Cape Town
Resting at the confluence of the Indian and Atlantic oceans, sandwiched between the slopes of the iconic Table
Mountain and the glistening sapphire waters of Table Bay, the exceptionally scenic city of Cape Town is in a class of
its own. Some cities boast rich culture, vibrant nightlife, a cosmopolitan atmosphere and extraordinary architecture,
while others boast breathtaking landscapes and extraordinary natural wonders. Cape Town is lucky enough to be
blessed with all of these attractions and so much more. With its bustling harbour, world-class beaches, top-notch
vineyards, and its mountainous surroundings brimming with diverse flora and fauna, Cape Town consistently
captivates the hearts of all who visit.

Table Mountain
Without a doubt it is Table Mountain that makes Cape Town the unique city it is. Rising up over 1000m above sea
level, it is the icon that makes Cape Town instantly recognizable. It is a symbol, a playground, a spiritual retreat and a
big draw card for tourists. So intertwined with the identity of Cape Town is Table Mountain that a visit to the city
isn’t complete without having walked or taken the cable car to the top.

Company Gardens
The Company Gardens is a treed haven in the middle of the city and is surrounded by museums and fascinating
buildings - St Georges Cathedral, the Salve Museum, The National Art Gallery and the Jewish Museum to mention a
few.

Castle of Good Hope

The Castle of Good Hope is the oldest surviving building in South Africa. Built between 1666 and 1679, this
pentagonal fortification replaced a small clay and timber fort built by Commander Jan van Riebeeck in 1652 upon
establishing a maritime replanishment station art the Cape of Good Hope for the Dutch East India Company, better
known as the VOC (VerenigdeOos-Indische Compagnie).

Bo Kaap
The colourful suburb of Bo Kaap was exclusively for coloured Muslims during the Colonial and Apartheid times and
today, this group still makes up the majority of residents. The quaint cobbled streets, the museum, the authentic
purveyors of Cape cuisine and Cape Town’s oldest spice emporium are all worth a visit.

Signal Hill
For awesome views of Table Mountain, the City, the harbour, Waterfront, 2010 Stadium, the suburbs of Green Point
& Sea Point and sunsets.

Camps Bay
Camps Bay is a wealthy coastal suburb located just ten minutes from the city bowl. Set on the slopes of Table
Mountain, it overlooks a series of beautiful sandy bays and the Atlantic Ocean beyond. Camps Bay is home to Cape

ImizamoYethu, arts and crafts, boat rides out to Seal Island and some great, casual restaurants where you can relax
and enjoy the surroundings.

Cape of Good Hope

Part of the Table Mountain National Park that extends from Signal Hill in the north all the way to Cape Point in the
south, the Cape of Good Hope is not the southern tip of Africa, despite lying at the south-west corner of the Cape
Peninsula, just a little south of Cape Point on the south-east corner.
 Page |8

Cape Agulhas, roughly 150 kilometres southeast of here, holds this title instead. The Cape of Good Hope, however,
remains a significant headland in the sense that from here one travels more eastward than southward, and it is not
hard to imagine that rounding of the cape in 1488 was a major achievement.

This said, the Cape of Good Hope is one of two world-renowned landmarks within the Table Mountain National Park,
the other is Table Mountain. These two familiar attractions are what draws thousands of visitors to Cape Town, not a
new attribute to the Cape of Good Hope that functioned as something of a beacon for sailors for years and is still
widely referred to as ‘The Cape’ by sea farers. the Cape Peninsula, just a little south of Cape Point on the south-east
corner.

Cape Point
Cape Point is a spectacular sight, covered in endemic fynbos and home to breathtaking bays, beaches and rolling
green hills and valleys, just 60km outside of Cape Town. Cape Point falls within the Cape Floral Region, a World
Heritage Site. The Cape Floral Region is one of the richest areas for plants in the world – it is home to nearly 20% of
Africa’s flora. Cape Point is open daily and is a must-see.

Boulders Beach
Boulders Beach in Simon’s Town is ideal for kids as immense boulders shelter the cove from currents and large
waves - but please always take care. It is a rare pleasure to swim with the penguins but don't touch or feed them.
They might look cute and cuddly but their beaks are as sharp as razors and if they feel threatened they have no
qualms about nipping the odd finger or nose.

Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens

On the lower slopes of Table Mountain, the beautiful Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens showcases some of the Cape’s
rich flora. Taking centre stage here is the unique ‘fynbos’ vegetation. Those who work up an appetite while exploring
this garden paradise can visit the restaurant or tea room, which are fully stocked with delicious meals, yummy treats
and refreshing beverages. In summer, Sunday music concerts provide sunset entertainment. Kirstenbosch is rated as
the seventh best of its kind in the world.

The Gary Player Country Club Golf Course

The Gary Player Country Club Golf Course, designed by Gary Player, is an 18-hole par-72 walking course, with a 5km
running trail along the course. Built in an extinct volcanic crater, this immaculate golfing paradise conforms to the
stringent US PGA specifications and was recently named South Africa’s Best Golf Course in the World Golf Awards
2015. It is also home to the annual Nedbank Golf Challenge which plays host to some of the world’s golfing legends.

When construction of the Sun City Resort began in 1978, the decision was taken to build a golf course that would
rival the best in the world. Today, in spite of stiff competition, the Gary Player Country Club is deservedly ranked as
one of the most prestigious golf courses on the African continent.

