Our Story

Your Local Cape Town Tour Operator

Welcome to Adventure Tours Africa, where every journey is personal.

Adventure Tours Africa is our registered South African tour company, while DiveJumpRoam.com is the website where travellers from around the world discover, plan and book our Cape Town tours, safaris and marine adventures.

I’m Theresa Cole, a qualified Cape Town tourist guide (WC 9630) with more than 25 years of experience helping visitors discover the natural beauty, wildlife, history and culture of Cape Town and the Western Cape.

Since 2009, first through Shark & Safari and now through Adventure Tours Africa, I have welcomed thousands of local and international travellers, creating private guided tours, marine adventures, safaris and tailor-made travel experiences designed around each guest’s interests. My background also includes three seasons working within Cape Town’s cruise-terminal environment, assisting cruise guests, international ship captains and crew while working closely with the shipping agency responsible for their local arrangements. This experience strengthened my understanding of the time-sensitive coordination international visitors need and later helped shape Adventure Tours Africa’s practical support services for medical travellers and their companions.

Whether you’re exploring the Cape Peninsula, enjoying a Cape Winelands tour, experiencing a Big 5 safari, whale watching in Hermanus or shark cage diving, I personally guide many of our private tours and work with trusted local partners for specialist experiences, ensuring every adventure is carefully planned, memorable and personalised.

At Adventure Tours Africa, I believe travel should never feel rushed or impersonal. From your first enquiry to the end of your journey, you’ll receive honest advice, local knowledge and friendly service to help you experience the very best of Cape Town.

Adventure Tours Africa was built on a simple belief:

The best journeys aren’t just about seeing places—they’re about experiencing them.

Our tourism journey began in Cape Town in 2000 and continued with Shark & Safari, created in 2009. As our work expanded beyond marine adventures to include private guided tours, safaris, Cape Winelands experiences, whale watching and tailor-made itineraries, we created DiveJumpRoam.com—a name that reflects our passion for exploring South Africa.

We invite our guests to:

🌊 Dive into South Africa’s incredible marine world.

⛰️ Jump into unforgettable adventures.

🚐 Roam through spectacular coastlines, award-winning vineyards, vibrant cities and extraordinary wildlife.

Today, Adventure Tours Africa is the registered tour company behind every experience, while DiveJumpRoam.com reflects our passion for helping travellers explore South Africa.

If you have any questions before you book, we’d love to hear from you. Whether you need recommendations, travel advice or help planning your perfect itinerary, we’re always happy to help.

We look forward to welcoming you to Cape Town and helping you create memories that will last a lifetime.

Theresa was an exceptional guide and I couldn’t recommend her enough. She was communicative, thorough and most importantly caring. She was genuinely interested in ensuring we got the most from our tour and went over and above to make sure it was tailored to exactly what we wanted to do. Prior to our trip, Theresa was in touch with us regularly to answer questions, check in, update us on the weather and to give advice. Communication was quick and easy through WhatsApp and it felt like being on a tour with a friend rather than a guide. Theresa got to know us and as a result, was able to adjust the tour to include extra things that we wanted to see - or things she knew we would love. After the trip, Theresa also checked in to ensure we were safe and comfortable - which was so very much appreciated as two single female travellers. She was also on hand with a quick response to answer our many questions and to give us recommendations for restaurants and other things to do and see. I would recommend Theresa to anyone looking for a personal, tailored tour in South Africa. I can’t thank her enough for making our experience so special! Thank you, Theresa!

A fantastic experience. Theresa was an exceptional tour guide who went over and above to ensure that we had a great experience. She was in constant contact prior to the tour and answered all of our questions within an hour! She listened to what we wanted and actually changed the tour slightly on the day as she wanted to try and fit more in so we had a wonderful experience. Can’t recommend enough and have already recommended to friends traveling to South Africa.

Great experience from start to finish! Theresa organized everything perfectly – from the transfer to the shark cage diving trip in Gansbaai. Communication was easy, everything ran smoothly, and we always felt well taken care of. Super professional and friendly service – can definitely recommend booking through her if you're around Cape Town. Thanks again for an awesome day!
