Experience the best of
Cape Town with Withlocals

"I had such a great hike with Veliswa and I really appreciated all the safety measures she took to ensure a safe hike. I also enjoyed learning a lot about the land and it’s culture. And she was generous enough to ensure a convenient pickup and drop off and also answer all my curious questions about SA culture. "

"Thanks, for a nice experience, receiving fantastic view on top of Lionshead. Veliswa also is a nice person to spend time with. She is strongly recommended as a tourguide."

"Kobus was a great guide! From picking us up and dropping of on time, getting the gear that fitted well to a super nice experience in the water - he was very attentive to my mom during snorkeling and dived with me to slightly deeper depth! Cape Town from the underneath the service is as gorgeous! Highly recommend!"

"I booked the snorkeling with Kobus towards the end of my stay in South Africa - and it was the perfect end to my trip. He was a perfect host and guided me safely and relaxed through the water and the kelp forest - despite the not perfect visibility underwater ;). I added a dive afterwards as I felt very comfortable and wanted more. Thanks to the tips for the rest of my short stay and the conversations out of the water between snorkeling and diving, I quickly felt welcome and like I was among friends. Definitely recommendable!"

"My wife and I did the discover scuba dive experience with Kobus in Long beach in Simon’s Town. He made us feel at ease with the gear and what we were doing, we went 6 meters deep and practised the basic skills needed for this experience. He was very patient with us as it is really really hard work to deal with to inexperienced people underwater and he did it the best i could imagine, my wife tended to float and he was with her all the time, calming her down and helping her get the right breathing to stay down and she loved it! We even saw an octopus and three puffadder shysharks!. I would definitively recommend him to any of my friends who are scuba divers or anybody who wants to try the experience coming to Cape Town! Thank you so much Kobus!"

"Veliswa made hike to Table Mountain unforgettable. She is a nice person hiking with, and we reached the top in nice weather and pleasent pace."

"Veli was great and did her best to keep our spirits up as the weather closed in. Unfortunately it wasn't safe enough to complete the hike, but I look forward to my next CT trip to hook up with her again and finish it!"

"Kobus is a fantastic guide. He was checking the best location for our snorkeling and made it a fantastic experience. But not only that. After the snorkeling he showed us the best penguin spots and provided us with a lot of useful infos. The best diving spots around and what to find there, where to park and safety instructions. He also was helpful with renting some weights for us. Thanx to Kobus we not only had the booked snorkel trip but a lot freediving/snorkeling sessions because of his infos. "

"The kelp forest was great and I think an enjoyable experience even if one doesn't see any sea creatures.We felt like we were completing a task like in the Harry Potter movie. We did see an octopus and even a penguin though. We had a really nice time. Kobus was great - easy to be around and super helpful. He took us to a great bakery down the coast and even gave us great food recommendations for later. "
