    Quality time with penguins

    Monica_N, Mar 2026
    Despite a slight delay in the beginning, it was fantastic. Khanya was informative, showed me some hidden spots and allowed me to spend plenty of time with the penguins. I would highly recommend him and this tour.

    Penguins and Cape of Good Hope

    randy s, Oct 2019
    This trip was fantastic, we departed on time from our hotel and because we arrived early we did not have to wrestle with the crowds. On the way back we were passing all the buses headed to where we already left. The driver was flexible and showed us scenery we never would have seen. Highly recommend!
