Rikkis Taxis

Rikkis Taxis Rikkis is Cape Town’s fun-loving taxi service, offering affordable, safe and reliable transport throughout the Mother City. Need a ride? Call 0861 RIKKIS.

Founded in 1984, Rikkis has been bringing fun in the Cape Town sun to all corners of the city for an impressive 30 years. Back then, Rikkis was a “half loaf” Suzuki that putt puttered its way throughout the city’s streets. It pulled a first in the taxi industry – giving cost-conscious, fun-loving locals an affordable ride…TOGETHER. Who knew this small share-and-ride service would grow to become th

e bustling franchise we know today…

In 2005, a pre-booked, door-to-door taxi service and call centre would be added, while a year later a fleet of bumblebee-coloured London cabs. By then, it was clear Rikkis was going places. Nowadays, Rikkis is known as Cape Town’s got-to friendly and fun taxi service. Famous for its distinctive fleet, Rikkis is the only transport company in the Mother City to offer a fun experience and the comfort of a London cab. Rikkis – We’ll take you places.

There is a secret garden that not many discover; an elusive paradise within Cape Town that springs up seemingly out of thin air. It is an entryway into a different world as it teleports you to South America and ignites a ferocious rhythm within you. It is a space of celebration, of feasting, of music and movement - where dance meets cuisine, culture meets tradition, Argentinian flavours and Latin dance scapes unite and worlds collide to bring you a kaleidoscope of enticing experiences! Join Secret Sunrise Cape Town party!
