About Cape Rhino

Cape Rhino Tours, a Cape Town Family Business Since 2001

Cape Rhino Tours was founded in 2001 by Waleed Osman, a Capetonian who believed a city this layered deserved more than a fixed itinerary and a microphone.

Since 2001

Our story

One driver, one car and a refusal to rush anyone.

What began as one driver, one car and a refusal to rush anyone has grown into a company trusted by some of the Cape's most discerning hotels and estates. The way we work hasn't changed.

In 2006, Cape Rhino was the provincial winner of the Eteya Award and a nominee for Best Upcoming Touring Company, chosen from across all nine provinces. Today the company is owned and led by the next generation of the Osman family, making it female and youth owned with a BBBEE Level 1 rating, while Waleed continues to oversee operations.

We are, at heart, still a small company by choice. Every guest gets a guide who knows them, not a rotation of whoever's available.

Waleed Osman, founder of Cape Rhino Tours
A career built across the Cape's finest addresses

Trusted by the Cape's leading hotels

Concierge experience you can feel on every trip.

Our founder's concierge career spans some of the Cape's most respected addresses: Steenberg Hotel, Stellenbosch Tourism and Spier Hotel, and continues today in an ongoing concierge partnership with Erinvale Estate Hotel & Spa. Cape Rhino has also been a preferred operator for Shuttle Direct since 2010.

It is the kind of behind the scenes experience that teaches you exactly what a discerning guest needs, not just what a brochure assumes they want. Reference letters from Spier Hotel and Erinvale Estate Hotel & Spa are available on request.

Alongside private guests, we work with international travel agents, corporate travel managers and hotel concierge teams.
