Please make sure before you book as you will not be able to ride on the day if you exceed these limits.** Join us for an unforgettable horse riding safari among South African wildlife. We are great for groups, teambuilding events, and we are a family friendly adventure. We welcome guests from all walks of life and look forward to sharing our unique trail ride with you. We start out by getting you comfortably onto a horse that is most suitable for you, based on weight and previous experience. If you've never ridden before, we show you the basics you'll need for the ride. We set out on a short walk through the farm to the wildlife sanctuary, where we'll spend the next hour and a bit riding through the reserve to view giraffe, wildebeest, zebra, eland, bontebok, springbuck, & other animals, as well as a variety of birdlife, before the return ride back to the farm. Our horses are a South African breed called a boerperd, known for being gentle, calm and brave. The majority of our horses are ridden bitless. In respect to the wildlife in their environment, we are only allowed to go at a walking pace inside the game reserve.

A celebration of smaller vineyards driven by passion, honesty and quality. Our first stop is on the Eastern side of Stellenbosch at the foot of the Helderberg Mountains. This is a special location tucked away in the most northern corner of Paradyskloof (Paradise Valley). Pockets of special vines produce a superlative and memorable first tasting. A journey through the vibrant and tree lined streets of Stellenbosch town is up next. Steeped in history and charm we'll tell a few stories from the time we spent here during our youth before we reach the Banghoek Valley. Breath-taking views set the tone for an unforgettable experience with the focus on letting our guests understand the sense of place and taste. These award winning wines are brilliantly crafted and produced with the help of the location's very own microclimate. I struggle to believe there is a better setting to taste wine anywhere in the country. Lunch then takes place at Boschendal's Farm Deli Restaurant on the oldest estate in the region dating back to 1865. The final destination is at a quaint family owned and run vineyard where we host the tasting privately in their underground cellar below their family home or in their garden often with one of the true matriarch's of the industry and her 5 doggos. 3 different wineries all unique in location, style and charm combining for a true Stellenbosch Winelands experience.

Experience Cape Town like a local and eat, drink, and explore the city through your taste buds. This walking tour combines 2 tours into 1. A city tour and food tour.

I will take you to Boulders Beach the most remarkable viewing point of the African Penguins. These African Penguins have colonies from Southern Namibia and all the way around the South African coast. I will make your experience rewarding as this is the only place where you will be able to swim with the Penguins in close proximity. Penguins are living in the wild and therefore although you get to see them up close and personal there will be no direct contact as I am committed to protecting the welfare of these little guys. The Penguin numbers are fast declining because of overfishing and marine pollution and my goal is teach tourists about our Penguin population, as they are now classified as an endangered species. There is flexibility in photo opportunities along the way, and including stopping to take pictures with the seals. UPON REQUEST WE CAN ADD ONE WINE FARM FOR TASTING. THERE IS AN ADDITIONAL COST AND TIME.
