Cape Town Safari and Whales
Tour Description
An Amazing three-day safari tour from Cape Town during the African winter.
Experience the great safari tour from Cape Town with an overnight stay at the Sanbona Private Game Reserve. Experience nature on two Game Drives to view some of the Big Five and more than 20 other species of beautiful wild animals in their natural habitat.
Then we head to the coast stopping off at the wonderful family-owned and run Raka Wine Estate (or similar) for a wine tasting. Our lodge which is located at the seaside village of Gansbaai is now only a 45-minute drive away so you may take your time to enjoy the great wines.
At Gansbaai the next morning, we board Dreamcatcher, the Dyer Island Cruise boat, for the Marine Big Five Tour to find the amazing Marine species including the Southern Right Whales who are here in great numbers between the months of July to October. For the adrenaline junkies, there is the option to do a Great White Shark Cage Dive if the Marine Big Five Tour appears too tame for you. After your cruise we follow the coastline to Hermanus which is recognized as one of the premier land-based whale viewing areas in the world.
After Hermanus we make one more stop to visit the African Penguin colony located at Stony Point before we head back to Cape Town. This is the best of South African Safari Tours from Cape Town because you get to experience the African wildlife as well as the magnificent Marine creatures in Walker Bay.

My wife and I went on a 12 day trip to South Africa and Victoria Falls. We wanted to have several Safaris, enjoy Cape Town, go shark cage diving to see the Great White sharks, and more in South Africa. Because several activities were weather dependent, we needed a lot of flexibility in our schedule. They, the team at Africa Explore Safaris, achieved that and more. They are the most responsive travel company we have ever dealt with. Quick responses to our emails and questions. Follow-ups to make sure we were enjoying ourselves.

Quinton Conroy is the icing on the cake that is your South African safari experience! No detail is missed, from describing every species of birds in the bush to the wonderful story of the origin of the Pinotage to making sure we had a wonderful bottle of Graham Beck for our unforgettable dinner when visiting Victoria Falls. Quinton taught us how to adjust how we look at things on safari, enabling us to absorb and appreciate all aspects of life in the bush. We will always treasure his experience and if fortunate enough to return will most certainly look to Quinton to guide us once again!

Hi Quinton
Derek and I would like to thank so much for all the historical information and jokes you provided to us on our recent tour of your wonderful country. We weren't sure what to expect as we had never done anything remotely like this before but it is a holiday we will never forget and exceeded all of our expectations.. We loved the safari and probably like most people had only seen the big 5 animals in the zoo !! It was truly amazing we loved the whole adventure and our only disappointment was we couldn't stay longer.
It was a trip of a lifetime for us to do a safari and it was made all the more satisfying for us thanks to your expertise.
Many thanks

My husband and I originally booked a safari outside of Cape Town. The package provided transportation to and from the reserve. We had no expectations for the driver. In the end, we were blown away by our driver, Quinton. Quinton has a vast knowledge of everything and he went above and beyond to provide us with an unforgettable South African experience. Quinton planned out site seeing day tours that were packed full with activities, great food and lovely wines. We would highly recommend Quinton to anyone and everyone.

Quinton picked us up from Cape Town at 6am and drove us to Inverdoorn reserve in his very comfortable Discovery. The 2 hour drive flew by as he provided us with a wealth of information about the history of South Africa past and present.Having arrived at the reserve we had a look around and then enjoyed a delicious breakfast. Quinton drove us back to Cape Town by a different route and again provided us with a wealth of information about the countryside.We thoroughly enjoyed our day and felt that it was excellent value for money

I often think back fondly about the time we spent together.
It was truly the trip of a lifetime and if I ever do a safari again, I'll be sure to track you down. All the Best.

Having just returned to the UK we wanted to say a very big “thank you” to yourself and Quinton for all the wonderful trips and Sanbona Safari that you organised for us.

Dear QuintonNow I am safely home and back to ordinary life, I just wanted to say a huge thank you for a very extraordinary holiday and your part in it. I have had dozens of holidays with different companies in many parts of the world, but this was the best. You worked so hard to look after our many needs and requests, and added a whole other dimension to the programme arranged with information, commentary, humour, extra experiences and care. Even during my extended 3 days I followed your suggestions of what to see and do and that was very good too.
You turned a very good holiday into a very special holiday by ‘quintonizing ‘it. I would surely like to return to South Africa.
With thanks.

I think I can speak for everyone when I say that we all had an amazing experience on the safari. It was very organized and comfortable and I enjoyed every minute of it. Your knowledge and input made it a very special experience and I would recommend you to anyone who was interested on going on a safari. Thank you so much for everything and feel free to use any of my comments on your website. Keep in touch.

You speak with such poetry about Africa.
What a powerful message you have given about the balance and symmetry of nature. Your insights provided a thoughtful commentary to the beauty, vastness and depth of this land.
A million thanks for sharing part of yourself and your country with us. We will treasure it forever!
When you come to San Francisco I will take you on a special tour of the Golden Gate Bridge.
Thank you!
