Iconic Experiences, Privately Guided
From the panoramic summit of Table Mountain to the wild cliffs of Cape Point, Cape Town offers natural beauty that rivals any safari landscape. Our private guides lead tailored outings along the Cape Peninsula, through charming fishing villages, and to Boulders Beach for an intimate view of African penguins. For travelers seeking adventure, we can arrange shark cage diving, sea kayaking with seals, or paragliding over the Atlantic—all timed to avoid crowds and maximize your experience.
Martin Meyer Safaris does not adhere to strict schedules while in Cape Town, while many operators will insist that you are at Table Mountain by 9, the Bo-Kaap by 11 and back at the hotel by 5pm - we take a very different approach. It is your Cape Town Tour, so it should be on your schedule. Our Touring in the Mother City and beyond adopts a go-as-you-please schedule. Our Guides are the best in the industry, they will make suggestions and tailor make each day based on what your interests are; because we don't rush you from one sight to the next, you can fully immerse yourself in the moment.
Culture, Wine, and World-Class Cuisine
A Martin Meyer Cape Town and Safari Tour goes beyond sightseeing. Stroll through the colorful Bo-Kaap district, learn South Africa’s history on a private Robben Island visit, and indulge in a curated wine tasting in the nearby Stellenbosch and Franschhoek winelands. Our team secures priority reservations at Cape Town’s top restaurants and arranges chef-led cooking classes, transforming your visit into a gourmet journey that complements your wildlife adventure.
Luxury and Relaxation After the Bush
Cape Town provides the perfect setting to unwind after thrilling game drives. Choose from boutique hotels and private villas with panoramic ocean or mountain views, each selected to match the elegance of Africa’s best safari lodges. Whether you’re sipping sundowners on a private terrace or enjoying a spa day before your flight home, every element of your Private Cape Town Tour is designed for comfort and style.
