South Africa, what a lovely country of diverse flora, fauna, culture and history! I have a passion for this beautiful country, it's landscape's and scenery are one of the most beautiful in the world. South Africa has so much to offer, the wildlife and natural vegetation is so diverse, wild and bold. I love to show traveler's the " Off the beaten track" places in and around Cape Town and the surroundings on day trips or multi day trips. I am a qualified registered Tourist Guide for South Africa (registered to guide in all 9 PROVINCES) guide reg no:WC8777 with specialties in the Western Cape, Cape Town Environment and Cape Wine Industry. I have lived in South Africa for all of my life and have been very interested in the history and culture of our country and enjoy sharing my knowledge with other people. I enjoy working and compiling different day tours and itineraries to suit the individual and can work out a special tour to suit my travelers request. The routes that I use will show my guests different aspects of the countryside and also certain points of interest. Most of my tours include an authentic cultural experience from the places we visit to the food you indulge in, 'experience the heart and soul of Africa'. Each experience tells a story of Africa and it's diverse heritage, culture, natural wild life and beauty. I strive to deliver the best that is on offer, a unique, quality filled informative personal tour experience. My passion to becoming a Tourist guide started in 2009 when I first began studying for my Cultural Guiding Course and progressing to becoming a South African National Guide. I have set up a small Tour Operating Company which I also operate and take pride in. I am a great supporter of nature conservation especially the protection of endangered species, and I help in protecting our Rhino's, Elephants and Wildlife from being poached! I sponsor the penguin colony breeding shelters. I enjoy the amazing response that is shown from the tourist when they see the diverse wildlife and the awe inspiring moments of meeting the local culture, it is such a pleasure to share those moments and know they will definitely take these splendid memories back home with them, and to be part of that is just amazing! The best part of being a a local guide is conducting a private tour which is so personal and you will feel more comfortable if you have more insight about the guide before going on the tour with them. My tours are for solo travelers/families/ mature explorers and small groups, I will compile a tour to suit your needs and interests. You can also ' hang out with the locals" I can arrange an outing with the local's from shopping to eating with the local's. You can choose what you would enjoy doing on your tour or I can arrange a tour to suit your specific needs or you may also choose a tour on my profile which will suit your tour plans. Come and discover the treasures that our part of the world has to offer and let me take you on a journey to experience " THE ESSENCE OF AFRICA" with a local guide! - I am a qualified registered National Tourist Guide for South Africa. (registered to guide in all 9 provinces) and the country of Eswatini. - Reg No: WC 8777. - I have a Public Drivers Permit, and a valid First Aid Certificate. - My specialties are Cape Town, Cape Environment, Garden Route, Western Cape and Cape Wine Industry. - I have full passenger liability insurance, my vehicles are all registered as transport vehicles and registered with the South Africa transport association. - I drive an air-conditioned Mercedes Vito Minibus, 2020 model, which can take 6 passengers, seated comfortably. - Luxury SUV 5 seater seating 3 passengers comfortably 2025 model. - I hire larger vehicles for passengers more than 10- 25 people.

Overview of your Cape Town tour

This immersive, flavor-packed day tour takes you deep into the heart of the Western Cape’s most iconic valley. Your journey begins at the vibrant Spice Route Destination in Paarl, where a sensory playground awaits. Trade the vineyard for artisan chocolate pairings, handcrafted biltong, artisanal ice cream, and local craft beer surrounded by beautiful mountains ranges and old Dutch architecture. We take a drive through the oak lined streets of Stellenbosch, enjoy a traditional South African tea tasting and chocolate pairing surrounded by a beautiful lake and breathtaking mountain range, end the day in the quaint French town of Franschhoek displaying old French architecture, side walk cafes, quirky shops and African curios. If you are in the mood and wanting to enjoy a wine tasting to end the day we can go to a family run boutique wine estate.

Brenda was an outstanding guide. She insured that we got to experience the tour in comfort and she provided a very informative and enriching experience for all of us. She was a lot of fun to spend the day with and the itinerary for the day was well planned and perfect for us. Throughout the planning she was prompt and clear in her communication with us. I would definitely work with Brenda again!

Our private winelands tour by Brenda Dornbrack was absolutely perfect in every way. She helped us identify the best areas and Wine estates to meet our needs and the day was amazing. With over 300 wineries in the cape, it's important to have an expert giving you advice. Not only was she helpful in our choices, she was a great conversationalist, and it made the day such a joy for us! Absolutely a 5 STAR experience and we highly recommend her, not just for winery tours but other trips in the CapeTown area.

We have had a great day on our tour to the Winelands with Brenda. On the first day we visited Stellenbosch and Franschhoek which we both loved. But the tour was enhanced by Brenda who adapted it to suit our interests. She is both very personable and knowledgeable and a first rate guide. If you are visiting Cape Town, you couldn't find anyone better I have no hesitation in giving our our tour a five star review
