Fabulous day trips exploring Cape Town and the Western Cape - Words can not describe how fabulous our two days with Kembo were - he started as a guide and finished as a friend and part of our family Day 1 was Table Mountain, Bo-Kaap and the Langa township where we had a fabulous local lunch. Day 2 Hout Bay, Chapmans Peak Drive, Cape of Good Hope, Boulders Beach, Simon’s Toen for lunch and a sneaky wine tasting at Groot Constantine on the trip back To say he is a fountain of knowledge does him an injustice, we talked about the geology, history, wine, food, local politics, photography, load shedding, chatgpt, fauna etc, I tried hard to catch him out and failed miserably!!! If you are in need of a guide for Cape Town and the Western Cape look no further than Kembo, a trip with him to Namibia has now been added to my bucket list Thank you Duncan, Sharon, Molly, Ben and Abbie

A guide worth writing a review for. Worth every penny. - Kempo is top-tier. Every driver we met does “tours” but he is in a different class. Knowledgeable, fun to be around and more than anything else: accommodating. He’ll take care of you and whoever you go with. He enabled my elderly mother enjoy more of the cape by getting as close to sites as possible. He steered us away from shady vendors and directed us to unique items to share at home. His knowledge extended beyond that day because our final and only elf the best meals in Africa was his recommendation. A good man and a superb guide.

A wonderful day with Kembo - We had a convenient ship terminal pick up with a neat and comfy vehicle and returned well in time for Ship deadline. Kembo was well informed about many topics our inquiring minds asked along with his own history and comments. He used to be a guide in multiple countries in South Africa so he was well informed about the whole area. We wished we’d had another day to spend with him. His knowledge of getting around, missing lines and traffic was great! We highly recommend him to cruisers who wish a more personal experience than bus travels.

Brilliant day, brilliant tour guide - Kembo was absolutely amazing, such a great, knowledgeable man. He was so friendly and accommodating to myself and my husband. We will contact Kembo when we visit Cape Town again. Wouldn't use anyone else. We visited Hout Bay, Chapman's Peak, Cape of Good Hope, nature reserve, Nordhook Village, Groot Constantia Winery and the penguins. Absolutely brilliant day, with a brilliant guide

Amazing experience - Visited South Africa for work and wanted to squeeze in a bit of sight seeing on my last day there ..the half day tour was exceptional and more than worth the money! The views were breathtaking.. the guide, Kembo, was top class.. so friendly, knowledgeable, paid attention to our needs and got us back on time! Do it if you're there with little time..and ask for Kembo :)

Excellent half day tours penguins and peninsula - Kembo the guide was simply brilliant, he was very friendly super knowledgeable and got us to the right spots at the right time. The tour itself which was a half day tour covered all the major attractions so in 4-5 hours to see penguins colony, cape of good hope, cape point and stop at some beautiful scenic places just topped it off nicely.
