Ofc its is a wonderful country where u can see wonderful beaches , and mix of so many cultures languages I hope I'll see there one day greetings from turkey .
What about the power cuts which are a nightmare
@@robertnivison968 We discussed this in the video.
@@BartSaiyan wow, the misinformation and fear mongering in this comment. Where are you from?
@@BartSaiyan You sound like an expat banging on about how horrible SA is from you lovely “new” country. Tell me I’m wrong.
I love Cape Town, was there in December and already coming back in April. One of the best places of the World.
I second you on that.. Il be there in November to Feb this time for some awesome underground party in paarl Valley Val Val de.. Epic epic... What a invite...
I live there I am South African
@@carmenbeukes7819 Is it safe there?
@@knockknock1246 yep
@@carmenbeukes7819 I'd love to visit , we could swap houses ..I'm from Ireland
Went on this trip with 100 other college students, best trip of my life. Tons of stuff to do including sky-diving, hikes, bunjee jumping, safari rides, shark cage diving, boat rides, and paragliding, atv riding, and some bars were open till 4 am. 100% would recommend if your in your 20s
Why am I watching this? I'm from Cape Town 😂. Everything very much on point. December is a vibe on its own in South Africa. Capetonians are the best and most friendly kind. 12 Apostles is especially luxurious. Llandudno and 4th beach is special.
Brilliant guys. A comprehensive overview of travelling to and visiting Cape Town. We are coming in April for 3 weeks for the first time in 22 years. Really looking forward to it!
Thanks for such a detailed and informative video. I'm just at the beginning stages of planning a caravaning trip to South Africa and Cape Town is one of the destinations on our list.
Your guide was very helpful as we planned our trip. Thank you for putting this great resource together!
Well done you two! Accurate, practical and fun to watch...a very good go-to for all visitors. Even us Saffers that have not been around all too often for all too long...
I would add a safety tip from personal experience - I found that there are quite a lot of people who persistently beg and follow you down the street if you are walking alone. If it happens, just ignore them and most of them are harmless, but don't turn down a street that's a bit quiet and offer any easy opportunities. It happened to me in Cape Town. They started bothering me as I exited the supermarket (Spar in Cape Quarter for those who are familiar) and then I ignored and went one block down the street and they followed me. Suddenly the street was very quiet and they took the opportunity to try and rob the contents of my backpack. Luckily a minibus taxi just happened to drive by and the driver very kindly helped scare him away. I don't mean to scaremonger, because despite this, it's still one of my favourite cities in the world. Also, based on the reaction I got from locals when I told them my experience, they admitted that these things can happen but they said it was quite uncommon.
Thank you for sharing your tip Sam🙏🏻. We’re sorry you had to go through that. So glad you still love the city though❤️
@@RhettandClaire No worries, most South Africans I met are absolutely wonderful. Can't wait to go back 🙏
Spectacular video! Thank you so much. As we begin planning for our trip to your beautiful city we came across you video. You both are delightful to watch and your information is very comprehensive, wow! We appreciate your subscribers adding their own experiences as well, thank you. ❤
Brilliant video Rhett and Claire. Well done. Gosh it makes me miss home. Luckily we are coming in June, best month to go to the Kruger. We are doing Cape Town and the garden route. So excited for this trip. We have booked most things but still arranging a meeting to see what the group wants to do activity wise. Keep up the great content
Nice video, very informative! Cape Town looks absolutely amazing, lot to see and do!
Thank you so much for your comprehensive introduction to cape town which my wife and I are planning to visit this May of 2023. I was surfing the net and google led me here to you guys, R & C!!! Cheers from Fremont, California.

Hello Rhett and Claire, thank you so much for a well thought out, comprehensive guide to Cape Town. You touched everything you need to know when visiting Cape Town, Harriet and I are
looking forward to more great vids from there. We hope to plan a trip for this December. Who do you use when booking flights? Love You dearly🙏❤🙏 Harriet, Jim and Yuki.
Richmond, Va.
Hi fam! So glad you enjoyed the video🥰. We generally book directly with an airline but sometimes Travelstart has really good deals so we book with them. You can use Scott’s cheap flights because you’re in the states 😁
Prepare yourselves for lots of wind in December. I recommend moving your departure to mid-February to April that's the best time for a visit to Cape Town (I lived in CT for 40 years)
Good explanation looking forward to visit cape town soon.
Thanks guys for this super informtional video!!!
Amazing video I hope one day be able to do it!
Thanks excellent information. I going to cape town in August for two weeks.

Watching from Jamaica 🇯🇲
I was just in Kenya and cape Town is next on my list
Excellent video.
