In Cape Town, expect cool to mild temperatures ranging from 8-18°C (46-64°F) with frequent rain showers, overcast days, and occasional clear, crisp weather. The winter winds can be strong, especially during cold fronts, so warm, waterproof clothing and layers are recommended.

What our clients say about us

Daniel Danckwerts
CS - South Africa 2019

I had an excellent birding adventure. Daniel Danckwerts was superb at finding and identifying the myriad of species. He interfaces with the group exceptionally well, from the beginner birder to the pros on the tour. I would love to go on another birding tour with Dan, as he was exceptionally skilled at his craft. Other environmental/birding issues would pop up for conversation and he was skilled in his answers and knowledge. His passion for birding was very apparent, as well as his thoughtfulness in making sure everyone was on the bird and helping with our travel experience.

Daniel Danckwerts
SR, South Africa 2019

This tour was fantastic-it exceeded all expectations in every aspect. The country is beautiful and it was shown to us in a way I will never forget - the plants, birds, mammals landscapes, insects and people. One of the most rounded lifetime experiences I have had. And now for the guide. Daniel was one of the best (if not the best) guide I’ve ever had. He has incredible birding skills-we missed nothing! His natural science knowledge is vast, especially for his age-it shows his love of nature and willingness to share it. He was very good with us as a group-able to joke around with everyone and meet individual needs. He adapted to all situations smoothly and with great confidence. His driving skills were superb-in the 13 000 km we traveled, not once did I think he made a dangerous or even slightly aggressive move. His choice of lodges and restaurants was great-we didn't lose any weight on the trip! I would travel with him anytime and will seek out destinations where I know he is the guide. Thanks Rockjumper for a wonderful trip.

Keith Valentine
MP & JP, South Africa 2018

Keith is a wonderful guide as well as a great person, and we are grateful to have made his acquaintance.

André Bernon
OS, South Africa 2018

Our leader, Andre Bernon, was very good and very knowledgeable, he was also good with general South African knowledge, which was a good thing.

Keith Valentine
LAM, South Africa - Alvaro's Adventures 2025

I had the best time and found Keith Valentine the most knowledgeable guide. The trip was absolutely amazing and I would definitely travel with Rockjumper again. I particularly enjoyed the vast types of habitats we visited and the amazing numbers and diversity of the birds we observed. I look at my photos now and relive the trip. It was so much fun. The trip to Manyoni was utterly phenomenal. A trip of a lifetime observing the Big 5 in their native habitats. Thanks so much. The guides at Zebra Hills were very knowledgeable and all the extra info they gave us about animal behaviors was wonderful? I had no preconceived notions of what type of accommodations we would have, but I was very satisfied.
