Dreadful experience

Gillian_C, Sep 2025
Our guide, on the morning of the tour, told us we were being given the wrong tour- a tour we had partly done the day before and asked whether we would wait in the bus 2 hours whilst other guests visited Table Mountain. We were also told that a visit to Seal Island was not possible which again according to other tour operators was not accurate. We have now booked with another operator and are waiting to be picked up. I am afraid that this company cannot be trusted.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Dear Gillian, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the disappointing experience you had on the day of your tour. This was an operational error on our part, which resulted in you being placed on the wrong minibus that included a visit to Table Mountain. We understand how frustrating this must have been, especially after already having visited parts of the tour. Had we been notified in time, we would have gladly arranged to place you in the correct vehicle so you could enjoy the full experience as planned. We truly regret that this mistake impacted your day and trust. Your feedback is vital in helping us improve our service, and we appreciate your patience and understanding. We hope you eventually enjoyed your other plans and wish you all the best in your travels. Regards Kasi Africa Safari

David_B, Oct 2024
A fantastic way to see cape of good hope and cape point with plenty of beautiful stops along the way.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Dear Valued Client Thank you for taking time off you busy day to review our services. We are glad you found the tour to be fantastic. Safe travels Kind regards Kasi Africa Safari & Tours

Good guides, but bad organization, I wouldnt book this again. Not worth the price either

Antara_S, Oct 2024
I’ll start by saying that the guides Zaine and Nathan were excellent, they are the only reason this review score wasn’t lower. However the management for this tour was really bad. For some reason they told us to be ready at 7:30 but they only picked us up at 8:30. In the meantime while I messaged for updates, they only said the bus would arrive shortly (it arrived 30 minutes after that point). When they finally arrived, of course we were the last ones on board so were stuffed in the very back where there wasn’t even a clear window view and it was super stuffy. Lastly, this is NOT a small group. It’s medium at best. It’s not a personal experience as I was expecting, it’s a minibus that stuffs you in with 19 other people. The guides were good and the itinerary was great, but these to us did not make up for the fact that they made us wait for an hour and we were uncomfortably stuffed to the back of the van for the entire day.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Dear Antara, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you experienced during your recent tour of the Cape of Good Hope and the penguin colony. While we're delighted to hear that Zaine and Nathan provided excellent service, we understand that the organization and timing fell short of your expectations. We value your comments regarding the late pickup and the discomfort due to the seating arrangement. Your experience does not reflect the high standards we aim to uphold at Kasi Africa Safari. We are currently reviewing our processes to ensure better management and a more personalized experience for our guests in the future. We appreciate your understanding and hope you will consider giving us another chance to provide you with the exceptional service we strive for. Thank you once again for your feedback, and please feel free to reach out directly if you have any further concerns. Warm regards, Kasi Africa Safari

Mandy_W, Aug 2024
Fantastic trip, loved seeing the penguins and the boat ride to Seal Island was amazing. Mr President and Encoch were brilliant guides. They gave us lots information throughout the day. Would definitely recommend this tour.

Dear Valued Client Thank you for the review and recommendation we really appreciate it. We are glad you had an amazing trip and we look forward to seeing you again in the near future. Until then, stay well Kind regards Kasi Africa Safari & Tours

Great tour with the amazing Gordon

Kay_s, Aug 2024
Gordon our tour guide made this tour a most memorable one. He was warm, friendly, very knowledgeable about literally every topic on Cape Town. None in our group felt rushed when we had stops for restroom breaks, souvenir shopping or lunch. August weather was brisk and windy so bring a hat/jacket. Cape of good hope was magnificent and we enjoyed it all. There were ostriches, monkeys, along the way as we drove. My mother Beverley and I thank you Gordon for an amazing day with our group. And thank you for being gracious when we got you off to a late start. Kay

Response from Host, Aug 2024

Dear Kay Thank you for taking time off to review our services. Gordon is very much pleased with the review and we are glad he made it a memorable time for you Kind regards Kasi Africa Safari & Tours

Frustrating and Disappointing Tour

Patricia_B, Jun 2024
Gordon and Big D, our guide and bus driver were very nice but TOO NICE because they allowed people to be 30 minutes late and it happened more than once. The tour advertised Cape of Good Hope and Penguins but due to running so late, we only had 15 minutes at the Penguins which was VERY disappointing. Our last stop was at Tabletop Mountain that was not on the agenda and my husband and I had already visited on a different day. They stayed for a 1 1/2 hrs which I stayed on the bus since I was recovering from food poisoning and my husband had to miss the tour due to being sick. My hotel was only 10-15 minutes away but they did not offer to take me there. I found the trip very frustrating due to having to wait for the “rude” people at almost every stop which the guide should have established “rules” at the beginning of the tour - not there by a certain time, leave them behind.

