Safari Cape Town
We offer private, group and scheduled Safaris throughout South Africa.
Cape Town, for all its international flair, is a city in Africa, and no African adventure is complete without a safari.
Although Cape Town itself doesn’t have any Safari Lodges you just a few hours away from a wide variety of options and lucky for you our team is going to assist you in picking the Cape Town Safari that suites you.
First we need to know if your schedule allows for an overnight or just a day safari. We always recommend making the time to do at least a night on one of our safari lodges. The experience is so much different. Staying overnight allows you to a more immersive experience and alot more animal interactions. This said, we do understand that some guests just don’t have the time and for this reason we do also offer the option to do a day trip safari.
A standard with all overnight safari packages is that they come 3 meals and 2 game drives per day. For the day safari’s you have the option of just going for the game drive or doing a package with breakfast and lunch included. Based on your schedule and availability our team will give you all the options to allow you to make the decision that best suits you/ your group.
We also offer guests transfers to and from all the game reserves so do let us know if you would like us to include this.
We look forward to hearing from you and being of service.
Safari Cape Town - Day Trip or Overnight Stay?

Overnight Safari near Cape Town
The Safari parks around Cape Town offer a variety of options when it comes to accommodation grades and styles as well as activities. Our team will assist you in filtering through them to find the one that best suits your interests.

Day Trip Safari
Cape Town
To accomodate the visitor that doesnt have a few days to dedicate to Safari we have put together day trip options from Cape Town. Unfortunately less than a handfull of reserves offer Game drives for Day visitors so the options for this type of Safari are limited.
Safari Cape Town - Key Elements to consider?

Guides and Staff
Having knowledgable and passionate staff and guides makes the world of difference to your experience. We all love learning fun facts and stats and having the right team with you means you get the information relevant to what you seeing and not just a scripted narrator in the front of your 4x4.

Wildlife Diversity
For most guests seeing the Big 5 is the bucket list box they looking to tick. If this is you then make sure the option you going with is at least going to give you a shot at this. That leopard is hard one to catch but if he is there we have a chance.

Time of year
Dry season is usually the best time of year for a Safari and if you going to Kruger or any of the other major areas for Safari then we have to advise that you try and plan accordingly. Lucky for you Cape Town Safari’s are not really affected by the time of year thanks to the all year round great weather and the smaller game reserves which drastically increase your wildlife sightings.

Respect for the wildlife and ecosystem
We have all heard stories of ill treated and neglected animals and for this reason we only affiliate ourselves with reserves that promote responsible tourism and wildlife conservation so that you and I and the generations to come can all benefit and learn from these Safari experiences.

Accommodation and Amenities
Our generation has become accustomed to having certain living and eating standards and so this is definitely something we have to consider if we want this safari to be enjoyable. Our reserves offer everything from Luxury lodges to Tented Campsites with both remote and more accessible locations so we have something comfortable to offer everyone.

Activities
Animal encounters, night safaris, quad biking, horse back riding and conservation programmes just add that bit of spice to the experience if you looking for something more thrilling than relaxing so these factors are also something that has to be considered before we commit.

You
Are you a solo traveler looking for a more intimate experience with nature or a group trekking accross africa looking to fit in as much as you can into a day. Either way we have you covered.

Budget
We have Safari’s to suit almost any budget. As much as we wish this wasn’t something we had to consider, it unfortunately is and for this reason we have ensured that we have options to suit your or your groups needs.

