Gary & Jenna

We chose Cape Town, South Africa because of the incredible scenery, the variety of wine, the rich history & the interesting culture. Buy beer cheaper than you would @ your local over in Aus Or Ireland. But most of all we wanted to have as many as our family & friends in a place they could explore and escape to with us. 

We are sure you will do your own research but being travellers we use skyscanner to start to track flight prices.

The flight time on the quickest (not the cheapest) flight would be approx 14hours 

Dublin > London Heathrow > Cape Town International 

Check flights on the link provided or if you have a preferred provider use them

We will arrive in Cape Town City Central (areas good to stay Clifton, Sea Point, Vredehoek)

Thursday 08 October -  Tuesday 13th October 

We then will be 5kms from the wedding venue from the 

Tuesday 13th October - Thursday 15th October 

After the wedding we will all head 30 mins to a gorgeous town called Hermanus, where we will have the after party gathering at a pub/ spot near the ocean, it is WHALE season.

We will be there with family and ALL are welcome 

Thursday 15th October - Sunday 18th October 

After that hopefully we will have a couple days to ourselves ;) 

Coming from an international spot? Just type in Cape Town International and you will be taken to your destination 

If we need to explain this to local family and friends, we have a massive geographical problem. Call my mom she can help you 

If you are landing in Cape Town, we would like to suggest you car pool or rent a car. Uber is amazing and really reasonable but we wouldn't suggest it from Cape Town to the venue as the venue is 1.5 hours from the city.

I will explain all in an example itinerary. We would suggest making this a trip of a lifetime & exploring Cape Town for 2-3 days before coming to the wedding / after the wedding 

Cape Town, South Africa has to be one of the TOP holiday destinations in the world.

Rich in history, culture, scenery, food and WINE. As well as beaches and safari to make SA a first choice for a lot of travellers.

We would suggest taking 7-14 days to explore this beautiful side of the world.

Cape Town is child friendly and can be a really wonderful family holiday but if you don't want kids whining while you on the wine tram leave them in your country of origin :)

An example:
Thursday - Sunday : Cape Town exploration, there will be a lot of us already there. We will also be having possibly both the Hen’s and Bucks Parties in Cape Town on the Saturday.

- Table mountain cable car
- Robben Island
- Hout Bay Market
- Lion's Head
- Beautiful Food
- Wine Tours
- Shark cage diving

Sunday OR the following week
Head back to Cape Town and tick off things you missed out on before you left for the wedding, enjoy some downtime

* IF you are wanting to experience a Safari we have 2 suggestions
Head back to Johannesburg(treat this as your stopover spot) it is only 2 hours from Cape Town on a plane, and then take a couple nights to the famous Kruger National Park. It is a once in a lifetime place to see the BIG 5
OR stay in Cape Town www.aquilasafari.com/ as there is an array of accommodation and animals to see
