Fantastic trip and great organisation. Everything worked as it was planned. I loved South Africa and if I have to travel again I will definitely do it with Travel Cafe.

Excellent in all aspects. I booked three activities with The Travel Cafe to try and get the most out of my week, which I certainly did. Francois responded to all of my queries quickly and knowledgeably, which made booking easy. The Peninsula Tour and Hop on Bus were both excellent things to do and great value for money, and though my kayaking had to be cancelled due to safety concerns, I received a refund in person the same day and still had a great day climbing Table Mountain - and great night, thanks to the range of bar and restaurant recommendations Francois included with my information. I will definitely be returning to Cape Town and will definitely come to The Travel Cafe first for activities and information.

I have always dreamed of going to Namibia, but found planning the trip quite overwhelming and because I could only take one week off from my busy schedule for the trip I wanted to make sure I get it right. It’s not that easy to just “redo” it all. Francois and JD at The Travel Cafe worked very closely with my husband and me to find out what we wanted to see and experience on our trip, and then designed a holiday that checked all of our boxes - and many more. There is no way we would have been able to find some of the things that turned out to be the biggest highlights of our trip. Unless we spent days or weeks hunched over our computers researching the trip, but both of us are too busy for that. I was - almost literally - breathless when I saw our luxury camp in the middle of the Namibian desert under endless starry skies, and waking up with the sight of an Oryx just metres away. This was a true bucketlist trip for me, thank you so much François and JD for making that dream come true.

Just returned from a fortnight trip to SA with family. Prior to going I had many email and WhatsApp conversations with JD who was extremely helpful with things to see and do in Cape Town and the garden route with all his suggestions being excellent. These guys really know their stuff and recommend places on their own experiences. I would definitely return to South Africa and next time I will use these guys to help plan the whole trip.
Try them, I think you will be pleased you did.
Thank you JD

I've just come back from a week in Cape Town travelling with my 11 year-old son. The team at the Travel Cafe were excellent in giving me endless of helpful information and booked us for some amazing experiences and tours including a not-to-be-missed Township tour. They clearly know Cape Town and it's people inside out which was evident when arranging some of our trips. I also found it easy dealing with JD who replied to my queries without delays and always with helpful advice.

It’s the personal touch that makes the difference. This was our first trip to South Africa and we wanted to experience a wide variety of what it has to offfer, made extra complicated by having a toddler in tow. JD and Francois made an effort to get to know us, our tastes and what we liked doing before putting together a suggested itinerary which still had enough options for us to choose from so it felt like we were in control of our trip. We had a fantastic two and a half week trip and visited and stayed in some fantastic places; much of that is down to the Travel Cafe....we will definitely be back.

Thanks to the awesome JD and François for making my Bachelorette’s Weekend in Cape Town so much fun! I really appreciate all the input and ideas of fun things to do in the area. Snorkeling with the seals at Hout Bay was the highlight of the trip and something I would never have considered if you didn’t recommend it. I will definitely be making use of your wonderful service during my next trip to the Mother City!

I have been to Cape Town a few times - but this time was different. Coming back home (Gauteng) for my sisters wedding, we had her 2-day bachelorette in Cape Town. I wanted to make sure it was perfect and that we make the most of our little time there. The Travel Cafe made it possible to have the best bachelorette weekend ever without the hassle of booking and planning and phone calls and e-mails and cancelling and rescheduling and and and. Our weekend was filled with something naughty and something nice. Thank you JD and François - I will treasure that weekend forever. Couldn’t have done it without you.
