LION’S HEAD CAPE TOWN

Hiking area

👍👍 Love this trail. Did it a couple of times now and really enjoy hiking up especially the upper part where you rather "climb". Running down is super fun so with a normal fitness it takes 45min up and running down half the time. You can buy some water/drinks at the truck parked on the bottom in the par...

African Budget Safaris

Travel agency

👍 Booking experience was flawless although please be aware they don't actually own the safari experience so look for reviews about it elsewhere. In my case it was through Viva Safaris. Everything they arranged happened as expected.

Discover Africa Safaris

👍👍 Turn your South Africa safari trip into the adventure of a lifetime. My wife and I highly recommend planning that Africa sojourn with Megan Warrington of Discover Africa.

👍👍 Juma told us to bring cameras and lots of love.. We had a bespoke tour of Khayelitsha and enjoyed a true local experience. I can’t recommend Juma’s tours highly enough. We left with our camera, hearts & tummies full! We’re still buzzing from our incredible experience! Will definitely be back! Xx

JENMAN African Safaris

😐 The lunch that was prepared and served after long drives by the guide was either raw uncooked hot dogs (I watched him take them from the package and drop into a bowl, not boiling or grilling and we had the resources to do both), spam and bologna along with a token bunch of lettuce some cucumbers and...
