Good to know
Bring a warm layer
Cape Point is often windy and cooler than the city, even on a sunny day.
Penguins all year
The colony at Boulders lives there year-round, so any month works.
Lighthouse funicular
The Flying Dutchman funicular up to the old lighthouse is paid separately at Cape Point. You can also walk up.
Children
The first child seat is free and a second is £7. Ask for them when you book.
“Our second trip with SAMA and always the best. Big thanks to our driver Clifton, helpful, very respectful and professional. We enjoyed our time with him a lot and will be back.”
“Everything they agreed with us turned out better than agreed. Special thanks to our driver Omar for his manners and good judgement in every situation, and a great plan for each day. I recommend him to everyone.”

Why book a private driver
A group tour runs to a timetable. A hire car means driving on the left, navigating and parking at every stop. With your own driver you see the same places on your schedule, and nobody in your group has to drive.
Two people on a full day pay £98 each, in a car of their own.
Questions
Is the price per person?
No. It covers the car and driver for the day: up to 3 passengers in the sedan, 7 in the people carrier and 6 in the luxury van.
Is this a guided tour?
No, you book a driver and a car for your group only. Our drivers know the route, the stops and the best order for the day, and you decide how long to stay at each one.
Are entry fees included?
No. Cape Point and Boulders Beach charge entry at the gate: R592 and R282 for an international adult from 1 November 2026. Fuel, parking and the Chapman’s Peak toll are included in our price.
Can we change the route or add the Winelands?
Yes. Tell your driver on the day. If the day runs past 10 hours or 200 km, the extra is charged at the hourly and per-kilometre rates in our price list.
What time do you pick us up?
You choose the time when you book. Most guests start at 8:30 am, which gets you to Boulders before the busiest part of the day.
Are prices higher over Christmas and New Year?
Yes. From 15 December to 10 January, prices are 15% higher. These dates are marked in the booking calendar.
How do I pay and cancel?
Pay by card when you book, at least 24 hours ahead, and the day is confirmed at once. Cancel on WhatsApp up to 24 hours before pickup for a full refund to your card. Later than that, or if you do not show, we refund 50%.
