Our tour with African Okapi Tours
Our tour with African Okapi Tours was nothing short of exceptional! The couple who guided us through Robben Island, Table Mountain, and Cape Town City were simply fantastic. Their deep knowledge and passion for the history and culture of Cape Town made the experience unforgettable. The Robben Island tour was moving and insightful, while the views from Table Mountain were breathtaking. Throughout the city tour, they made sure we felt welcomed and engaged, sharing fascinating stories. African Okapi Tours truly offers a top-tier experience, and we can’t recommend them enough for anyone visiting Cape Town!

Inspiring and fun
Mark was a very inspiring and happy guide. We started off in a disappointing way cause of the cancellation of the robben island tour.
Mark offered a good solution and we have visited the table mountain instead.
During the trip to boulder beach and cape of good hope Mark told us a lot about the history of the country and the villages, bays we passed along the way.
The atmosphere was very good and we laughed a lot. Thanks Mark for this beautiful day.

Unhappy with VIATOR who did not inform us that the full tour was never taking place. They gave us false information
Robbins Island tour booked with VIATOR did not happen as purchased. Robbins isl was closed but we were never informed of this. We are completely happy with Lucian Mulaba who refunded us 750 RAND. He was such a great guide. It is Viator our grievience is with, not the company we travelled with on the day. We have paid E 220 for this full day to you VIATOR and we feel YOU SHOULD compensate us also.

An Unforgettable Day in South Africa’s Natural and Historic Wonders
This tour was hands down one of the best parts of our time in Cape Town! We started with Robben Island, and hearing the stories from a former prisoner was incredibly moving. It really puts things into perspective and makes you appreciate the history on a whole new level.
Next stop was Boulders Beach, and the penguins were absolutely adorable! Watching them waddle around and swim was such a fun and unique experience.
Then we headed to the Cape of Good Hope and Cape Point. The views were absolutely stunning, the kind that take your breath away. We want up to the lighthouse and it was so worth it for the scenery alone.
A huge shoutout to our guide, Mark, who was fantastic, super friendly, full of knowledge, and made the whole day run smoothly. He really added so much value to the experience with interesting anecdotes and local insights.
