Explore the best of Cape Town, South Africa

Hello, explorers of the Cape. 🏖️⛰️🍷 Join me on an unforgettable 5-day adventure as we explore the best of Cape Town and its surrounds. As a local Capetonian, I am thrilled to show you why this breathtaking city is the most beautiful in the world. Cape Town is a city of contrasts, with stunning beaches, majestic mountains, and a rich cultural heritage. It is a place where you can surf and hike in the morning, enjoy a delicious meal at a world-class restaurant in the afternoon, and catch a sunset from a rooftop bar in the evening. With a vibrant art scene, diverse neighborhoods, and a friendly and welcoming atmosphere, Cape Town will blow your mind and will make you come back for more, guaranteed. I'm looking for 4 – 8 intrepid travelers who want to experience the authentic and natural beauty of Cape Town and its surroundings. Having lived here my entire life, I have become intimately familiar with the city and its surroundings, always on the lookout for hidden gems and off-the-beaten-path experiences. During this trip, you'll have the opportunity to experience truly unique and unforgettable places, from hidden swimming spots and secret sundowner locations, to curated foodie destinations and beautiful and cozy overnight accommodations. We'll travel in a Kombi and combine beautiful accommodations out in nature at beautiful hand-picked sites and comfortable BnBs. South Africa provides amazing value for money, and sharing this trip will get you even more bang for your buck. Get ready to discover the hidden treasures of Cape Town and its surroundings! 🙋‍♂️ And who am I? My name is Olaf, and I'll be your Facilitator, Driver, hiking partner, motivator, debating and sing-along buddy adventure wingman, plus hopefully a good friend during and after the trip. I was born and raised in South Africa. My Parents are both German, and I was lucky enough to visit the German School in Cape Town, basically making me an Incognito German. I've been a Dog sledding guide in Norway, Overland Chef and Guide all through southern and eastern Africa, Sailor throughout the Mediterranean, ran my own German-style Food truck in Cape Town, and have done more road trips to every part of South Africa than I can remember. I'm also a qualified tour guide for Cape Town, with an emphasis on wine tours. :) I love good food and will be cooking up a storm and braaing (barbecuing) lovely delicious South African classics over the fire most nights.😊 Sharing my beautiful country, and making meaningful connections whilst exploring this multi-faceted land, is the main motivation behind offering this trip. I feel most alive on the road, meeting interesting individuals, having lively conversations at the campfire, and feeling the exhilarating drive of adventure.🌏 We commence on this trip as soon as 4 people are joining. I'm looking for outgoing and adventurous people who are not afraid to get a little dirty here and there and live for telling a good story at the end of it all. Couples are welcome, and we would book accommodations accordingly. 💰 What's included in the price? 🛖 All Accommodations are included, from Luxury Airbnb in Cape Town to a rustic Room in the Karoo and a rustic cottage along the sea. Depending on the number of people, we will be sharing rooms and 🚙 All Transport is included in the Trip 🥑 Most of the Food is included. Please read the more detailed description of the itinerary for more info. 💰 What is not included? — Park entry fees and other activities are not included in the price. — Alcohol and restaurants are not included in the price. — All other activities can be arranged and are to be paid for individually. There are loads of opportunities for Yoga and mindfulness along the trip. Hiking, swimming, sunbathing, and many more activities can also be enjoyed in spectacular scenery. If all this has tickled your fancy, just contact me, and we can get to know each other over a video call, and I'll answer all your questions. P.S.: There are also opportunities to get some remote work done. South Africa has pretty decent Internet and plenty of awesome beach spots to get all the inspiration you need. I'm a digital nomad myself these days and also work on the road here and there. Some additional info about South Africa: ☀ Weather and Climate: The weather in Cape Town is very comparable with the south of Spain or Portugal. We have a Mediterranean climate. Winter rain and summer dry with loads of wind. April is Autumn, and it's off-season, so not too many tourists. The weather is still warm but can get pretty chilly in the evenings, especially if we get some cold fronts moving in. Being a shoulder month, it is still one of the best times to visit Cape Town. We have both the Indian and Atlantic oceans surrounding the Cape but expect the water to be very icy. As we head off to the interior of the country, expect the days to get quite hot and the nights to be cold. On the eastern coastline, starting from the wilderness, the climate becomes more tropical and warm. The ocean also becomes considerably warmer as we move up north-easterly. Expect the nights to still get quite cold. ✈ Entry requirements for South Africa (COVID-19 and Visa): For EU citizens and almost all other European or North American Passport holders, you get a Visa on arrival for 3 months, which you can normally extend by another 3 months without any problems.