Thanks for compliment that's where I leave at the moment
I love this couple
Very informative.. ❤❤
I'm a South African i live cape Town so beautiful ❤️
Thanks for a great and very helpful video. Cape Town will be my big trip for 2024, so starting my research now. The biggest problem being that I only have 2.5 weeks and I’d love to squeeze a flight up to Victoria Falls in as well…probably not realistic. I’ll have to do some serious prioritizing as I won’t be able to do all the things I’d like.
Small correction. Bobotie is a Cape Malay dish, also part of traditional Afrikaans cuisine. Seldom see it outside the Western Cape. So not our national dish. Problem is that every culture in the country has its own favourite dish. But what is the common popular dish is barbecued meat and some sort of starch, primarily maize meal. Various names such as braai en pap, shisanyama, etc.
New subbie :) great video as I'm visiting soon for the 1st time, question about how bad are the mosquitos and which types/brands would you recommend?
Thank you for subbiiing🥰. The mosquitoes aren’t too bad and some places don’t have any at all. It really depends on your accommodation. Just bring any products that work at home for you. Or any deet products😊🙏🏻
@@RhettandClaire thank you :)
I am from UK
Coming to Cape town in April.
Thank u guys for this video
Very helpful.
Amazing! You’re going to have a great time😁🙌🏻
Let's visit together am in kenya planning to do a trip too
@@brendagitonga8040 that's great how can I contact u
Cool video
Thanks Rhett n Claire
I have been to Cape Town three times now I’m from the UK and simply love everything in CT.
And you are completely correct don’t go to Bo Kaap on your own as I’m a solo traveller I went nearly got robbed by four guys but luckily
I was passing a hotel went into that then the four guys disappeared so solo travellers stay vigilant
That has not put me off as I’m coming over in December for three months.
So sorry that happened to you Anthony! But we’re so glad you’re coming back and love it here😁🙌🏻
May I add that can happen to me in London as well.
@@tonygrant06 for sure, and New York City, and Paris. All the big cities in the world
As a Pakistani I fully support love and respect South Africa and its beautiful people from Pakistan 🙂. May Allah SWT bless South Africa and its beautiful people from Pakistan 🙂
We'll be visiting Cape Town in July for the world karate championship this year🎉❤ really excited
We didn’t even know that was happening here! That’s soooo cool😱🙌🏻
ville magnifique avec un charme exceptionnel , au cap de bonne espérance on se sent au bout du monde expérience ineffable nous y retournerons avec joie
Coming next week. Very excited about the rock pool. Are there others besides Saunders that you would recommend?
Maidens cove, Camps bay pools, and some on St James beach😁😁
Hopefully going beginning of October for first time looks incredible
I am also! I hope we get good weather!
❤️❤️❤️
Amazing Video, I live in Cape Town, and you touched all the great points!🤌 I would visit CPT if I lived out of CPT after watching your video
Hey Rhett and Chloe! Can i check if theres a requirement for yellow fever vaccine in SA? 😊 Thank you for the video! I'm coming from Singapode and this is going to be my second time in Cape Town! I'm bringing my wife and daugter who's quite nervous. Your sharing was really informative and helpful for her!
Seems like a very useful video. Will definitely coming back to it when planning to visit Cape Town soon.
Also, just a heads up about a small typo - the timestamps say electricity in India, rather than Capetown/South Africa.
Awesome! Thank you for letting us know🥹🙏🏻
What a great and informative video! Thank you so much for your work!
One question about insect repellent: do you use it every day, every time you go out? Should one buy it in their home country and take it or is it ok to look for one there?
You can look for one here! You sometimes don’t even need it at all🥰. It depends on where your accommodation is!
I heard Gin Tasting and I perked up!!! More information on where I may find these please!
Wah ..mantab sekali kalian keliling dunia jadi lebih tahu tentang budaya luar negeri dan kami bisa tahu masing² budaya di seluruh dunia
I've been looking into hiking table mountain and/or lion's head and seen advice about booking onto groups to do the hike rather than going just as a couple for safety concerns (in terms of pick pocketing etc. rather than hiking safety). What's your guy's advice for it? We're a couple and would be looking at hiking the main route so figured it should be busy enough in mid-September, would it be safe enough on our own or do you agree with others that we would be better off booking on to a group? Cheers.
Hi Rhett and Claire!!
Thank you so much for the expertise and in depth information!!
Question: do you have any advise on bringing items to the beach? I want to go for a dip or and want to leave my items unattended while I spend time in the water but I’m worried doing so will result in theft ..
Hey there! Good question. We generally ask someone on the beach to keep it. We ask families and groups of people that look trustworthy😊🙏🏻
Such an informative video. I am coming in March with my family. We are planning three days in the city and two days in the wine lands.
Any recommendations on which area to stay. Thanks much.
Cape Town is awesome!!!
Cool!
