Great day trip - Ian is a great guide and driver. This was a fun trip to a game reserve close to Cape Town followed by an amazing olive tasting and finished in the Darling brewery beer garden. 100%!

Fun Tour from Cape Town! - We went with another couple on the Wildlife, Beer, and Olive Tour with Ian. He picked us up at the cruise port on the last day of our cruise which ended in South Africa. His vehicle was roomy and comfortable enough for all of us fit along with our luggage. He took us to a beautiful beach just outside of Cape Town—a great photo-op with fabulous views of the beach and Table Mountain. Next, we went to Buffelsfontein Game and Nature Reserve. It was our first experience seeing the wild animals in South Africa and we even got to see a black leopard! We then went to Darling Olives for tastings of delicious olive oils, olive paste, and some terrific South African wines. We’d never done an olive oil tasting before, and it was a very pleasant experience. After that, we went to Darling Brew for craft brew tastings and lunch. Both were wonderful. We visited with Ian at lunch, as well as along the way. He’s an interesting and knowledgeable tour guide, easy to talk to. We ended our tour at Darling Sweets for a taste of homemade toffee. They were so good that we bought some for there trip home. Ian was kind enough to drop us at our hotel, and our friends at the airport which saved each of us an Uber ride. It was a great day! If you’re looking for a tour with a variety of fun places to go, go with Ian—highly recommended!

Well done Ian - Everything on this trip went like clockwork with pick up to finish.Driver come owner Ian was a great host and a guy you would go to the pub with.Safari was in a game reserve where the animals were taken care of and great to see them running free.Giraffes,wildebeest.antelope,zebra,ostrich Rhino and many others could be seen up close.The 2 Rhino were absolute stunning and we watched them mowing the grass from about 3 metres away.The olive presentation was very unusual in the way that opened our eyes to jams,marmalades and oils that you didn’t realise existed.Brewery was in a nice spot where we sampled the breweries own beers and luckily the weather was nice to sit out and enjoy.All in all a great trip and probably the best one we will do in Cape Town and wish Ian all the best with this venture.

A great day! - Had a great time with Ian of African Mood Adventures. He picked us up at our airbnb and dropped us off at the end of the day. We had already been on several safari's, but thought this would be fun for the wine, olive, beer tasting and besides, can you ever see enough animals?

Ian was absolutely... - Ian was absolutely amazing! He picked us up promptly from our hotel. Giving us historical info along the route to the nature preserve. He stopped along the way for some amazing photo ops! He got us there early so we could grab food and coffee before the tour started. Then the tour itself was beautiful and picturesque. The guide even referred to Ian for a few facts about the animals, because he’s just that knowledgeable! I can’t wait to do more tours with him in the future! Absolutely great trip! My sister said it was her favorite day of our vacation!

California Girls in the Cape - My friend and I had an amazing day with Ian! Started off at Buffelfonstein and learned about the reserve and South African wildlife. We proceeded to olive tasting which was very informative then lunch at the local brewery. Great way to start our week in Cape Town and would certainly do it again! You won't be disappointed- thank you again, Ian!
