Im from Cape Town and often watch travel vlogs about Cape Town from the perspectives of both Americans and Europeans and honestly, many times I just cringe at how they (some not all) portray my city. You my friend did an excellent job - well done 👍🏻
Cape Town is so beautiful 😍 with so much to do. I could not choose 1, my faves are top of Table mountain; the chapmans peak drive to Cape of Good Hope; The wine routes; The sunsets; the summer concerts in the Kirstenbosch gardens; annual jazz festival; The New Years parades! Miss it so much!
I really liked it ,it feels like you got your info from the locals not just tour guides. Also love that you visited the smaller towns. You really get a feel for SA and the people there. Cape Town is a great city. But sometimes you will sit in a restaurant and there are no South Africans dining there.
Well done on a lovely visitor's intro to our beautiful Cape Town and a little of The Fairest Cape surrounds. Penguins are my #1 favourite ... with a visit to Simons Town Boulders Beach or Betty's Bay Stony Point a treat to always put a smile on one's face.
Great video. Going to Cape Town in March. Would you recommwnd staying in Camps Bay or somewhere closer to citycentre like Seapoint or Greenpoint? We love hiking and want to be able to walk to ocean and for dinner if possible.
Thanks! I don’t think you can go wrong with Camps Bay for that. I only spent a bit of time at Sea Point and Green Point and didn’t find them nearly as interesting. Have a great trip!
@@HenrySetGo thank you! And one more question. Did you feel the need to rent a car when staying in Camps Bay or better to take ubers everywhere. We will rent a car for garden route and when we stay in Franshhoek for 4 days but would love it if car is not needed for our 7 days in Cape Town.
Such a cool video. This has made me really want to visit but I have heard lots of people say South Africa is dangerous. Do you have any tips and tricks to staying safe??? TIA!
Thanks - I appreciate it! It was super fun for me to put together 🙂 Before I went, I watched this video, which helped to put safety into context. Check it out: th-cam.com/video/8gY53ZLX6qY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=V5xk9O-IATukcZTg
As a South African I don’t really believe the majority of the country is any more dangerous for visitors than most other countries. Watch your belongings in the big cities and I wouldn’t wander around unknown areas at night. The good things far outweigh the negatives. You will be warmly welcomed.
As an ex Capetonian, there is a high crime rate and it pays to read up on safety before visiting and take advice on where to drive etc. Having said that, loadshedding apart, it’s paradise for the moneyed classes.
Clarence drive and Chapmans Peak is NOT THE GARDEN ROUTE! It is part of CAPE TOWN. Get your facts right please. ONLY once you are at Plettenberg Bay you are there...
I never said it was. I mentioned the general area the Garden Route covered, and described the road trip in order to get there. Here's the transcript, or watch it again :) “Now, technically, the Garden Route is generally considered to be the 300 kilometres stretch of coast, starting from Mossel Bay in the West to Port Elizabeth in the East. But because we needed to rent a car from Cape Town in order to get there, make a few stops along the way, and return to Cape Town once we were done, our whole Garden Route road trip ended up being closer to about 1200 kilometres in the end. I can’t go over everything about the Garden Route, but here are a few of my highlights, and some things I think you should keep in mind if you go. The first part of our road trip leaving Cape Town was going for a drive through the stunning coastal highway of Chapman’s Peak.”

Those all sound awesome :)
As a local south african this was probably the best video I've seen. Just sorry no one invited you for n braai
The garden route towns are a whole different vibe during December as they are holiday destinations for most South Africans
Thanks very much! I’m still new to TH-cam, so that’s very encouraging to hear. It was a great trip.

I enjoyed your vlog omg🔥🔥🔥😩
You deserve a million followers and a million views
Thanks so much. More coming soon :)
The loadshedding is scheduled blackouts. It's, however, scheduled for different times in different areas. Normally takes two hours a day.
Thank you very much, it's a beautiful video, I would love to go there. 😊
Thanks!!
Wow stunning
Glad you had fun😁
There's more to the Westcoast, check it out when you come back.
How come you don't have milion followers. Video is amazing, greetings from Croatia, Zagreb
Thanks so much - that's so nice of you to say! There's more to come soon. And Croatia's definitely on my travel list!
What's your favourite activity/place in Cape Town? 😀

I wouldn’t get a car to get around Cape Town itself. I found it really easy to get around with Ubers.
how long did you stay in cape town😊
I was in Cape Town for about 3 wonderful weeks!
Such a cool video. This has made me really want to visit but I have heard lots of people say South Africa is dangerous. Do you have any tips and tricks to staying safe??? TIA!

While in Plettenberg Bay, dis you manage to do the Bungy jump?
Unfortunately not!
Before Robben Island became a prison it was a leper colony
Hello do you know any homeless shelter around sea point or Cape town that is safe and sound?

Give a South African money when you visit. We can’t even afford to view our own city.
