Transfers from Cape Town International Airport

Cape Town transfers split three ways: the short airport run into the City Bowl and Atlantic Seaboard, the Winelands leg out to Stellenbosch, Paarl and Franschhoek, and the longer drives to the Karoo and Garden Route reserves.

Rates are per vehicle, one way. Whale-season Hermanus, Aquila and Sanbona day-and-overnight legs are the ones that book out first, so send dates early in season.
