Namibia is one of the most diverse countries in Africa: breath-taking landscapes, intense colours, an abundance of animals and plants, a country filled with sheer natural beauty, prolific wildlife, remote wilderness, and great conservation. It also has the highest dunes in the world and Africa’s biggest canyon. “Climb the highest sand dunes in the world. Descend to the floor of the deepest canyon in Africa. Immerse yourself in the past at one of the Africa’s richest rock art sites, and watch wildlife shimmer against one of the most spectacular pans on earth. Explore the oldest, driest desert in the world and take time to listen to the silence and to your soul.” Like the diamonds mined here, Namibia is a true gemstone waiting to be discovered.
Etosha is one of Africa’s great wildlife parks and Namibia’s prime wilderness conservation area. It holds one of the largest populations of black rhino in the world and unlike other parks, where you can spend days looking for animals, Etosha’ s charm lies in its ability to bring the animals to you.
Measuring 27 kilometres wide, 550 metres deep and 160 kilometres long, the spectacular Fish River Canyon is the second largest canyon in the world and one of Africa’s greatest natural wonders. There is nowhere else in Africa where you will find anything quite like Fish River Canyon.
The eastern expanses are dominated by the Kalahari Desert; And to top it off – the contrast of the lush forest vegetation of the Zambezi region, part of the KAZA Transfrontier National Park.
Damaraland is one of the country’s most spectacular regions with vast, arid plains that are intersected by sudden towering outcrops. One of the main attractions is the picturesque Brandberg, Namibia’s highest mountain, which is home to thousands of ancient rock paintings – most notably the White Lady. You can also visit the Petrified Forest, which offers a haunting landscape of gigantic, fossilised tree trunks that can be dated back 280 million years.
The Namib Desert is one of the world’s oldest and most striking deserts, stretching along Namibia’s Atlantic coastline and defined by its vast open spaces and dramatic scenery. It is characterised by endless gravel plains, towering sand dunes and shifting colours that change with the light, creating a landscape of raw, timeless beauty. The Namib is home to uniquely adapted wildlife and plant life, as well as iconic landmarks such as Sossusvlei, the Skeleton Coast and ancient desert valleys.
The Skeleton Coast is a desolate, hauntingly beautiful stretch of Namibia's northern Atlantic coastline, famous for its dense fog, treacherous surf, numerous shipwrecks (like the Eduard Bohlen), whale bones, and unique desert-adapted wildlife (elephants, rhinos) within the Skeleton Coast National Park. It's a stark, wild place where towering dunes meet the sea.

This was our 10th visit to South Africa organised by Mike and his team and each time we have had the most amazing holiday with faultless organisation and planning of our trip.Thanks again to Mike,we will be booking again very soon Gary and Sharon RogersonPosted on Google Jason McIvorTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Mike was a pleasure to deal with, easy to work with and the organisation was exceptional We need 6 adults organised in 5 different locations from Cape Town east to Amakhala and west again within a 12 day road trip Mike's understanding of the country and the what we should see while there led us to sume truly amazing parts of the garden route including Hermanus, Plettenberg Bay and Simbavati Fynbos on Sea Couldn't and wouldn't change anything about a trip of a lifetime for my wife's 50thPosted on Google John&Linda MottramTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Enjoyed a fantastic two week self driving tour of Eswatini (former Swaziland) and Kwa Zulu Natal, in February 2026, organised by Cape Tours. This was my third trip through Cape Tours in South Africa and it was similarly well organised with excellent hospitality facilities and organisation. South Africa can be a challenging environment and the thoroughness and knowledge of the locality by the tour operator is essential for a successful trip. The recommended Hotels did not disappoint, similarly the road journeys between different locations were easily negotiated even where some of the roads were not 'sealed'. Our purpose was to view historical sites, but wildlife, sea life, environmental and cultural experiences are also well provided. At this time of Middle East disruption to travel and European congestion and expense, South Africa and other African locations at reasonable cost, is a very affordable alternative. Cape Tours would always be my own choice.Posted on Google Sue StanhopeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Absolutely amazing company. Extremely knowledgeable and professional. Able to give insightful local knowledge. We have used this company 4 times and they have always been exemplary as has all the accommodations they have booked for us.

We’ve used Cape Tours a number of times over the years, they know so many great properties and can advise pros and cons easily to help make quick decisions over the phone for great holidays. Our last trip I literally emailed Mike what I wanted and within a day we had booked; our go to for SA. Highly recommended!Posted on Google Sinead BrutonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our tour was called A taste of South Africa and it definitely left you wanting to come back for more. Everyday we experienced the wow factor with a view, location or accommodation. Mike asked what we were interested in and our trip far exceeded our expectations. The detailed itinerary was excellent and gave you a sense of security travelling in a new country. Mike’s directions were better than google maps the directions to each new location was faultless. All the accommodation we stayed in had something special about them and his recommendations for places to visit and eat were excellent Mike’s love , knowledge and experience of South Africa enabled him to give us a fully immersive experience of the country. This really was a holiday of a lifetime and would not have happened without Mike and his team.Posted on Google Anne cTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

We have booked with Cape Tours on many occasions and have had excellent service. They have suggested very good places to stay which we would not find if trying to do this ourselves. Flights and cars arranged too. If any information required they are on hand to help. Thank you very much for your help with our holidays.Posted on Google Keith GreenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. As I frequent traveller to Southern Africa I would not take a trip without the backing of Cape Tours. This is a completely reliable and trustworthy travel company who have never let me down. They only book quality accommodation, reliable hire cars and reputable airlines. They are completely flexible, allowing you to arrange a trip to your exact requirements. Then, whilst on holiday, local help is only a phone call away. I cannot recommend Cape Tours highly enough.Posted on Google J PTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Returning customers! Mike takes the hassle out of planning a trip. He listens to what you would like, and arranges your trip accordingly(making suggestions that you haven't even thought about). His local knowledge is invaluable, to helping you make wonderful memories. We had wonderful time in Cape Town, and the Western Cape. He arranged international, internal flight, car rental and accommodation at the Waterfront. I have no reservations recommending Cape tours, to plan an unforgettable trip.
