★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 2 reviews · from $182

Review of Cape Town’s private animal farm tour, with giraffes, lions, crocodiles, alpacas, transport, costs, and practical tips.

“Gauthier was a nice guide who seemed to enjoy his job, but he also took phone calls all the time and I felt rushed at the various stops. He also guilted me into paying for his lunch. The cheetah, lion, monkey, and crocodile stops were well worth the time but the giraffe stop was not really worth it.”
