Ray really enhanced this day trip for us! He is informative and friendly, really welcoming and has a great balance of maintaining interesting conversation without talking “at you,” which some guides struggle with. We loved every part of our tour from Table Mountain (where we were very lucky with the weather) to the penguins to the Cape. Thank you so much for making our trip so wonderful!
We had a lovely memorable day made unforgettable by the wonderful Ray! He was informative delivering facts in an amusing manner making for what would seem a long day pass in the blink of an eye! He tailored the day to match what we were looking for, incorporating coffee stops & lunch along the way, obviously very experienced as neither made a dent in our sightseeing plans. We couldn’t recommend Ray highly enough, we all had a thoroughly enjoyable day managing to see everything planned (Table Mountain, Simon’s Town, Boulders Beach Penguins & Cape of Good Hope); & more. Thank you Ray, your time & energy made our day 😊
Ray was an absolute rockstar—without question, the best tour guide I've ever had anywhere in the world. No, not an exaggeration. From the moment our tour began, we were blown away by his wit, depth of knowledge, and incredible ability to seamlessly connect history, culture, politics, architecture, wildlife, and local life into one unforgettable experience. Every stop came alive because of the stories and insights he shared. My family travels often, and it's incredibly rare to meet someone as knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely passionate as Ray. He went so far above and beyond anything we expected. He made us feel like VIP guests throughout the entire day, taking the time to answer every question, tailor the experience to our interests, and make sure we left with a much deeper appreciation for Cape Town and South Africa. Ray set the tone for our entire stay and made us even more excited to explore this beautiful country. Thank you for an absolutely AMAZING experience. We truly hope our paths cross again someday. If you're considering booking with Ray, don't hesitate. It will be one of the highlights of your trip. Hugs!

Collen was terrific guide. Great experience- would recommend to friends and family. Many things to see in just one day.
Dear kristy Thank you for the great review We’re thrilled Collen made your Cape of Good Hope, Table Mountain & Penguins private tour terrific. At Kasi Africa Safari our professional guides like Collen combine local expertise, friendly service and flexible private itineraries so you can see many highlights in one day personalized attention that outperforms the competition. Thanks for recommending us to friends and family; we’d love to welcome you back for another customized Cape Town adventure. Regards Kasi Africa Safari
For one of the first times we used Viator for a tour, our private tour of Cape Town far exceeded our expectations and we couldn't have been happier. We had just disembarked from a disappointing cruise as we missed 4 excursions from the cruiseline due to weather. Our guide, Collen Booi, was the best guide we could have had. The weather forecast was grim but he worked around the weather to make sure we were able to see all of the itinerary plus more. He was so friendly and knowledgable and we learned so much about the country and the culture. He was flexible on our pick up time and drop off and we had no issues meeting up with him after disembarking from the ship. It was truly one of the best experiences we had and Collen helped make our first time to South Africa a trip to remember.
Dear Kathleen Thank you for the wonderful review We’re so glad Collen Booi turned a disappointing cruise day into one of your best Cape Town experiences. At Kasi Africa Safari we believe an expert guide is the heart of any private tour Collen’s local knowledge, friendliness, and flexibility (adjusting pick-up/drop-off and itinerary around weather and ship timing) are exactly what sets our tours apart from the competition. Our private tours are fully customizable so you get the sights, stories, and pace you want, even when plans change. We’d love to welcome you back to South Africa and show you more with another tailored Kasi Africa Safari private tour. Safe travels and thank you for choosing us! Regards Kasi Africa Safari
We took the Cape of Good Hope, Table Mountain & Penguins Tour in Cape Town, South Africa on May 11, and what started as a very stressful morning turned into one of the most memorable days of our trip. The weather was terrible. A major storm had started the day before, and I was extremely worried because we had booked this tour months in advance. I contacted the activity provider several times asking about cancellation because of the rain and high winds. They explained that the parks were still open, even though Table Mountain had closed because of the storm. I was frustrated and upset and even called Viator very angrily that morning. Thankfully, our driver and guide, Mo, completely changed the experience for us. Mo was absolutely outstanding. He was calm, kind, encouraging, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable. Since Table Mountain was closed, he even offered alternatives like a museum or winery visit. Despite the cold weather and heavy rain, he made sure we still had a wonderful day. My best friend encouraged us to stop worrying and just enjoy the experience — and I am SO glad we did. Seeing the penguins and visiting the Cape of Good Hope in dramatic stormy weather actually became unforgettable. There were four of us — my best friend, our husbands, and me — and we travel the world together. This tour ended up being one of our favorite memories from Cape Town. If you visit Cape Town, take this tour — and absolutely request Mo as your driver and guide. He made all the difference. Thank you, Viator, for another great travel experience!
Dear Jacqueline Thank you for the fantastic review We’re thrilled Mo turned a stressful morning into one of your most memorable Cape Town experiences. At Kasi Africa Safari we know a professional guide makes all the difference on a Cape Town private tour. Expert guides like Mo provide local knowledge, calm leadership, flexible alternatives (museums, wineries, scenic drives) and personalized attention that beat the competition and keep your trip on track even in stormy weather. Highlights you mentioned Cape of Good Hope, penguins, Table Mountain alternatives are exactly why travelers choose our private tours: tailored itineraries, expert storytelling, and seamless service. If you’re planning another South Africa adventure, request Mo or one of our other top rated guides for a truly unforgettable, flexible Cape Town private tour. Thanks again for recommending Kasi Africa Safari. We’d love to welcome you and your travel group back soon! Regards Kasi Africa Safari
We had only 3 days in our visit in Cape Town and we are super happy to have booked this private full day tour. Ray our guide was very accommodating as we wished to have some changes for our tour. We went up to Tablw Mountain with him and for sure got the best views before rush hour as he suggested an early departure. Bo-kaap and other city center sights were included before we head out to Cape Point area to see everything possible from Simonstown penguins to Cape of Good Hope and Cape point. Lots of photo stops and plenty of interesting infomation in clean safely driven vehicle. A day we really enjoyed!
