Best Cape Town Experience - This private tour was an unforgettable experience! The driver picked us up right on time from our hotel, and we were whisked away. It was so convenient not having to worry about transportation. With the Cheetah Outreach, we learned all about the amazing rehabilitation efforts. It was truly inspiring to see these beautiful animals up close and to understand the important work being done to ensure their survival. Afterward, we headed to the Cape Winelands, which was breathtaking. We visited several wineries and had the chance to taste some fantastic wines. We also had the option to purchase samples, which made it all the more enjoyable. The scenery, the wildlife, and the wines—everything was perfect. Overall, this tour was a unique blend of wildlife conservation and wine tasting, and it was a highlight of our trip. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Cape Town. It's an absolute must-do!

It is worth it! - Excellent service and transfer, unforgettable visit to the sanctuary and having the opportunity to pet that animal! Just like the winery tour, very good wines! It's very worth it.

Cheetah and Wine - This excursion was more than we expected. Our guide Callixte was first class from punctuality to his spotlessly clean car to his approach to ensuring we had the best experience. The Cheetah experience was memorable and the wine tasting phenomenal. With the possibility of doing 4 wine tastings we opted for 2 so we could spend more time at each location and what stunning settings they were, recommended by Callixte. If you get tge opportunity, follow his suggestions, you will not be disappointed.

The trip was lovely Callixte took us around and was very pleasant to speak with and interact - We had an amazing time visiting the AFROGEM Diamond Factory, Cheetahs and the Winelands. Got to pet Cheetahs in the Outreach Program. Eagle Encounters is a must visit when you go to the Winelands.

Cheetah part disappointing. Wineries really great. - The 3 wineries were really lovely. The driver was very nice although his English was very difficult to understand. The Cheetah Refuge was a big disappointment!!! (1) the staff required us to put our bags with our passports and all our credit cards and money in a locker but only the staff members hold the key to the locker. I objected that I would be out of sight of my valuables for 20 minutes and the answer was a robot-like one whereby I was told I would not get to see THE cst. JUST 1 CAT!! The Cheetah part if this trip was our main prime interest. We also could not wear sunglasses while visiting the cat but if we had prescription sunglasses then it wS okay to wear them...so it appears the cat knows the difference. We could not wear a hat but the 2 handlers who were in the cat enclosure with us wore hats...apparently the cat has given his okay for them to wear them. We did understand the need to disinfect our shoes and our hands but the other rules about hats and glasses were stupid. Disappointing! And I am a travel blogger so I will be telling my followers.
