Highly recommended tour operator - We did a very individually arranged tour around Kapstafz with Orion. We were lucky with Chapmans Peak, it was open!! Great route, great restaurant for lunch and then dropped off at the airport super punctually. Highly recommended, tell us what you want, a lot is possible. Thanks Orion!
