South Africa welcomed more than one million international tourists in August. From airport arrivals to Winelands days, explore Cape Town with Zula, your designated driver.

South Africa just welcomed more than one million international tourists in a single month.

In August 2026, exactly 1,005,286 international tourists arrived in South Africa, up 7.4% from the same month last year. And between January and August, more than 7.5 million international tourists had already visited the country.

Turns out, quite a few people know a good thing when they see it.

And if Cape Town is on your list (which honestly, why shouldn’t it be?), allow us to introduce ourselves.

We’re Zula, your designated driver.

With the mountain, the ocean, the Winelands, the food, the beaches, the nightlife and a summer that makes leaving feel like a genuinely questionable decision, Cape Town has plenty to keep you busy.

Zula is here to help you get around it all.

Our app is officially live, and our drivers are ready.

1. Bring the whole crew.

Travelling solo? Easy.

A few friends? Also easy.

A group with enough luggage to suggest you’re moving here permanently? We’ve got you.

Zula offers everything from premium sedans and SUVs to larger MPVs and minibuses, making it easy to keep your group together without playing a complicated game of who is going with whom?

2. Your driver stays for the experience.

Heading into the Winelands for the day? Your Zula driver stays with you throughout the experience.

Planning a long lunch, wine tasting or a full day of exploring? No need to arrange another ride when you’re ready to move on.

You enjoy Cape Town. Your driver takes the wheel. You know the sun sets very late around these parts, and we wouldn’t want you rushing a good day.

3. No surge pricing. No holiday budget drama.

Cape Town is already very good at tempting you to spend money.

Another bottle of wine? Obviously.

Dessert? Sure, why not?

One more cocktail because you’re on holiday? We support the mission.

Your transport shouldn’t be the thing blowing the budget.

With Zula, you pay what you see. No surge pricing when demand suddenly spikes. Just a clear price for your ride, so you can plan your day without wondering what your transport is going to cost when you’re ready to head home.

4. Airport. Winelands. Big nights out. You name it.

Arriving at Cape Town International? We’ve got you.

Heading to the Winelands? We’ve got you.

Planning a big night out? Got that too.

A friend’s wedding in Franschhoek? Yes, we’re with you.

Hotel transfers, business trips, dinners, beach days, sightseeing, spontaneous adventures and everything in between?

Yep. We’ve got those too.

South Africa is welcoming more visitors, and Cape Town has plenty of experiences waiting for them.

You just need to decide where you’re going first and, most importantly, who you’re riding with.

Download the Zula app, book your ride and let’s go.
