Deciding on where to go and what to see in South Africa is very hard as there is just so much to see – Sea, Forests, Deserts, Canyons, Savana, Mountains, The Big 5, etc, etc.

South Africa really is a “World in One Country” … let us show her off to you!

David Smith – Owner/ Director

I’m one of the lucky few to have grown up and still live in the beautiful suburb of Camps Bay, only 5 minutes from the city centre of Cape Town. I joined the tourism industry in 1996, when I opened my family guest house, The Bay Atlantic Guest House, which keeps going from strength to strength and in 2002 extended my accommodation offerings to a small selection of apartments in Camps Bay.

Starting African Blue Tours was a natural progression as having assisted and chaperoned many guest house clients around South Africa, I decided to offer my expertise on a full time professional basis.

After living in and travelling around South Africa for over 37 years, I feel that with my wealth of local knowledge and experience of the tourism & hospitality industries, I can ensure you get the best advice about our wonderfull country, South Africa.

Hobbies: Surfing, mountain biking, ocean paddling and supporting our Springbok Rugby team.

Heroes: Nelson Mandela …. hands down the greatest President and humanitarian the world has known!

Famous quote by David: “If we didn’t have to work, we’d live in the ocean” (refering to his love of the sea)
