Their website offers a little insight into what these tours are all about: kiff is South African slang for “super-cool” and a kombi is a camper van. So, when you hop on board one of these cool, colourful vans, be prepared for an equally colourful tour of the Cape, making stops at some of the city’s best gems.

Started by Capetonian Drew Campbell (who relocated to Australia and then moved back again), and his girlfriend Sophie Bagheri, in 2017, the super-cool tours whizz tourists (and locals) around the lesser-known territories of the Cape in a technicoloured camper van. So, if you’re craving a fun, adventurous, and unusual take on the Mother City, you might want to hop on one of these single- or multi-day trips.

Something extra

Like what you’re reading, but not sure the entire package (either multi-day or single day) is right for you? Kiff Kombi will help you customise your own adventure! Whether you’re planning a year-end celebration, birthday or bachelorette do, they’ll create the perfect journey for you! They also offer guided hikes along Platteklip Gorge, India Venster, Lion’s Head, Twelve Apostles and Devil’s Peak.

Beer in mind

But that’s not all Kiff Kombi has taken their brand to the next level by creating their very own craft beer, aptly called Kiff Brew. Their Llandudno Lager is named after one of the most beautiful beaches in Cape Town, and encapsulates the laidback Capetonian way of life. If you want a glug of the good stuff with your mates, then best you book the single-day Craft Beer Safari.
