Best guided tour of the Swartberg area, we had a full day tour with Jan our guide and covered a big area through beautiful scenery, he was very informative and passionate about his country and their people, great history lesson for us, and so knowledgeable about the birds, flora and fauna, and geology of the area, stopping to take amazing photographs, and enjoy the scape, it was a great tour.

It was a great experience (actually my first one), very didactic and complete. I had the privilege of seeing the constellation of Orion and Scorpio at the same time.

We spent a whole day with Lynette in the Swartberg mountains and Cango Caves. It’s a stunning place, and being guided around made it so much more rewarding. The views are stunning and we even learnt a bit about what we were looking at! Lovely lunch too. Great day.

A truly memorable day tour through the incredibly stunning Swartberg pass. Jan is an exceptional guide and his enthusiasm and knowledge about the mountains, flora and fauna is admirable. We spotted so many beautiful birds, flowers and a very impressive blue headed lizard! We enjoyed a delicious lunch stop in Prince Albert and a bonus stop at a tobacco farm on our way back to Oudtshoorn. Thank you, Jan, for being so lovely and for our excellent day out.

We had the most wonderful trip to the swatberg pass with Stephen. Not only was he incredibly knowledgeable about the area but also knew so much about birds, flowers and the history of the place. Thank you Stephen for a wonderful day out.

We had an amazing weekend in Oudtshoorn,but the highlight of the trip was definitely the stargazing tour. Our guide while being extremely friendly and passionate, was very well equipped and knowledgeable . This definitely enticed our interest in astronomy. Highly recommended
