Discover The Beauty Of Cape Town With One Of Our Self-Drive Tours

Cape Town, the vibrant and diverse "mother city" of South Africa, is now more accessible than ever with our small portfolio of self-drive tours and safaris.

A self-drive portfolio that includes the Cape Winelands, Overberg, The Cape Point National Park, Constantia, and even the Garden Route and West Coast, there is something for most people when wanting to explore the Cape Province.

With your own vehicle, you control what time you leave, what time you get back, where to stop and what to do; it is for these reasons alone that self-drive safaris are so popular.

That is, of course, if you are comfortable driving in another country and even on the wrong side of the road depending on where you are from.

The road network in and around Cape Town is in excellent health; the N1, N2 and N7 are the major highways connecting the city with the Cape Winelands, the Overberg and Garden Route and the beautiful West Coast region. The only aspect to keep an eye on is speeding, and one can get quite the nasty surprise when the fines start rolling in, and just a reminder that when visiting the Winelands and tasting wine, drinking and driving will land you in jail.

At Uyaphi.com, we have several self-drive tour packages that enable guests to explore Cape Town and the surrounding regions without needing a guide (although one can be arranged should you wish), public transport or a group tour.

All tour packages are entirely tailor-made from the ground up, with budgets, accommodation types, wants, desires and group size all coming into play.

Whether it is a budget-friendly holiday or an exclusive, luxurious getaway, we have something for everyone!

Note: All routes have been driven by us here are Uyaphi.com.
