Our second stop, here you will witness the first hand, art of diamond cutting and the careful craftsmanship of jewelry manufacturing by our skilled experts. All whilst enjoying a complimentary glass of sparkling wine. (OPTIONAL)
Situated on the eastern slopes of Table Mountain, Kirstenbosch is internationally acclaimed as one of the seven most magnificent botanical gardens in the world. The 528 hectares’ estate includes a cultivated garden and a nature reserve. The developed garden displays collections of southern African plants including many rare and endangered species. There are also visitor facilities in the garden including restaurants, a nursery, a gift shop, a bookshop and a permanent Zimbabwean stone sculpture exhibition.
We then proceed to the historical Groot (meaning Big) Constantia wine estate. Groot Constantia is the oldest wine producing farm in South Africa since 1685 and even after the farm had changed ownership, it still maintains the production of high quality, award-winning wine. The farm produces 70% Red and 30% White cultivars. We can recommend a beautiful lunch either at Simon’s Restaurant or at Jonkershuis Restaurant, both set on this exquisite wine estate.
We begin our Simon van der Stel wine tour with Buitenverwachting (meaning Beyond expectation) wine estate. This too, had formed part of the original Constantia farm which was found by Simon van der Stel. Even though it changed ownership, they retraced the roots of the estate and restored the historical buildings on the farm. The farm produces 8 % Red, 90% White and 2 % Rose cultivars.
End of the tour and drop off the guest at their hotel or preferred place around Cape Town Central only.
As other reviews said, this was really just a private driver. Our driver was very nice, but as a solo woman traveler I would want to know what I was booking. We certainly could have gotten a similar experience by taking the hop on hop off red city bus and/or booking an uber for much cheaper.
The tour was most wonderful experience . I am more knowledgeable about roots of the southafrican Freedom movement. We got picked up on time by our driver and given a briefing before our tour. I got mixed reactions when talking to capetonians about visiting Robben Island
Walking through Kristenbosch inspired my senses and the Constantia wine tasting capped it off with rich aromatic wines. I can't wait to go back for more Garden wine magic
-From the stunning flora at Kirstenboch to the elegant wine callers of Constantia the tour was perfect blend of nature and indulgence. I'd recommend it to anyone wanting sensony adventure.
I had an absolute blast at Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens and the Constantia wine tasting tour! The gardens are lush, the plants are mind‑blowing, and the wine at Constantia tasted like pure heaven. Definitely a must‑do for any nature‑lover with a palate for fine wine
We went on this lovely garden it’s beautiful to spend time there , my grandma always wish to be here it’s so adorable with fresh air. Thanks for Safari Private Tours to treat us nicely
Beautiful gardens. We took the 90 minute guided tour which was very enlightening. The volunteer had great information and was very willing to share her expertise.
The wine testing and botanical garden was just amazing. The driver picard me on time and behaved kindly all the way ghroughout the tour. I enjoyed his knowledgeable explanations and his driving skills. I would recommend this company to everyone visiting Cape Town
This was billed as a “tour” but it was not. Instead of a tour guide as we expected, we had a driver who dropped us off at the Kirstenbosch Garden and then dropped us off at the winery before taking us back to the hotel. So what did we pay $300 for? We could have used Uber for under $50. Visiting these sites was very enjoyable but there was no added value for booking this “tour.” We could have saved lot of money by arranging transportation ourselves.
It was raining on our scheduled tour day, but we still had a fantastic time! Our driver was great. We highly recommend this tour!
I will be happy, That is the dream that I was having since I was a child, So now I feel like my dream wanna come thrue. And I hope will be true.
Kirstenbosch gardens is an amazing place for scenery and lovely place that me and my wife enjoy the garden walk as well as the restaurant’s wine
The view were one of the best as the weather was perfect and the people were amazing .and there is som much nice things to do while you are there
Safari group is a travel company I can proudly recommend ; they give a personal touch to all your needs. They provided to me and my family good service
Thé trip was very spécial ,my family were so surprises how we were welcomed to SA.thx to the team wich makes our Dreams to the reality
We thoroughly enjoyed the garden, despite the weather. Our “guide” however was just a driver. Car was nice, he was a lovely guy & punctual, but this was not a guided tour. He drove us & dropped us.
Fantastic guy taking you to fantastic places!! We traveled to see African gems, a Fort and the oldest vineyard in Africa.
It was a beautiful park but unfortunately a month too early in the year. few flowers to be seen, but the garden was beautifully landscaped. Very relaxing and still took many beautiful photos.
Excelente servicio, el guía muy amable y pendiente de lo que necesitáramos. Los jardines botánicos hermosos, gran tour
