About Us
An interesting fact is that the West Coast National Park contains the Langebaan Lagoon, the largest and most unique saltwater lagoon in South Africa that is fed by the ocean, not a river. This Ramsar Site is home to a vast population of marine and birdlife, serving as a critical nursery and feeding ground for up to 55,000 waterbirds, including numerous migratory species that travel thousands of kilometers to reach it.
The towns themselves are dripping with unobstructed beauty: a sparkling lagoon, spilling on to the white, bright beaches, natural fauna and flora, and that distinctive West Coast air that will clear any dwelling mind.
Available Tours
We offer guided, self drive and 4x4 camping safaris for 2 - 10 people / Max 3 vehicles. All our tours are self catering. Our tours range from sightseeing to very specialised 4x4 off road experiences. Visit the amazing hidden treasures of the Cape Province West Coast.
West Coast, pristine beaches and camp sites
The West Coast of South Africa offers numerous beaches and camping options, ranging from coastal resorts like Stywelyne Beach Resort near Velddrif and Saldanha Bay Holiday Resort in the historic town of Saldanha Bay, to more rustic options in nature reserves like the West Coast National Park. Popular beaches include Britannia Bay and Bluewater Bay in Saldanha, and areas for camping range from established caravan parks with amenities to self-catering chalets in more natural settings.
Cederberg Mountains
The Cederberg mountains are noted for their dramatic, wind-carved sandstone formations, such as the Maltese Cross and the Wolfberg Arch, as well as San rock paintings.
Namaqua National Park
Namaqua National Park is a South African national park situated on the edge of the Atlantic coast of Namaqualand. This biome is a biodiversity hotspot with the largest concentration of succulent plants in the world.
Richtersveld
Richtersveld camping offers a rugged, rustic, and remote experience, with options ranging from riverside campsites like those at The Growcery and Potjiespram, to more basic, 4x4-accessible locations like Kokerboomkloof in the National Park. Many camps are self-catered and require you to bring all supplies, while some offer shared ablutions with hot or cold water and basic braai facilities. Visitors can enjoy activities like hiking, birdwatching, and canoeing on the Orange River.
Koue Bokkeveld Mountains
Located above Prince Alfred Hamlet, north of Ceres, and south east of Citrusdal, the range runs in a WNW-ESE direction with a tall escarpment on its southern and southwestern side. Elevations of the range are an average of 1,600 m and there is often snow in winter. These heights are one of the coldest places in the Western Cape in winter.
Tankwa Karoo National Park
Tankwa Karoo National Park is a vast, arid park in South Africa, situated on the border of the Northern and Western Cape provinces, known for its dramatic desert landscapes, extreme climate, and unique biodiversity within the succulent Karoo biome. The park offers a unique experience with its peace and solitude, spectacular stargazing, and opportunities for bird and wildlife viewing.

SIMBA 4×4 TOURS AND SAFARIS operate on the following basis:
All Safaris are full participation, guided, self drive self catering safaris. You put up and take down your own tents and cook your own food on open fires, preparing your own food. I will start the fires and help you with cooking your food on the fire.
I design and schedule safaris (including accommodation and park bookings) that you specifically request, so whatever extra destinations or services you may want added, may be possible.
When you are ready to book your Safari, please complete https://simba4x4tours.co.za/own-selection, indicating where you are form, how many people you are and which safari you may be interested in, and lastly, your arrival date in Vredenburg, where all safaris start.
You will need a 4×4 vehicle with high ground clearance and low range gearing. I can and will be able to arrange tours to the Cedarberg and Kouebokkeveld, that we can reach on normal road vehicles and be accommodated in built self-catering accommodation; from basic bungalows to fairly upmarket rooms or chalets.
