About this trip

Cape Town has been voted as the best city in the world for seven years in a row by the Telegraph UK. 


Centered around Table Mountain, one of the new 7 Wonders of the World, Cape Town is known for its beautiful beaches (some of which have Penguins!), stunning biodiversity, award-winning food and wine, and just sheer variety of experiences on offer. You’ll explore the best of Cape Town, while we highlight Black-owned and women-owned businesses throughout the city and the nearby winelands (think Napa Valley vibes), through which you will learn about the history, hustle, and heart of this world-class city.

This is my second Girls Trip Tours adventure with a group of Black women I just met this week—and once again, it’s been absolutely phenomenal! Temi has mastered the art of curating experiences that resonate deeply with Black women seeking to find their place, connect with their tribe, immerse themselves in rich cultures, and feel truly seen. If you're craving that kind of transformative journey, don’t walk—run—to Girls Trip Tours. I feel incredibly fortunate to have experienced not just this extraordinary trip to Cape Town, where I witnessed the vibrant flourishing of Black excellence, but also an unforgettable solo journey through Kenya. Through Iranti, Girls Trip Tours helped me explore two cities in Kenya with seamless planning and care. These experiences have made me prouder than ever to be African and a traveler exploring the beauty of our continent. Temi and her team have exceeded my wildest dreams. I’m already counting down to the next adventure. Thank you, Girls Trip Tours. Thank you, Temi. This is more than travel—it’s a celebration of sisterhood, culture, and joy!

The trip was one of a life time. Even though I was skeptical at first it turned out to be above my expectations. The tours, the food, the host and tour guides made the experience extra special . I’d recommend it to anyone who likes to travel in style.

This was an unforgettable trip for me and my best yet - the meals, activities and of course the people on the travel group made this so special. The Girls MAP activity where we got to meet and mentor student girls impacted me deeply and I’m so glad I got that experience. Cape Town is a beautiful city with a complex socioeconomic/race construct and I love that this trip focused on uplifting the black experience. Girls Trip Tours did an amazing job curating the itinerary. Having someone else plan the trip took out all the stress and has now informed how I want to travel going forward lol. I’m looking forward to going back to Cape Town now and joining future Girls Trip excursions. Thank you to a great team and to my fellow travelers who brought laughter, good vibes, stimulating conversation and unforgettable memories!

It was a great trip. It was my third time in Cape Town and I still got the chance to see it in a new and exciting way. It was my best visit yet. The personalized touches and hard work in the background were evident. Would definitely recommend traveling with Girls Trip Tours.

What an experience! It was beyond my expectations, from the hotel amenities, food, trip location, and the organization! I'm a seasoned traveler and I didn't have to worry about anything, I just needed to book my ticket to JoBurg and everything else was taken care of! I tend to be a traveler that appreciates food, people and culture, the Safari trip covered all of that and gave me an added appreciation for nature, something I didn't expect to enjoy so much! Finally, if you're about supporting women-run businesses and leaders, empowering girls, and connecting with Africa in a way that is meaningful and fully represents the beauty of the African continent, sign up for a Girls Trip Tour! I feel like I didn't do this justice, but the food was DELISH! Go ready to eat and gain a few pounds, it's totally worth it! Thank you, Temi, Tlotso and Bichri for making this a memorable trip!

This trip went beyond my expectations (even though I already knew it was going to be amazing). As a seasoned traveler, I generally shy away from group travel, especially with strangers but this trip changed my perspective. Everything was advertised as better and there was such a right mix of activity, down time, cultural immersion and social impact. From the first point of communication to depature, Temi and her network of colleagues handled everything beautifully. I enjoyed the opportunity to visit Cape Town for the first time and loved being able to experience it at such an elevated level. I'm already sure that I will hop on a trip next year and bring some friends along with me!

Girls Trip was the time of my life! At first I was a bit intimidated by the high cost. However, during the trip with our personal photographer, the endless meals, and all-day driver made every moment perfect. I loved the mentoring aspect of the trip and still keep in touch with some of the girls. This was my first time in West Africa and it made me so excited to return. There was so much inspiration, self-love, and joy surrounding this trip. Temi was a great host and it was even more exciting to get to meet the local influencers.On top of that it was such a weight off of our shoulders to not have to plan anything, but instead just show up and enjoy the incredible activities Temi had lined up. We also felt like we were in good hands and I can’t wait for the next trip!

Eyitemi curates probably the best women-only trips I have ever been on. Beyond the attention to detail for each day of the trip, she puts coins in the pockets of women-led entreprises, from hotels and travel guides to social entreprises. I love that intentionality because she walks the talk and makes a noticeable difference in the countries and communities she brings us to. I travelled with her in Kenya and this remains a wonderful memory to date. From mentoring sessions with emerging tech leaders in Nairobi to luxurious stays and sailing in the Lamu Archipelago, Eyitemi ensured that every thing ran seamlessly from day 1 to the end. Book that trip!! It is more than worth it.
