Winelands

Full Day - The Western Cape is famous for its award winning vintages. On the winelands tour, you’ll visit four different wine farms and have about 5 tastings at each farm. There is the option to buy wine at all of the farms and you will have a full tour of the cellars and your guide will explain how the wine is made. After visiting the second farm, you’ll be taken to lunch (either at a restaurant in Stellenbosch or at one of the wine farms) - all of this and your transport is included.
Half Day - Half day tours are a condensed version of what you get up to on a full day. These are often almost the same price as a full day, so if you have the time, a full day is recommended.

Cape Point

Full Day - Travel around the beautiful Cape Peninsula and enjoy our spectacular coastline, a visit to Boulders Beach to see the penguins, the Cape Point Nature Reserve, a boat trip to Seal Island and more… You’ll be collected from your hotel/backpackers and your lunch is included. There are many photo opportunities on this trip and no doubt you’ll see baboons, which roam wildly throughout the peninsula. Bicycles are also taken along – so if you’re feeling energetic you can cycle within the reserve.
Half Day - Half day tours are a condensed version of what you get up to on a full day. These are often almost the same price as a full day, so if you have the time, a full day is recommended.

Township Tours

Experience the harsh reality that is for so many South Africans a way of life. The community is welcoming and the children’s faces smiling (and always happy to be photographed).

Dinner at Mandela's -You’ll meet your guide outside Long Street Cafe which is where your pick-up departs from. You'll be transported to Hout Bay - Imizamo Yethu Township (or Mandela Park as known by the locals) by taxi and experience an evening of entertainment in the form of traditional African choirs as well as Pantsula dancing which is kind of like hip hop mixed with a South African township flavour. This all takes place in a shebeen (a “pub”). This tour is designed to be non- intrusive and allows you to interact with the locals of the area. Dinner is served after the entertainment which is a wonderful variety of traditional African food, served buffet style. The funds go directly back into the community.

The Cultural Tour - Let's talk about history, culture, ploitics, economic issues, current and future of the general life of the township people. the tour starts with a visit to the District Six Museum, looking at issues of forced removals. Visit the families of Langa via Bonteheuwel, Guguletu and visit a pre-school in KTC/Crossroads and stop in at Philani Centre (Women's Project) in Khayelitsha. A half day experience departs at 9am and 2pm.

You will get to experience 4 of the Big 5 (no elephants yet), a HUGE variety of buck and bird species as well as giraffe on a horseback safari of 2 to 3 hours. At the end of the day you will be dropped back at your hotel / guesthouse or backpackers.

Whale Watching

Hermanus is one of the best land-based whale watching areas in the world. This popular breeding ground offers spectacular sightings. The most common species is the Southern Right Whale, but Humpbacks Mink, Brydes and even occasionally Orca otherwise known as Killer Whales can be spotted. You’ll be collected from your hotel and taken through to Hermanus via the scenic route. Bicycles are taken along, so you can ride along our coastline and lunch is included. The whales only grace our coastline between July and December and for this reason the tours are seasonal.

Hiking

You can climb Table Mountain from either the front (on the side of the Cable Way) or from the back (through Kirstenbosch Gardens).

The guides are very knowledgeable and will ensure an informative and enjoyable day!

Walking with Baboons

Walk with the last surviving group of Chacma Baboons of the Southern Peninsula (near Cape Town, South Africa) and help to keep them safe! Take a walk with these amazing creatures and experience their gentle side as you see them in their natural environment.

About the Project...
Baboon Matters has developed the inspiring “Walking with Baboons” project in an effort to create a level of awareness and appreciation for these incredible creatures; perhaps through better understanding will come an acceptance and tolerance that will enable primates to learn to live alongside each other in harmony. The aim is to bridge the gap between the wild world of the Baboons and the civilised world of their human cousins. The remaining Chacma Baboons on the southern peninsula (close to Cape Town), face a bleak future as continued urbanization reduces wilderness areas, resulting in on-going conflict situations between man and baboon. Due to the unacceptably high mortality rates it was predicted that within 15 years the baboons would face certain extinction. At the current mortality rate there will not be a viable baboon population on the peninsula within the next 10 years. The Baboon Monitor Project was started in 1999 and over the past five years has considerably reduced the conflicts between primates by keeping baboons out of villages for 85% of days. The project employs 8 men from the nearby community of Masiphumelele. These men have been working closely with the baboons and have gained a wealth of wildlife experience as well as developing unique relationship with the baboons of the Da Gama and Slangkop troops. Funding for the Baboon Monitor Project is an on-going concern as pressing social issues dominate the current funding situation in South Africa. To support this important conservation initiative, 25% of nett proceeds from this walk will be utilized to ensure the continuation of the Baboon Monitor Project. Show your support for this important conservation initiative and come walking with Baboons !

The Experience...
Baboon Matters will guide you across the mountains around Cape Town to spend time with the last remaining Chacma Baboons in the Cape Peninsula. Our specialized two or three hour walking tours will take you through the mountain fynbos until we encounter the baboons in their home territory.

Qualified guides ensure your safety and enjoyment of this unique experience.
