You can tell a lot about us by what we pack, where we pause and what still gets our guides excited.

We love introducing guests to the Cape, and we’re still out there finding new reasons to love it ourselves.

That curiosity comes with care. For the guests trusting us with their day, for the people who make this place what it is, and for the wild spaces and wildlife we’re lucky enough to spend time around.

We plan carefully so our guides have the freedom to follow a guest’s curiosity, respond to the weather or linger somewhere that deserves a little longer.

Getting to know who’s along for the adventure matters as much as knowing the way.

These are a few of the stamps we’ve collected along the way. Together, they give you a pretty good picture of how we roll.

This is what personalisation looks like on tour.

On every private tour we do, we include something we call a Signature Set Up: thoughtfully created moments that add an unexpected layer to a guest’s touring day.

There is no brochure for this experience, because it's completely personalised to the guest, the experience, and the day.

It might be a herbal tea tasting amongst the fynbos and shipwrecks at Cape Point, or w**e and snacks after hiking Lion’s Head with honeymooners.

It could even be a birthday cake appearing in the Winelands for someone who thought nobody knew.

These are our Signature Setups, and behind each seemingly spontaneous moment is a guide who came prepared.

There's nothing to book or select in advance.

Tell us about your guests, their interests and anything they’re celebrating, and leave the details to us.

What a week we had at Classic Portfolio's IMPACT 2026!

A fantastic few days at Boschendal, reconnecting with familiar faces, meeting new travel partners and sharing what we've been up to at Escape+Explore, including some exciting new experiences on the horizon.

Our guides Ingrid, Josh and Darryn joined us, bringing their on-the-ground knowledge, storytelling and fresh perspectives to conversations about what makes exploring Cape Town with a local guide so special.

And, of course, we couldn't resist adding a little adventure to the mix!

We kicked off two mornings with sunrise adventures through Boschendal's beautiful protea fields.

Guests could choose between a relaxed farm hike or a scenic trail run, taking in the surroundings while learning about the farm's regenerative farming practices.

Both routes came together at the dam for steaming coffee, tea, hot chocolate and breakfast treats. The perfect start to the day before everyone headed off to their meetings ☕

We also brought a taste of local craft to the afternoon festivities, with Cape Craft Lab setting up a bar on the lawns and serving their signature gin and rum.

A big thank you to everyone who joined us, shared stories, embraced the early mornings and made the week such a memorable one.

Great people, meaningful connections and a little adventure along the way.

That's our kind of MegaFam!

There’s a little more going on inside an Escape+Explore vehicle than meets the eye.

With a private guide and a well-equipped Adventure Utility Vehicle, your clients have the freedom to linger somewhere they love, follow their curiosity or stop for lunch when the right view comes along.

Cape Town has a habit of presenting opportunities you didn’t necessarily plan for.

We like to be ready for them.

For your clients, having a private vehicle and their own guide means the freedom to follow those opportunities, with the day adapting around their interests, energy and appetite for adventure.

Share this with a client who's heading to the Cape this summer ☀️

We can't take credit for the views, but we can take care of the snacks 😉

Every Escape+Explore adventure comes with a private Gourmet Pantry: a thoughtfully curated stock of local food and drinks to keep guests refreshed, energised and indulged throughout their adventure.

Guests can help themselves whenever they like, whether they are heading into the mountains, exploring the Peninsula or settling in for a scenic drive.

And when the Cape puts on a sunset worth staying for, our Cocktail Setup gives everyone another reason to settle in, with a beautifully prepared drink in hand.

Thoughtfully stocked & always within reach 👌

You’ll find a little of TARI travelling with us on every Escape+Explore adventure.

From the Shweshwe covers on our coffee flasks and milk bottles to the safari chairs we unpack when a view deserves a longer stay.

Behind those details is Tariro Ngwerume, whose Simon’s Town studio celebrates African heritage through handcrafted designs.

Alongside creating her own designs, Tari teaches sewing and business skills, helping women build livelihoods of their own. Today, Tari Designs employs eight women full-time, and more than 30 seamstresses have started businesses or found stable employment through her training.

Working with Tari brings her craft into our guests’ day, and a Peninsula adventure can take them to her studio to meet her and see that work taking shape.

A connection to the Cape can begin with something as simple as the chair you're sitting in, then grow into a conversation with the woman who made its cover.

It’s one of the reasons we put so much thought into who we work with, and what comes along for the ride.

When you recommend Escape+Explore, your reputation travels with us.

We want you to feel confident in the experiences we deliver and the responsible tourism credentials behind them 🌍

Last year, we became Fair Trade Tourism Approved and Travelife Certified, building on a commitment that was already part of our journey.

As the EU Empowering Consumers for the Green Transition Directive brings greater scrutiny to sustainability claims, that groundwork gives our trade partners something increasingly valuable:

independently assessed credentials to support the information you share with your clients.

Fair Trade Tourism has also formally declared that its certification scheme meets the Directive’s requirements for sustainability labels, including independent verification and ongoing re-verification.

For our agents and tour operator partners, this offers reassurance that the claims behind your recommendation have substance.

You can ask questions, share our credentials and understand how our commitment is assessed.

You put care into choosing who you recommend. We put care into earning that confidence 🤝

A Grape Escape is a rather good way to welcome our first MegaFam guests 🍇

This was the first of 3 groups we are hosting for Classic Portfolio's 2026 IMPACT .

We began in the Winelands, with helicopter arrivals at Muratie, conversations with the w**emaker, electric bikes through Franschhoek, and a little music and w**e.

Across Africa, 62 travel professionals are taking part in 13 journeys through 10 countries. They'll be meeting the guides, communities, conservationists and hosts who bring each place to life.

That’s what makes this such a natural fit for Escape+Explore. Our guides have always explored through people.

Bringing curious people together and seeing where the day takes us is familiar territory.

With our first Grape Escape complete, we’re looking forward to welcoming our next two groups for more Cape discoveries, before everyone gathers at Boschendal to share stories and celebrate the people and partnerships behind African travel.

There should be some rather good stories around that table.
