- 8maxr0 contributionsExcellent Experience--Chalula made the Trip to Cape Town GreatAlain and Chalula private tours was a phenomenal experience. I worked with Alain to put together a comprehensive package that included airport pick-up, drop-off, a full day private tour of Cape Town, as well as an extensive full day tour of the Winelands. Prince, our driver and tour guide, was professional, punctual, and accommodating. The SUV used was also clean and spacious. It was mine and my wife’s first time to Cape Town and Prince was very open to modifying the itinerary as we went through the day and learned where we wanted to spend our time. We are very grateful for our friend’s recommendation to connect us with Alain and Chalula tours. Minimizing time thinking of logistics from Point A to B allowed us to focus on the many awesome and unique offerings of Cape Town during our short visit.Written 28 August 2024

My husband and I took this excursion with Alain. We had an incredible time. The safari was wonderful. We saw many animals including lions, elephants, rhinos and even hippos. Alain was professional, polite and went out of his way to make this experience wonderful. We even went to Marianne winery which was incredible and the scenery during the drive to the safari and winery was breathtaking.

We were so grateful to find Chalula Private Tours! Our hotel booked a transfer with Alain from Cape Town to Stellenbosh and we were able to book trips with him for the rest of the week which made the trip so much easier! I booked a transfer to Aquila with my young son and Alain looked after us all day, picking us up from our hotel, taking us to the reserve, waiting and taking us on to our wedding party. We then booked again to travel around Ceres and onto the airport. Alain was so organised, on time, flexible and sweet with our son. The cars were well kept, super practical and he was extremely patient with our changing plans etc. It made me feel very safe travelling solo and with friends and really made a very last minute trip much easier. THANK YOU!

Everything perfect, Warner a great guide; good wine tasting and nice safari in the structure of L'Aquila. The latter looks like a luxury resort with swimming pool, spa, good restaurant, solarium and adjoining Safari park
