South Africa Tour Operators and Travel Agencies

Built in 1724, the first in a range of coastal defense to deter sea-borne aggressors and named after the Governor, its stable firing platform with 16 large cannons enabled gunners to bring accurate fire to bear on hostile ships from its perch as watchdog of the bay. The Chavonnes Battery was partially demolished in 1860 its stone reused for the Alfred Basin and the Clock Tower was built as its new sentinel. In 1999, the Chavonnes Battery was re-discovered, excavated and conserved in a spectacular example of architectural ingenuity. The Chavonnes Battery tells about the early History of Cape Town which includes: • A Heritage site / museum, • We host Contemporary International Art exhibitions, • We offer guided tours of the museum, • The official V&A Waterfront Historical Walking Tour, • The exquisite site is suited to presentations and "Old Cape" themed dinners, • The opportunity to fire an original 18th century Muzzle Loaded Cannon. (Under supervision of the Cannon Association of SA) It is the only place that you can touch the sand of the original Cape Town shoreline that has been buried for 300 years, the sand Jan Van Riebeeck walked on and all our guides dress in period costume of a 17th century VOC soldier. The Chavonnes Battery is open 7 days a week from 9 am to 4 pm. The average walk through lasts 30-40 min with ample seating and reading material for longer visits.

We have found a way to cater for the needs of every member of the family. We have a passion for service excellence. I started my business in 2005, after good consideration of the Tourist Influx in my town Port Nolloth and the Richtersveld. In 2008 I was selected National Best Tourist Guide in the Welcome Awards at Indaba by SA Tourism. I also was selected in 2009 and 2010 Provincial Finalist for the ETEYA award for my province. In 2014 I was selected Tourism Ambassador for the Northern Cape at the Tourism Indaba held in Durban. My clients are from all over the world. Few countries to mention Germany, the UK, Netherlands, USA, Switzerland, Italy, France, Belgium, Canada, etc. I was working previously in the Diamond mining Industry and Fish Companies and also serve in the Military as a Medic. I visited London WTM, ITB in Berlin, Philippines and Turkey a few times and attended convention hosted by the World Federation for Tourist Guides. Aukwatowa Tours will tailor make tours & transfers at extremely competitive rates. Allow us to let you savour the true Africa and experience something that will stay with you forever. You will be the envy of others when you tell them of your experience. We are based in Port Nolloth, and normally start and end our Tours here, but through arrangements you can be picked up at the airport in Upington or Cape Town. We normally structure our tours to include as much as possible, of a variety of things. On the way to the Ai-Ais Richtersveld Transfrontier Park (a World Heritage site) we like to show our visitors some rare plants, landscapes, rock engravings etc. These amazing places are not necessarily inside the Park. On a “normal” trip, we only reach the Park by the end of the first day. The Richtersveld consists of the Sandveld on the coast, which is mostly inaccessible ( restricted mining area), then you have the wetlands at the Orange river mouth, the scenic areas along the Orange river, Conservancy areas at Kuboes, Eksteenfontein and Rooiberg, the National Park, and areas outside these formal conservancy areas. It needs to be mentioned that some of the Areas outside the conservancy and Park, are no less spectacular than the parts inside these areas. Our more popular tours are between 2 and 8 days. Before these trips we establish our client’s personal interests, and put something together that suits them. We start planning a tour with two people, and keep our group sizes to not more than eight people. On our tours, we supply everything, from the vehicle , equipment, putting up camp where necessary, preparing meals, cleaning up, changing flat tyres (if necessary), drinking water and accommodation before and after the Tour (in Port Nolloth). In the National Park, we would not be able to cover much of it, as travelling in the Park is generally slow. It is important to make stops, and to do short hikes, to see and appreciate more of the plants, and landscapes, thus we need to do 3 to 6 days in order to cover all. WE OFFER: Namakwa Flowers and Botanic Safaris Richtersveld World Heritage Site Visits and Cultural Safaris, and meeting with locals. Diamond mining heritage, shipwrecks and Atlantic coast safaris Kruger National Park/ Pilanesberg Day excursions – seafood picnics & sunset drives Game viewing Safaris in Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park Canoe trips on Orange River Private tailored Safaris. Wine tasting and the Wine Route tours Northern Cape Safari Shipwrecks along the diamond Coast Garden Route and Cape Town Tours Overland Safaris
