CAPE TOWN
EXPLORE
Table Mountain's Coastal Jewel
"Iconic Table Mountain, stunning beaches, and a vibrant cultural scene define this world-class city. Enjoy a Mediterranean climate, with warm, dry summers (Nov-Feb) perfect for outdoor adventures and exploring vineyards. Best visited year-round, with whale watching in winter/spring (Jun-Nov)."
THE SECRETE GIN BAR
Tucked away behind a delightful artisan chocolate cafe on Wale Street, this intimate courtyard bar specializes in local and international gins. With its 'medicinal' G&T menu and moody ambiance, it's a sophisticated escape from city buzz. Perfect for a pre-dinner aperitif or a relaxed evening, discover your new favourite botanical blend in this charming, almost speakeasy-style hideaway.
WOODY CAPE NATURE RESERVE
Part of Addo Elephant National Park, near Alexandria - requires a drive but a true gem near a broader region often visited from CT or as part of a Garden Route trip that could be linked. While technically a bit of a drive, for those extending their Cape exploration, Woody Cape's Alexandria Dune fields offer an awe-inspiring, otherworldly landscape. These vast, shifting coastal dunes are the largest in the Southern Hemisphere. Hike through pristine indigenous forest to emerge onto these massive sandscapes meeting the sea. It's a truly wild and unforgettable off-the-beaten-path adventure
THE ORANJEZICHT CITY FARM MARKET DAY (Granger Bay)
While becoming more popular, it retains a strong local vibe. Held every Saturday and Sunday at Granger Bay near the V&A Waterfront, it's more than a market; it's a community gathering. Find incredible organic produce, artisan foods, local crafts, and delicious ready-to-eat meals. It’s a fantastic place to support local, sustainable farming and enjoy a vibrant, authentic Cape Town morning atmosphere.
KLOOF CORNER HIKE
For breathtaking Table Mountain and city views without the intense crowds or commitment of longer trails, the Kloof Corner C-Path is a winner. This relatively short but steep hike involves some staples and chains, rewarding you with an incredible vantage point, especially at sunrise or sunset. It's a local favourite for a quick, impactful dose of mountain magic overlooking Camps Bay and Lion's Head.
Recommended Bring Alongs from Amazon
Lightweight, Packable Windbreaker Jacket: Cape Town is notorious for its "four seasons in one day," and the wind (especially the "Cape Doctor") can pick up unexpectedly. A windbreaker is essential for comfort when hiking Table Mountain, strolling along the V&A Waterfront, or visiting Cape Point.
Reusable Water Bottle with Filter: Tap water is generally safe, but having a filter bottle is great for hikes and reducing plastic waste. Staying hydrated is key, whether you're on the beach or exploring the city.
High SPF Sunscreen (30-50+): The African sun is strong, even on cooler days. Essential for beach days at Clifton or Camps Bay, wine tasting in the open, or any outdoor activity.
Comfortable Walking Shoes/Sneakers: You'll be doing a lot of walking, from cobbled streets in Bo-Kaap to promenade strolls and hikes. Good footwear is non-negotiable.
