City Sightseeing Cape Town is proud to officially announce that sales are now open for Urban Safaris, an innovative inner-city tour set to begin on Monday, 29 September 2025. Urban Safaris is designed for explorers seeking more than just major sights. This tour is about real stories and community connections that reveal the soul of the city. Led by knowledgeable guides passionate about Cape Town, Urban Safaris takes guests on a journey through back alleys, secret streets, and lesser-known corners, diving deep into the city’s rich and diverse culture.

Highlights of Urban Safaris

Curated Experiences: Discover popular attractions, including The Castle of Good Hope and District Six Museum, while also exploring hidden alleys, vibrant street art, and secret corners, guided by passionate locals.

Live Storytelling: Enjoy personal narratives, cultural insights, and historical facts that bring each stop to life, revealing new dimensions of Cape Town’s heritage.

Flexible & Comfortable: Our leopard-print vehicles offer a comfortable ride and make a bold statement about the safari spirit brought to urban exploration. Regular departures allow guests to join or rejoin the adventure at their convenience.

Community Connections: Expect genuine encounters with local traders, artists, and café owners, making each tour a platform for cultural exchange and local support.

"We are thrilled with this innovative new concept. Our leopard print vehicles perfectly capture the safari spirit we're bringing to urban exploration, while supporting local businesses and showcasing the authentic heart of our beautiful city." — Claus Tworeck, CEO of City Sightseeing Cape Town.

With departures running regularly from 09:00 to 17:00, the journey begins and concludes at the City Sightseeing tour office located at 81 Long Street, Cape Town. When you purchase a 1 or 2 day red bus ticket, you’ll enjoy a discount on your Urban Safaris adventure, making it a perfect opportunity to explore more while saving. If you opt for a 3-day ticket, the Urban Safaris experience is free, giving you even more value and time to immerse yourself in Cape Town’s vibrant heart. This offer allows you to make the most of your visit, uncovering hidden gems and cultural highlights at your leisure.
