Andy took a small group of friends to Die Strandloper last weekend and was absolutely great. The Van/bus was very clean and roomie and Andy was very friendly. We forgot a few things and Andy was very helpful in getting us organized again. I got quotes from a number of other shuttle operators and Andy had the best rates. Would highly recommend.

The extremities of landmasses have always captured our imagination. To stand at the Southernmost Tip of the African Continent would certainly rank high within the realm of this sentiment. The Tour takes one over Sir Lowry's Pass and Houwhoek Pass to Hermanus where, in the whale season (July- Nov), a few moments will be spared for whale watching. The area has a rich history of maritime hardships. Then enjoy a glass of Bubbly at the southern most Tip of Africa and dip your toes in both the Atlantic and Indian Ocean!

Inclusions: Pick Up & Drop Off at your Accommodation, Private Air-Conditioned Vehicle, Bottled Water & WiFi on Board, Enty/ Admission at Lighthouse , Light Lunch

Exclusions: - Gratuities

Cheetahs are an endangered species. Less than 7500 in the world. Cheetahs need to eat & often their meal of choice is livestock like sheep. Cheetah Outreach breeds & trains Anatolian shepherd dogs, who have for centuries guarded flocks of sheep from predators such as cheetahs, so once trained, these dogs are given to farmers. Monkey Town Primate Centre is a Wildlife Centre for monkeys & apes as well as a large variety of other species of animals. There are more than 250 primates & 26 different exotic species of monkeys & apes including the wildlife centre with over 700 animals in total to admire. Visitors to the well-designed enclosure at Monkey Town observe the monkeys from caged walkways allowing the monkeys to roam freely on the outside. Tour guides at the facilities are very passionate & knowledgeable. Glad to answer any questions that visitors may have.

Inclusions: Entrance fee to the Cheetah outreach and Monkey Town

Exclusions: Extra food and drink