Response from Host, Aug 2024

Dear Valued Client We thank you very much for raising this. We strive to be the best and so we will look into this and improve our services in this area. We apologize for the inconvenience. Stay safe Kind regards Kasi Africa Safari & Tours

Great day

Stephanie_M, Feb 2024
This was a great day tour, our guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. The drive around the coast was amazing, well worth it. The only hitch was when we arrived at the Cape, it was very busy with not enough time to buy lunch

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Good day Valued Client We always enjoy hearing what our clients have to say. We’re glad we could be of service and appreciate the kind words. We apologize for the inconvenience and we will work on that. Please see us again if there is anything else you need. All the best with your travels. Kind regards Kasi Africa Safari & Tours

Brilliant experience!

Rebecca_M, Oct 2023
We had a fantastic trip - Luc was helpful and willing to answer any questions. He gave us lots of information throughout and went out of his way to make sure we got to see Bo Kaap which the traffic had prevented early in the morning. Great places to stop and see.

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Dear Rebecca We are thankful for your review and support. Our team strives to provide memorable high-quality services and so we are glad Luc did just that. We hope to meet again till then goodbye Regards Kasi Africa Safari & Tours

What an amazing trip! Reagan was a great tour guide giving us insightful information throughout on the history of many places throughout Cape Town. So many good stops on this tour, with Cape Point being my favorite - just breathtaking views! The shuttle was comfortable and there were plenty of stops along the way. Lunch was great and there's plenty authentic South African food you can try like game meat there. Overall an amazing trip and covered a lot of great spots in Cape Town. Highly recommend it and recommend Reagan as a tour guide!

I had an awesome time on this tour. Our guide, Jean, was professional and knowledgeable about the history and area that we toured. He went out of his way to make sure that we saw Zebra, Elk, Emu, and Baboons!

Good tour and good guide

Chris, Feb 2020
Jean was a very kind and professional guide. He speaks multiple languages including French- which was good for us. He was also very knowledgeable about the area. We were glad to have him show us around.

Spectacular

Fani_P, Feb 2020
The tour was great, our guide and driver were the best and the stops breathtaking. Anesu and Denis where quite well informed and they gave us a generous taste of their home land. Highly Recommended.

Excellent tour of the Cape Peninsula

wkkindler9, Feb 2020
An excellent tour of the Cape Peninsula and visit to the Boulders Penguin Colony. Our tour began with a pick-up at the cruise terminal and included a mini-tour of Cape Town's downtown & colorful Bo-Kaap neighborhood. The scenic drive with stops along the peninsula's coastline provided outstanding views of it's towns, beaches, and mountainous landscape. We entered the Cape of Good Hope & Table Mountain National Park to view & visit Cape Point and it's historic lighthouse. The views from the top of the lighthouse were spectacular. We also viewed some of the wildlife within the National Park and spent time at the Boulders Penguin Colony beach site as well. Our guide/driver was very professional, informative, and allowed enough time at various stops, sites and the penguin colony. A very enjoyable excursion.

Dommage

andreecolombe_k, Dec 2024
je n'ai pas pu faire l'excursion car j'ai eu problème de santé. J'ai même payer 500 Rand pour pouvoir être reprogrammé, mais la maladie en a décidé autrement .Cependant je n'ai eu aucun remboursement. le guide Elie était bien et compatissant mais les autres de l'entreprise, pas du tout il ne voyait que le coté financier pas le coté Humain. Pour ce manque de flexibilité je ne peux pas encouragé quelqu'un a faire cette excursion à moins d'être sûr à 100% que vous n'allez pas tomber malade ce qui ne dépend pas de vous .

Response from Host, Dec 2024

Merci d'avoir partagé vos commentaires. Nous comprenons que des problèmes de santé peuvent survenir de manière inattendue et nous compatissons sincèrement à votre situation. Cependant, il est important de préciser que vos demandes de reprogrammation ont été faites dans un bref délai et que le guide et le véhicule avaient déjà été réservés pour vous. Comme indiqué, les frais supplémentaires de R500 ont été convenus pour s'adapter à votre horaire changeant. Tout en nous efforçant de soutenir nos clients, nous avons également mis en place des politiques pour couvrir les coûts associés aux annulations et aux reprogrammations de dernière minute. Nous apprécions votre compréhension à ce sujet. Nous sommes heureux d'apprendre qu'Elie a fait preuve de compassion et vous a offert une expérience positive lors de votre excursion. Votre contribution nous est précieuse et nous visons toujours à équilibrer la flexibilité avec les réalités de la gestion de la logistique. Merci de votre compréhension et nous vous souhaitons le meilleur pour votre santé pour l’avenir. Dear Andree Thank you for sharing your feedback. We understand that health issues can arise unexpectedly, and we genuinely empathize with your situation. However, it's important to clarify that your rescheduling requests were made on short notice, and both the guide and vehicle had already been secured for you. As discussed, the additional $29 charge was agreed upon to accommodate your changing schedule. While we strive to support our customers, we also have policies in place to cover the costs associated with last-minute cancellations and rescheduling. We appreciate your understanding in this matter. We’re glad to hear that Elie was compassionate and provided a positive experience during your excursion. Your input is valuable to us, and we always aim to balance flexibility with the realities of managing logistics. Thank you for your understanding, and we wish you all the best in your health moving forward. Regards Kasi Africa Safari & Tours
