We had the most marvelous experience with Rushdein and African Wildcats on our airport transfers, rides to the wine country and tours of the Cape and Cape Town. Rushdein made getting to know the Western Cape a delight by sharing his love and knowledge of the area and navigating ideal days for our group of 7. I can’t imagine a better, more welcoming and caring host and guide.
Excellent guide on a reduced group. The tour was awesome and allowed his to understand much more about the cape. Thanks!
Had a great day out on the Cape Peninsula tour. Rushdine was an excellent guide with a deep knowledge of local culture, geography and history. He planned the tour well we were able to see it all, not only that but he was also able to adapt our day and tailor our experience as we wanted. Ask him for a local Gatsby if you are hungry ;) I would recommend this company to anyone.
Rushi and his wife Kamila were fantastic guides - very accommodating and we used them to ferry our family of 6 around over six great days in Cape Town. Thanks for making our trip to CT so much fun.
A group of friends and I from the US took the Cape of Good Hope/ Penguin tour after we hiked Table Mountain that morning. Our guide Rashdien was amazing! He dropped us off for our 3.5 hr hike, picked us up and gave us tons of Cape Town history while we traveled to the African Penguins and Cape of Good Hope. It was one of the highlights of our entire trip! He was also very generous and gave us many tips for other things in the area ie; restaurants, city tours, massage etc.. we will definitely use this company again should we return to Cape Town.
Fantastic trip and great value. Rushdien went out of his way to make this an amazing day. My husband is shark crazy. Rusdien took him to a shark spotter which made his day. Highly recommended. Also we used him to collect and return us to the airport.