Lost City Golf Course

The popularity of the Sun City Resort led to the design and development of the Lost City Country Club. Gary Player
was called upon again to extend his professional expertise by designing the golf course. Covered in the hardy Kikuyu
grass, much like the Gary Player Country Club golf course at Sun City, the course offers undulating plains, expansive
fairways, mountainous areas and small patches of desert. This superlative golf course also offers players a distinctive
region covered with a series of lakes that separate the 9th from the final hole. The 13th hole offers a green in the
shape of the African continent, complete with a pond that is home to numerous Nile Crocodiles; adding to the true
African appeal of this course.

and beautiful beaches of Cape Town; enjoy a local braai (barbecue) in the Soweto township; browse the bustling
Indian markets in Durban; or sample some of the world’s finest wines at the myriad wine estates dotting the Cape
Winelands. Some historical attractions to explore include the Zululand battlefields of KwaZulu-Natal, the Apartheid
Museum in Johannesburg and Robben Island, just off the coast of Cape Town. Above all else, its remarkably untamed
wilderness with its astonishing range of wildlife roaming freely across massive unfenced game reserves such as the
world-famous Kruger National Park. With all of this variety on offer, it is little wonder that South Africa has fast
become Africa’s most popular tourist destination.

Banking and Currency

The currency is the Rand, which is divided into 100 cents. There are R200, R100, R50, R20 and R10 notes. Coins come
in R5, R2, R1, 50c, 20c, 10c and 5c.

Banking

credit cards as well as travellers cheques. You can also obtain cash from automatic teller machines (ATMs). Several
international banks have branches in the main city centres. Always advise your bank that you are travelling outside
of the country as they might block your purchases if they are not informed.

Travel, Transport and Getting Around

Travelling around South Africa is relatively easy by air, road and rail.

Principal air routes are serviced by SAA and British Airways, operated by Comair. There are 2 low-cost carriers on
main routes, namely Kulula.com and Mango.

Facilitating travel around South Africa are 10 airports managed by the Airports Company South Africa (Acsa). In
addition, there are some 90 regional airports, including the Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport in Nelspruit
and the Skukuza Airport, offering access to the Kruger National Park.

An extensive tarred road system makes travelling in South Africa by vehicle convenient and easy. You will find gravel
roads in rural areas though. Note:

• A valid international driver's licence is required.

 P a g e | 19

• We drive on the left hand side of the road.

• Wearing seat belts is compulsory and cell phones can only be used ‘hands free'.
• Speed limits are generally set at 120km on freeways, 100km on secondary roads and 60km in urban areas.
• Toll fees apply on certain national roads.

Food, Drink and Cuisine Advice

Standards of hygiene in relation to food health and safety in South Africa, are generally high in hotels, restaurants,
pubs and nightspots. Tap water in South Africa is safe to drink and cook with when taken from taps in urban areas.
Not all tap water in rural areas is safe for consumption, so take precautions if necessary.

It is safe to eat fresh fruit, vegetables and salads, and put ice in your drinks. South Africa's fish, meat and chicken are
of excellent quality, so there is no need to limit yourself when enjoying the local cuisine.

Restaurants are subject to South Africa's food safety control legislation, which is implemented by local
government. Regulations include certification and regular inspections by health inspectors to ensure hygienic
standards are maintained.

Street food is not as common in South Africa as it is in other countries, although vendors selling traditional snacks
and meals can be found in city centres and townships. Food safety in such instances cannot always be guaranteed.

Climate and Weather

South African temperatures, which are measured in centigrade, average at highs of 28°C to average lows of 8°C in
the summer months while winter temperatures range from 1°C at night to around 18°C in the day. Average annual
rainfall is on the low side at under 500mm a year, making the country somewhat dry. Much of the rain falls in the
Western Cape in the winter, differing from the rest of the country, which experiences summer rainfall. On the plus
side, the South African climate boasts more than its fair share of sunshine, recording an average of 8.5 hours a day.

Clothing and Dress Recommendations

Summer

Bring clothes that are cool, light and comfortable because summer temperatures can get well into the 30 - 40 degree
Celsius range in some areas. Also bring an umbrella or raincoat during summer as this is when most of the country
gets its rain, but don't forget a swimming costume (bathing suit).

Winter

The winters are generally mild, comparing favourably with European summers. But there are days when
temperatures dive, especially in high-lying areas such as the Drakensberg, so be prepared with jerseys and
jackets. Cape Town gets its rain during the winter season so it’s advisable to bring rain gear along.

General

Always bring a hat, sunglasses and sunblock as the sun can be strong even in the winter months.

Walking shoes are a good idea all year-round, with warm socks in the winter.

If you are doing business in the country, business attire (suit and tie) is generally called for in the corporate sector,
but media for example generally dress more casually.

For game viewing, a couple of neutral-toned items will be useful, but there's no need to go overboard. A good pair of
walking shoes is also advisable.

For the evening, if you are dining at an upmarket restaurant or seeing a show, smart-casual attire is recommended.

Electricity and Plug Standards

Current is 220/240 volts at 50 cycles per second. A three-point round-pin adapter plug should be brought for your
electrical appliances - such adapters are also available at major airports..
