Cape Town is a beautiful place and we want you to have the best time while you are here.

As with visiting any country, here are some tips you might find handy

- Crowds head for Table Mountain on any given summer’s day. Voted one of the new seven natural wonders of the world, Table Mountain is the city’s icon. It is also inundated and even on a good day there are queues for the cable car. Get there first thing to avoid having to stand in a long line or book online

- Stay in the city bowl if you want to explore the inner city, its history and many attractions. Places like Tamboerskloof, Green Point, Sea Point, and Oranjezicht are great areas to stay.

- Avoid carrying large sums of cash, carrying cameras or video cameras in plain sight and leaving belongings unattended.

- Capetonians often pay their car guards R5 - R10 for "watching their car"

- If you are taking a taxi, we suggest UBER black or a registered cab company that your hotel can recommend. Do not hail a taxi down.

- Make sure you are also prepared for weather that can change rapidly; bring sunblock and something warm to wear. Cape Town can have 4 seasons in a day.

- We suggest that if you are hiring a car, that you have a GPS installed. Many road names have been changed and a map book might not be up to date.

- That said, please stick to the main highways (N1, N2, M5, M3 and N7) The GPS will give you the fastest route, but not always the best route. Try keep to these roads to avoid confusion and getting lost.

- If you are planning on getting a local sim card for your stay please make sure to bring ID/Passport with you for this. Your hotel or someone at the airport might be able to help you with this.

- Please double check with your local visa office on the up to date paperwork that you will need before leaving your country of residence. Please make sure your passport has 3 clear back to back pages in it.

- You do not need any vaccines to enter Cape Town (Different websites give a list of recommended ones) However, if traveling from a country that has yellow fever, you must have proof of immunization for this. If you are travelling to the Kruger Park you might be required to take malaria tablets, but this depends on the area, it is not always necessary.

- Capetonians are not always fans of signaling before they change lanes while driving, make sure you are aware of this, especially on the highways.

- It is illegal to talk on your cellphone while driving, if caught, your phone will be confiscated for 24 hours and you will need to pay a hefty fine.

- Please do not drink and drive.

- Water shortages are a possibility, please adhere to the rules while in Cape Town. They change as the dams fill up or run dry, so ask your hotel or travel agent for more information on this. The shortages should not affect your trip in anyway.

- South Africa experiences load shedding often (power outages), we highly suggest checking with the local travel agents if the hotels you are staying at have generators. Not all air bnb's or bed and breakfasts have generators, and sometimes the power is out between 2 - 4 hours per day. Most main tourists spots, shopping malls and restaurants do have generators, so this should not affect you too much. We suggest investing in power banks for your phones as a back up just in case.

- The water is safe to drink, but there is ample bottled water if you are concerned
