About Vaughn
Your personal guide to South Africa's hidden treasures
Welcome to My World
I'm Vaughn Sterling, and South Africa isn't just where I live—it's my passion, my home, and the place I want to share with you in the most authentic way possible.
For years, I've been welcoming international guests to Cape Town, showing them not the tourist traps, but the real South Africa. The wine estate where the owner will personally pour for you. The restaurant where locals celebrate. The sunset spot that isn't in any guidebook.
What started as showing friends around has evolved into something special: creating bespoke experiences that go beyond typical tours. This is about connection, authenticity, and creating memories that last a lifetime.
Why I'm Different
- • This is personal, not transactional. You're not a client, you're a guest.
- • I live here. These aren't scripted facts—they're my favorite places.
- • Discretion is paramount. Your privacy is my priority.
- • Flexible and spontaneous. If you want to change plans, we change plans.
What I Bring
- Local Knowledge: Born and raised in South Africa
- Hospitality Experience: Years of welcoming international guests
- Cultural Insight: I bridge cultures and translate nuances
- Professional Network: Access to exclusive venues
My Philosophy
"Travel isn't about checking boxes. It's about connection, discovery, and those unexpected moments that become your favorite stories. That's what I create for you."
