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.
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
Town’s most glamorous beach.

Hout Bay
The originally small fishing village of Hout Bay is now a popular suburb of Cape Town. Over and above being a lovely
family beach, it has many tourist attractions which include the World of Birds, a township tour to the vibrant
ImizamoYethu, arts and crafts, boat rides out to Seal Island and some great, casual restaurants where you can relax
and enjoy the surroundings.
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.

Travel Information
This vast country is undoubtedly one of the most culturally and geographically diverse places on earth. Fondly known
by locals as the 'Rainbow Nation', South Africa has 11 official languages and its multicultural inhabitants are
influenced by a fascinating mix of cultures. Discover the gourmet restaurants, impressive art scene, vibrant nightlife
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.
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
Banks are found in most towns, and are generally open from 09h00 to 15h30 on weekdays and 08h30 to 11h00 on
Saturdays (Closed Sundays and Public Holidays). Most of them offer foreign exchange services - with cash, bank &
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.
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:
Another means of getting around South Africa are luxury inter-city bus services such as Greyhound and Trans-Lux.
Metrobus buses are available for in-city transport. Metered taxis must be ordered by telephone. There is a hop-on-
hop-off bus in Cape Town and Johannesburg.
Our rail system includes the long-haul, inexpensive ShosholozaMeyl Metrorail trains. More luxurious options are the
Blue Train, Premier Classe and the steam train Rovos Rail. There is also the new Gautrain rapid transit
railway system in Gauteng Province which links Johannesburg, Pretoria, Ekhuruleni and OR Tambo International
Airport.
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.
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.
P a g e | 20
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.
