everyone felt comfortable before we hit…”

Hop on the Franschhoek Wine Tram from Cape Town by luxury coach, then bus and tram your way through tastings, food stops, and valley views.
“We were a group of 13 people (all who live in CT) so we decided to get picked up at the waterfront office. We arrived there at 8:30 and the bus arrived at 8:45. The said that the bus leaves sharply at 8:45 but we only left at 8:54. Google Maps said it’s about a 50 minute drive but the bus took a different route and went through Stellies (which ended up being 1h 10min). We packed snacks for the bus to have our own little breakfast which was a huge win. The whole day was so much fun. The bus people never told us what time the bus leaves…”
