Uniquely situated between the Indian and Atlantic Oceans, the city of Cape Town enjoys mild rain winter seasons and pleasantly warm dry summer seasons. Temperatures in December to February range from around 18°C-32°C, whilst in the winter months of June to August average temperatures are between 14°C-23°C.
Rainfall is very low in summer and moderate throughout the rest of the year. People from abroad normally visit Cape Town in the summer season from late October to early March. Foreigners always tell me the weather is Mediterranean, with little rain in summer. Mid summer time we enjoy up to 14 hours a day sunshine with romantic sunny evenings sets a mood for a glass of wine while watching the sun set.
If you want to escape the northern hemisphere in winter, Cape Town is most definitely going to appeal to those who love dry warm summer weather. Contact me for information if you would like to know more about our wonderful country and what it has to offer you.
Our tour with Julie was a highlight of our visit to South Africa. Along with the major scenic stops we were able to spend some time at some areas we had specific interest such a local weekend market. Additionally, Julie was very helpful with helping sort out some other areas of our trip with transportation & running down something we'd left at the hotel - going above & beyond. We'll recommend her for our friends or family visiting the Cape Town area in the future - thank you!

Again, a Fantastic Experience I can only give 5 stars and Julie deserves 10+. This was our 4th visit to Cape Town and the 4th time we engaged Julie to show us around the surrounding area. As always, she turned up trumps. She is an excellent tour guide; she adapts the day to whatever you want to do without fuss and with great efficiency. The fact that on every visit to the beautiful city we have used Julie shows how much we appreciate her tours. We would never use anyone else. She is so knowledgeable and adaptable. On our first day, the rain set in but this didn't stop her finding us things to do in wet weather circumstances. My Continue Reading

Words cannot begin to express how WONDERFUL our groups private tour was with Julie for 5 days. I don't think it is possible to put into words how much Julie customized our tour to meet the needs of our group. Each day we had people flying in from Texas to join the tour before a conference we were attending. Our tour size ranged from 6 people to 18 people, and she managed to arrange INCREDIBLE tours and meet the transportation needs of our group daily. On the first day our group was scheduled to go on the City Tour and head to Table Mountain. Julie had the foresight to realize the weather would be bad, so took the initiative to Continue Reading

In the beginning of March 2020, just before the Coronapandemic toke over the world and South Africa went in to total lockdown, our group of 10 friends went on a week tour with Cape Splendour Tours. Well let me tell you, actually Cape Splendour Tours is just one lady, the lovely Mrs. Julie Clarke. She arranged a week tour including winetasting and a day tour around the Cape Peninsula. For 3 days we went on a winetasting tour in the wine areas of Stellenbosch, Paarl and Franschoek. We already made a list of which wineries we wanted to visit and Julie just filled in the blanks. That’s the good thing about Julie, she doesn’t always do a standard program, Continue Reading
