WANDERER TOURS AND TRAVEL
Your Cape Town trip begins the moment you land — we make the arrival part of the experience.
Wanderer runs private Cape Town airport transfers from Cape Town International Airport (CPT) to every corner of the metro and the surrounding Winelands and Whale Coast. Every transfer is a private, pre-booked service — never a shared shuttle, never a taxi rank, never a wait on other guests.
Our chauffeurs meet you inside the arrivals hall with a Wanderer name board and assist with trolleys and luggage all the way to the vehicle. From there you travel privately in a luxury Mercedes-Benz — chilled water, air conditioning, quiet interior and generous boot space — direct to your hotel, villa, the V&A Waterfront, the cruise terminal, a Stellenbosch estate, a Franschhoek lodge or a Hermanus villa on the Whale Coast.
Because everything is private, you set the pace. If you would like a slow scenic drive through the City Bowl on the way in, we build it in. If you would rather nap in the car after a long-haul flight, we keep it quiet and direct. Child seats, extra stops, grocery runs and hotel check-ins can all be arranged in the same transfer.
Cape Town International sits about 20 km east of the city, roughly a 25-minute drive to the CBD or V&A Waterfront outside peak traffic. Stellenbosch is around 40 minutes; Franschhoek is around an hour; Hermanus on the Whale Coast is around an hour and 45. Every route we drive daily, so we know exactly when to leave to protect your day.
Wanderer is a private Cape Town tour operator, so airport transfers plug straight into the rest of your trip. Add a Cape Town day tour the morning after you arrive, a Winelands day before your Franschhoek check-in, or an hourly chauffeur once you land — all handled in one itinerary, one contact and one bill.
Cruise passengers, business travellers, honeymooners, families and small groups all book the same core service — a private, discreet, on-time Mercedes transfer, driven by a professional who knows the city inside out. That base of quiet competence is what makes the first hour in Cape Town feel effortless.
