The Benefits of Private Guided Travel

From the moment you are met by your African Lynx Private Guide at the airport, you can stop thinking and start enjoying. Logistics, preferences and experiences are efficiently and effectively handled and executed. Between your guide and our ever-alert HQ, we will ensure the effortless enjoyment of your vacation.

On that note, this is your holiday! Should you want to do something slightly different to what is on the itinerary, let’s do it! Flexibility is an integral part of what we believe makes an experience your’s. Once your Private Guide has gotten to know you and your interests better, he is able to put forward more accurate and suitable recommendations to you while you are in his care. It is this intimate discovery of personal preference that excites us and allows us to deftly craft your itinerary.

A special bond is quickly formed between you and your Private Guide and it is this relationship which becomes so dear to you and your travel experience. It allows for the continuation of each new day and the conversation to flow. The resulting personal and open relationship enhances your learning and the imparting of knowledge from your guide. Laugh, debate and discuss the various elements of our corner of South Africa and its culture as they unfold before you. Allow yourself to be immersed into the genuine, friendly and easy-going nature of South Africans.

Your Private Guide is exactly that, a local, a resident, a South African. Allow our home to be revealed to you from the inside out. Its history, its vibe, its hidden gems and its diverse beauty that make it a one-of-a-kind destination. Allow the stories of the different cultures of our population enthral you. Tales of resilience, resourcefulness and of course those of comic relief! Experience these accounts first hand as we introduce you to those closest to us. Wine farmers, artisans, artists and marine biologists, just to name a few. These are some of the close relationships that we have built and we can’t wait to share alongside you.

The above-mentioned relationships, as well as the experience of your Private Guide, allow for the feeling of familiarity and safety when it comes to your travel experience. Whether on the ocean surrounding the Cape Peninsula or walking through the Imizamo Yethu township, we assure you, you are in the best hands.
