the best thing that can happen to you
If you want to have an unforgettable and incomparable holiday in Southern Arfica, you absolutely must book African Sun Tours. It's the best thing that can happen to you! I was given great advice in advance on what we can best look at and how to combine. Leonard is an insider, very polite, attentive and super nice! Not only did he grow up in Southern Arfica, he has the best connections ever, and you can look forward to a delicious meal in unforgettable locations where others - even locals - would never have gotten the best table, but Leonard makes it possible for you. Likewise, you don’t have to wait in line at the cable car on Table Mountain forever, Leonard takes the Fast Lanes for you. It was also important for us to only get to know the sunny sides of Cape Town, and so we learned a lot about the townships and saw it. If you want, you can also get very close to the baboons (baboons) and thanks to Leonard it is safe and you absolutely need not be afraid. If I haven't convinced you yet, I recommend checking out Leonard's posts on LinkedIn. My heartfelt thanks to Leonard. We like to think back on the beautiful time and hopefully come back soon.

Professionally good.
Leonard was not only a polite and courteous guide for us, but also a very knowledgeable and motivating person for our tour. We really enjoyed travelling with him and received a lot of additional information from him. Thank you very much for that. Best regards Svenja and Holger

Outstanding tour and best guide!
We want to share our enthusiastic recommendation for African Sun Tours. We recently returned from a trip planned and executed by Leonard, and our experience was truly exceptional. From the initial consultation, where he expertly tailored a perfect tour for us, seamless execution of every detail and his service was impeccable. Furthermore, his attention to detail regarding logistics-transportation, meals, and our activities was evident in every aspect of the day. Which allowed us to relax and fully immerse ourselves in the incredible beauty and wonder of Africa. We felt completely cared for throughout our travels, and we believe that African Sun Tours provides an unparalleled level of service and expertise. WE HIGHLY encourage you to contact them and discuss your travel plans; you won’t be disappointed. Cathy & Jaime
Response from the operator: Dear Cathy & Jaime, thank you for the lovely review - much appreciated!

Why this scores 72
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Amazing Safari at Game Reserve in Cape Town - see the Big5: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Stellenbosch.
How much does Amazing Safari at Game Reserve in Cape Town - see the Big5 cost?
+
Prices start at $381 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Stellenbosch usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Amazing Safari at Game Reserve in Cape Town - see the Big5 take?
+
Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Stellenbosch is not rushed.
Is Amazing Safari at Game Reserve in Cape Town - see the Big5 worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Stellenbosch, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Amazing Safari at Game Reserve in Cape Town - see the Big5?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Amazing Safari at Game Reserve in Cape Town - see the Big5 suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Amazing Safari at Game Reserve in Cape Town - see the Big5?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Stellenbosch can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Stellenbosch and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Amazing Safari at Game Reserve in Cape Town - see the Big5 start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Stellenbosch within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Stellenbosch?
+
On Outty we rank every Stellenbosch experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Full Day Afrivista Wine Tours from Stellenbosch, Cape Town Wine Tour: Stellenbosch & Franschhoek +Tastings & Lunch, Private Day Tour to Cape Point , Penguins, Wine or Beer Tasting. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Stellenbosch?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Stellenbosch?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