Why Choose Wanderer For Your Cape Town Safari?
EXCELLENT Based on 83 reviews Toni Williams2023-03-29 From our initial contact through our drop off, all details were handled promptly and efficiently. We just did an airport transfer, but Rafique would have been an excellent tour guide as well. His knowledge and ability to entertain while educating were exceptional. We cannot thank the team here enough for a seamless transfer! (As Canadians we did experience a slight glitch with payment, but Che was able to help us out with that too) Anpna Halai2023-03-28 From start to finish, Che is definitely the person you want to book your Cape Town trip with. When we were planning the itinerary, Che replied via email so quickly and really formulated an amazing itinerary and it was dealt with so professionally. As soon as we arrived in Cape Town, my Mum and I were really looked after well by Che and Faizal. A luxury car for our entire tour was used which made our tour experience so comfortable with daily replenished water bottles and providing wifi in the car was such an extra special luxury touch. Faizal was our driver for the entire week and he was so polite, professional, met us on time and made meet up points so easy. We couldn’t have asked for a better driver to share our trip with. Che went above and beyond for our itinerary, suggesting the township tour that we had not originally planned but was so worth it and ended up being one of our favourite tours of the trip. He honestly recommends the best restaurants and vineyards. We were celebrating both my Mum and I birthdays on the trip which we ended up doing two days of the winelands, Che made it extra special by suggesting the best vineyards, honestly it was an unforgettable experience and a birthday we will never forget. Daily check ups to see how our day went was also a really nice touch. Che and Faizal honestly looked after us so well, we felt like we knew them for ages and hopefully friends for a long time. We will definitely be back and definitely use Wanderer Cape Town Tours. Neil Khot2023-03-28 Awesome service, Good Vehicles and Knowledgeable guide, Rifique iand Che are both great , plan ahead of coming. Patrik Novak2023-03-28 Just amazing trip with such great guy as a guide. Tracey Dollemore2023-03-10 Where can I start? This amazing day has blown our minds. Something we couldn't have achieved without Che's expertise and organisational skills planning our day for us. Our fabulous tour guide Rafique, so professional every step of the way. Felt so looked after, saw SO much, so emotional and incredible. Book it ... you will not be disappointed!! Islam Sherif2023-03-04 Amazing service. Well trained guides. Very good knowledge of the city and best time to visit each area. They have a fleet of new and well maintained cars and buses. Highly recommended! Special thank you to Che, Nwabisa, Faize and michael. rohan ahuja2023-03-01 My experience with them has been absolutely amazing and wonderful. They made my honeymoon extremely memorable. In my limited time in cape town they not only made everything possible for me to see but also they made it super smooth. The team is very kind and affectionate especially Che & Rafique. They made sure my wife and me feel safe all the time. Their highest priority is that their clients get the best experience. They made my trip so memorable that i want to come back again. And i would not hesitate once in taking their services again. They do their work with utmost passion. They make sure everything is the best and that too at the right price. Aisha Naiga2023-01-26 Professional, prompt and excellent planners! We enjoyed our stay in Capetown courtesy of Wander Tours & Travel. Grateful Andrew Williamson2023-01-15 Really enjoyable trips at the start and end of our little tour around South Africa. Organised by Che and looked after on the days by Rafique. Tour 1 - Cape Point - which we started at Boulders Bay (penguins), Cape Point in the National Park, fab lunch stop (with great wine!). Atlantic seaboard and Chapmans Peak and back to Cape Town. Tour 2 - Wine Tour plus Table Mountain - our day was adjusted as the mountain cable car was closed first thing (due to wind) so we had a little tour of a trendy local market (Biscuit Mill) which was an unexpected surprise. Franschhoek and Stellenbosch was great. I really would advise people give themselves plenty of time in Franschhoek - a charming place and lovely to wander around and browse in the shops and galleries. A few “surprises” along the way on both days (no spoilers here as I wouldn’t wish to give anything away). Rafique was such fun on day 1 we asked if he could look after us when we returned in 10 days. Thanks to both Che and Rafique…. Really appreciated it. Andrew & Charlotte and David & Tanya.

