Excellent trip with John who took us to each place on time and gave us information about the animals and the places we drove through. Yes it might have been cheaper to organise it ourselves but John’s local knowledge and easy going attitude made for a great trip. Car was comfortable. The lion park and giraffes were absolutely wonderful to visit. I would recommend this tour company to others.

Beautiful and educational day tour. The cheetah, crocodile, and giraffe encounters were amazing, and every guide we met was so passionate about the animals. Highly recommend!
I wish I could give this tour more than five stars! It was perfect in every way! My guide, John, helped me feel comfortable and safe. He knew exactly what he was doing. I loved driving through the African countryside as well as interacting with the animals. John kept me to the schedule without seeming pushy at all and went out of his way to answer my many questions. Feeding the giraffes, holding baby tortoises and petting the cheetah were all just amazing. I don’t drink so I was so happy to have this tour offered where the vineyards were optional, not mandatory. Just what I was looking for!
We were lucky to book this once in a lifetime trip to a Giraffe Enclosure, Crocodile Farm and Outreach Cheetah experience today. Our guide John wax excellent making sure the day ran like clockwork. Definitely a day to remember 1 would highly recommend it!
Epic tour! Highlights were the Crocodile, Giraffe, and especially the Cheetah experience - got up close and personal! Highly recommend this wild day out!.
We visited Cheetah Encounter, Giraffe and Crocodile Farm, followed by a quick wine tasting stop at Fairview. Thanks Samuel, for a great tour!
The giraffe house was really fun as you got to feed the giraffes and was able to see some different animals that we did not see on our safaris. The cheetah encounter was amazing as we got to actually pet the cheetah. The crocodile tour was just ok. John our driver went above and beyond his duties as he stopped at the Lord Charles Hotel where my husband had left a dress shirt. The hotel told us to come back in a couple of hours while they looked for it and John was courteous enough to take us back there to retrive the shirt.
Hit 3 zoos, 1 hour from Cape Town? Yep, happened! Huge thanks to Tour Guide Richard and the team for making it wild and seamless!
We had a fantastic tour that started on time, and everything was well-organized from start to finish. Many thanks to our driver/guide, Samuel, who did an excellent job!
We had an amazing time on this 8-hour tour! We visited the giraffe house, crocodile farm, and Chitah Encounter, and each stop was better than the last. The giraffe house , the Chitah Encounter and the crocodile farm guide was an incredible storyteller! Thanks to the tour company for organizing everything so well - it was a fantastic experience!
I was blown away by the expertise of the guides at each location! The giraffe house was a great introduction to these gentle giants, and the crocodile farm was both scary and fascinating. But the highlight of the day was definitely the Chitah Encounter - those animals are incredible. The tour was well-organized, and the transportation was smooth.
This tour was a great way to see a variety of animals in a short amount of time. The guides at each location were friendly and informative. I loved the interactive experiences, like feeding the giraffes and getting a close-up look at the crocodiles. The Chitah Encounter was a bit rushed, but still impressive. Overall, a great value for the price. Would definitely recommend!
Getting up close with these gentle giants was a dream. The Crocodile Farm was jaw-dropping (pun intended!), and the Chital deer encounter was pure serenity. Can't wait to come back!"
Unforgettable encounters with incredible animals! My friend and I had an amazing time at the Giraffe and Chittah Encounter, feeding and petting these majestic creatures. and so interesting by learning about crocodile's life style !
An experienced driver and tour guide for all the three different stop we had. i would like to recommend who ever wants to choose this tour. The restaurant also was amazing at crocodile farm!
Feeding and interacting with giraffe and cheetah was a highlight of my tour. Lunch at the Stellenbosch wine farm was also a great choice - it was wonderful! Thank you so much for organizing everything!
Perfect day for kids. Richard was a perfect guide, present without being overbearing and just a super person to have along for the day. His choice of winery for lunch was spot on. The teen loved being so close to the animals and learning about their conservation and protection. Would absolutely recommend.
What a fun day! Giraffes, crocs and cheetahs! Richard was a lovely guide, very friendly, knowledgeable and an all around great person to have along for the day! His choice of winery for lunch was spot on - such a lovely spot. Thank you Richard for a lovely day - my teen absolutely loved being so close to wildlife and learning about their conservation and protection. Win win!
