Hi South Africa Forum,
Thanks Dave,
My husband and I are coming to Cape Town to see as much as we can over three weeks nearly. We are hiring a car and plan to spend a few days in Cape town visiting the various areas for birding botanic gardens the peninsula and the water treatment works etc and would like to hire a guide for maybe three days so we can get a feel for the birds in the area. maybe take a boat trip etc. Then we plan to head off around western cape, karoo and mountains and maybe back along the garden route ish.
Not sure about how many times we will need a guide open to suggestions. we like walking and can walk up to 14 miles a day. Not manic birders but very keen, my husband has a list but I like to see whatever is around. How much is a guide a day and are there any free to take some willing tourist around your lovely country. We love the mountains.