Wanderer tours is a treasure of Cape Town. My husband and I always book our private tours there every time we come to Cape Town. Che is not only a... read more great guide but also amazing manager. Let me prove my words: we booked a tour to Hermanus to watch the whales but unfortunately we couldn’t leave hotel in time so we were late for our boat tour. High season, everything is fully booked. Che not only calmed us down but he managed to put us on another whale watching tour. Meanwhile he kept negotiating with the company we booked initially (less people on the boat) and he managed to squeeze us into their next tour! So trust me, Che always has a plan for you, he knows how to make it work and he’s all ears to your wishes. He is very flexible in itineraries, our next trip was a wine tasting tour, he was changing the itinerary right during the tour according to our wine tastes and wishes! That’s amazing! I wish he would teach all other tour operators worldwide how to do business 🙂 the best of the best, I’ve already visited 63 countries and can swear I haven’t met better service ever!!! Che knows the best and most beautiful locations to share them with you.
We also did a tour to Langa township - it’s absolutely safe and we were able to see the real side of life there. People there are so kind and friendly, just very poor. It was a deep immersion into their culture, history and traditions. Come and judge on your own, don’t miss this experience.Svetlana R
7 September 2022Che and his team were excellent and made our stay in Cape Town (post cruise) amazing. We communicated over whatsapp while I was still on the cruise and discussed what... read more me and my friend wanted to see and do (two females travelling) for the 2.5 days we had in the city. Che put the itinerary together for us and he didn't disappoint; also, communication was excellent. What we especially liked was that the total cost included most entry fees to attractions so that just made the experience seamless without us having to worry about that. We felt totally safe at all times (I was worried about that before going); local knowledge was extensive and overall service was really good. We will definitely return to South Africa, and Che and the team will be my first port of call when planning the trip. Can't recommend enough.

Prompt and patient - we would come down in the morning to... read more find him waiting! tailored the tour to our interests (including a 13 year old boy), provided great suggestions for restaurants and formulated wonderful experiences for our activities. Very flexible on arranging our days based on the weather - several activties had to be rescheduled because of rain and Che managed the entire process. Comfortable cars and very attentive to the small details (like my preference for sparkling water vs my son for still and providing local snacks to sample). Expedited our entrance to the parks and events. Catered to our every wish. Highly recommend and shall absolutely use them on our next trip to Capetown

The tour itself was unforgettable we were blessed with perfect weather & everyone in our group of 5 loved it. We would highly recommend Che to anyone travelling to Cape Town.

Our travel guide Moira is one of the most knowledgeable and amazing persons I have ever come across. She gave us a great insight into the city and show us breathtaking sights. Chapman's peak and Boulders penguins colony are not to be missed. A big shout out to Che for managing and planning the whole trip to perfection and Moira for passionately telling us everything about the city and route.

Wanderer elevated our first Cape Town experience! - I can’t say enough great things about Che and his team! We had most of our days already planned by Wanderer prior to arriving, but we had one open... read more day to fill and ZERO dinner plans upon arrival. Che sat down with our group in the lobby of our hotel on the first night to discuss our interests. He then filled our open day with activities catered to our interests. He booked dinner reservations for us each night and made sure we had rides to and from dinner. He also shuttled us to some really great bars after dinner and had called ahead to request great seating. Miles was our guide for 2 full days around the cape region, and we had a great time with him as well.
Che consistently went the extra mile for our group, and it made our vacation even better than we could’ve imagined. It took all of the stress out of figuring out where to eat, what sites to see, and how we were going to get there. We were able to sit back, relax, and truly feel like we made new friends with the Wanderer crew. Thank you Che!
11 September 2022Anandita RBest Cape Town Experience - I had the most amazing time in Cape Town last week, thanks to Che and team. The Cape Point tour and the Vineyards tour was the highlight of my entire... read more trip. My guide Rafique, was kind, knowledgeable and a wonderful photographer. Che is extremely meticulous about customizing the trips based on my liking and had amazing recommendations of things to do outside of the trip too. i am glad I found them and will highly recommend their services to everyone!
5 December 2022PostCV-19TravelCustomer service is #1 - If you want the best private tours in Cape Town, Che and his team are the BEST! We were traveling with 4 other couples, so you can imagine what it... read more was like trying to ensure that everyone's tastes were accounted for. While planning, Che (the owner) was very attentive to what we wanted, suggested other sites that we may want to see and actually communicated with us, often. He and his team went out of their way to ensure that everyone had a great time, sometimes changing the itinerary slightly because we were off-schedule. Che personally saw that my husband and I were taken care of, at a moment's notice, on our 9 hour lay-over back through Cape Town a week later. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Wandered Tours for your Cape Town adventures - you will NOT be disappointed.
