Yuri Kupryashov

I have lived in Cape Town since 2006. Originally from Minsk, he worked in Ireland and Cyprus for several years before coming to South Africa. I travel not only to Africa but also to other continents.

I am passionate about active sports, science and high technologies, history, music. I am part of the Volunteer Wildfire Service. I like to go hiking and conquer new peaks.

Experience in tourism – 10 years; I have higher education, qualifications “tourist guide” and “first aid”.

There is no better country than South Africa to get acquainted with African exotics. On the one hand, it is the most “European” country on the continent with a high level of development and luxurious tourist infrastructure. Accordingly, a good hotel, excellent service, restaurants, clubs, world-class shops are guaranteed. On the other hand, it is here that many “cult” places of the black continent are located, which create a magical image of Africa: Limpopo, Kalahari, Table Mountain, the Cape of Good Hope.

And it is here that you can feel the power of African nature, see all its diversity, whether it is a tropical jungle, savanna, desert or the coast of two oceans at once. Why would you just see it? If you wish, you can (and should!) interact with nature actively, knowing not only African beauty, but also yourself in them. There are plenty of opportunities for this: safari, deep-sea fishing for tuna and marlin, diving in a cage to sharks, descending a rope from Table Mountain, surfing, bungee, canoeing ... Organizing such tours in South Africa for me is a real pleasure!

If you adhere to the traditions of a more calm, measured holiday, then South Africa will open for you from the other side: a beach paradise on the coast of two oceans; admiring the richest flora and fauna of the continent; acquaintance with the sights of the most beautiful city in the world - Cape Town; a visit to the spirit of the era of the Great Geographical Discoveries of the Cape of Good Hope; tasting amazing South African wines on picturesque wine farms ... Here my specialization is excursion tours around Cape Town and the surrounding area, tours along the Garden Road, excursions in Johannesburg and safaris in Kruger Park.

The opportunities for recreation in South Africa are infinitely diverse. It's like a giant puzzle. Collecting it from individual pieces, you can get a variety of pictures. I know how to make the picture of your holiday the most vivid and memorable! If you are young at heart, open to everything new, strive to know the world and yourself in it – we are on the way!

My tours will be remembered by the smoke of a night campfire in the savannah, the fairy tale of the starry sky of Africa, the merry spirit of the port of Cape Town, the generosity of the Wine Valley farmers, whose motto is “Drink wine – save water!”. You will have something to remember and tell your friends. Believe me!

Always in touch, your guide Yuri Kupryashov, Cape Town, South Africa.
