What travellers are saying
- ramblingman46Manchester, UK91 contributionsI arrived at 7:20am (with the sim to avoid the 1-2hr advertised queues)and was first in the queue. More people turned up before the first cable car at 8:00am.
The cable car holds 64 people and has a rotating floor, so you get great panoramic views on the trip.
I spent about 40 minutes at the top and there was only one other person in the cable car on the way down.
This was a fantastic experience.Written 15 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Our tour guide Kurt was extremely knowledgeable and kept us safe the entire way up the mountain.
Breathing taking views we will never forget.
One of our favourite memories of our trip here and high recommend to anyone thinking of doing this hike to go with Kurt!
Great for older families, couples and single travellers who want to push themselves out their comfort zone.
Thank you once again Kurt for this experience!Written 21 February 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Our game range, Arshlee was amazing - his incredible eyesight, depth and breadth of knowledge and positive energy made for four fantastic game drives.Written 5 February 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

But it was this warning that took me there, to see what makes it dangerous. A few metres into the climb I totally forgot the dangers! The spectacular views of the city and the ocean below, the breathtaking rock formations, the surrounding mountain ranges... wow!
As I used my legs, my arms, my knees, my elbows and my upper body to climb over rocks, I still said; give me a Mountain, any day!Written 16 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Liam10 contributionsExcellent morning with Mike guiding us up India Vester Route. Really knowledgable and friendly, lovely atmosphere the whole way.

- Jodi MAlbuquerque, NM1 contributionThis was the most amazing trip. My husband and I celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary by going to South Africa and we had the most wonderful time. Everyone was friendly and treated us fantastic. When they found out it was our 25th everyone went out the of way to make is so special. Cape Town and our tour guide was so nice and made sure we go to see so many wonderful things. And the Safaris were amazing. Our Guide and Tracker were awesome, they made sure we saw so many different animals on every outing. We tell everyone if you can go do a safari, you will never regret it. We want to go again.Written 4 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Happiness411708124911 contributionA fantastic hike with our fantastic guide Lynette. We recommend it for everyone.

- ThatsMySunbedUK154 contributionsWe have used Rhino Africa now three times for planning safaris in South Africa, Namibia nd Tanzania. This is our fourth trip (17 Feb - 6 March) planned by them.
And thank you, it was a great holiday and a long-awaited visit to the Wine Route. Our experience was beyond all expectation, it was absolutely perfect.
Somehow, Celeste and her team managed to book the rooms with the very best views in every hotel and lodge - from the V&A Waterfront room with views of both Table Mountain and Signal Hill, to Mont Rochelle; the Marine in Hermanus; the lodge at Lekkerwater Beach, Schoone Oordt which turned out to be amazing (and the owners really went out of their way for us), and of course Babylonstoren (and what more can I say about that beautiful estate).
Thank you Celeste, you are a star.
I cannot go without mentioning also your excellent other service providers, Jarat Tours and BLUU; both of whom provided the most friendly and engaging drivers (Richard in the case of BLUU). Europcar provided an upgraded vehicle which turned out to be fortunate; no quibbles on return.
So great work David, Celeste and 'the Rhino Crash'. We look forward to engaging with you again!Written 17 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We were treated with sparkling wine and Mo helped us to take a photos.Written 19 February 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The team at Cape Cobra Hire were helpful and friendly from beginning to end, the car was fun to drive, and the experience of driving an open top V-8 through the Western Cape is like nothing else. Drive Chapman’s Peak down to the Cape of Good Hope for incredible views from the seat of a Cobra and you will have a wonderful time.Written 24 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Kathrina L4 contributionsWe did a private hike your up Lion’s Head with Lauren. She is the best!!! She made sure our young kids (10 and 8 years) had a fantastic time and never got bored hiking up the mountain. She told them so many interesting things, brought snacks and was just so lovely. She even took as for a quick, refreshing dip in the ocean after our hike. We had such an amazing time with her. We can only recommend Lauren and her team!Written 18 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
