Cape Town Backpacker Tours
Afrique du Sud Backpackers has a up-to-date, well organised and informed tour desk that will be able to help you with any adventure you might want to go on.
We can book day trips, overland tours or car hire for you at a very competative price. We also have our finger on the pulse of backpacking South Africa and can offer good advise on where to go to and what to see (also what to avoid).
Here is a taster of our top sellers out the Afrique Du Sud tour desk:
Cape
Point
Tours are conducted by qualified guides who provide entertaining commentary. Begin with breakfast and a drive along the Atlantic seaboard to Hout Bay where you can visit Duiker Island – home to a Cape Fur Seal colony. Visit the penguins at Boulders Beach before heading off to the Cape Point Nature Reserve. Enjoy a picnic lunch and explore the area on bicycles. Take a walk out to Cape Point, the southwestern-most tip of Africa. The tour concludes with a stop at Gina's African Art.
Cape
Winelands
We arrange a day-tour of four world class wine estates in the Stellenbosch, Franshhoek and Paarl winelands. Tastings suit both amateurs and connoisseurs. The tour includes a full cellar tour, a la carte lunch and salami, olive and cheese tastings. Magnificent views of the winelands and the Cape Peninsula can be enjoyed from various points along the route.
Township
Tours
We offer a choice of 2 half-day tours that will give you an insight into the lives of township dwellers. The first township cultural experience takes you to the District Six Musuem, Langa, the oldest township in Cape Town, an African cooking school and to visit a Sangoma, a traditional healer. The second is a walking tour that will help you understand the spirit of sharing and giving that exists in the townships.
Shark
Cage-diving
Go on a trip to Dyer Island to see these misunderstood creatures of the sea. 'Shark Alley' teems with great white sharks, especially during the winter months. If you're feeling timid, go on a boat trip and watch the curious sharks approach after being lured by sardine chum. If you're feeling otherwise, don some scuba or snorkelling gear and descend into the water to confront the sharks face to face. But from behind bars. Speak to the staff at Afrique's travel desk to arrange Shark cage-diving.
Overland

We can offer the intrepid traveller 44 different tour options for travelling
through Africa. Choose from camping or accommodated trips around Southern
Africa, East Africa, Madagascar or Ethiopia.
Trips are led by enthusiastic, qualified guides in secure, comfortable trucks.
