Yesterdays (23rd April, 2024) Adventure to Steenbras Dam

Two baboons are sitting on top of a wooden trash can.

Yesterday, Cape Town Shuttle Services embarked on an exciting tour to Steenbras Dam with two vans filled with eager travellers. Our driver, Mr. Lewellin, captured some stunning pictures of the journey, showcasing not only the breathtaking views but also some unexpected guests - a group of baboons enjoying their time in the area.


The tour was a perfect blend of nature, adventure, and new experiences. As our vans made their way through the scenic route to Steenbras Dam, our passengers were treated to picturesque landscapes and wildlife sightings. The baboons added a touch of charm to the trip, delighting everyone with their playful antics.


It was also a day of meeting new faces and making lasting memories. Our passengers had the opportunity to connect with each other, share stories, and create bonds over the shared experience of exploring the beauty of Steenbras Dam.


At Cape Town Shuttle Services, we strive to provide unforgettable experiences for our customers, and yesterday's tour was no exception. We look forward to many more adventures ahead and the chance to showcase the wonders of Cape Town to all who travel with us. Thank you to Mr. Lewellin for capturing the essence of the day through his lens and bringing the tour to life for all to enjoy.


Things to Note when encountering baboons or areas known for baboons to be found:

  • Always keep valuables safe and on your person.
  • Hide your food, or simply put don't bring any at all.
  • They may come for your bag, don't try to fight them - their fangs are not just for show.
  • If encountering an aggressive baboon, Try to back away, tilt your head down and break eye contact. Do not turn your back.
  • If they are stalking you (if you happen to notice) they will most likely be targeting your bag in hopes for food.
  • DO NOT FEED THE BABOONS.
