This is probably one of the most conscious videos I've ever seen about Cape Town, as capetonians it's a struggle we have ourselves, but truly there is nothing like it anywhere else
It's really just an insanely gorgeous place. Just since leaving I've realized even more how much I enjoyed my time there. It's already near the top of my list, I'm really looking forward to going back! (Also thank you for watching and the kind words!) 🙏🏻❤️
Brilliant video and so glad you enjoyed your experience. Yes, Cape Town is a city of contrasts, courtesy of it's dark history, however, the majority of Capetonians are warm and hospitable. Hope to see you back again and who knows, maybe we hook up and hit some of gorgeous trails

Bro because you brought up how you felt about the inequality as well as history in your experience here for that I give credit to thanks for telling the truth with humanity to it we need visitors like you 👌 respect bro and definitely deserved of another subscriber
.... and how long are we going to keep on blaming the past for our woes for? Why don't we take some of the responsibility for once, we have major Social and moral issues in South Africa and we need to acknowledge that...... You know them unless you pretend to be blind. Stop this Blame game and start well for your life, this excuse is getting tired already. Black people must stop being crybabies and imbeciles and our government must start doing it work.... and also sort our this illegal immigration shit!
Bear in mind that there is no such thing as "equality" in Nature. It is a concept invented by immoral and ignorant politicians. Equal opportunity is what you actually mean, and this is vitally important, but it requires enormous effort, excellent education and total dedication.

All of South Africa is stunning, travel beyond Cape Town, honestly we live in one of thee most stunning countries in the world. You can never visit us once or twice or thrice and think you’ve seen SA, you’ve barely touched it. So much to see , touch, experience, hear and taste. Each region is unique and equally stunning
i'm from the cape but would argue that Natal is probably more beautiful than the cape - drakensberg, isimangaliso, north coast, midlands... definitely worth the trip
@@lm_b5080 I'm not convinced, it just lacks the culture of the Cape, and I'm never too sure when someone offers me a drink whether they want to put their arse or ice into it.
Props to you. I’m a Capetonian currently living in Vietnam and loving it, but the homesickness I got from watching this video was real. Keep up the good work.
Thank you for a wonderfully objective view of Cape Town. It is very beautiful and regardless of wealth disparities, all Capetonians are proud of their city.
This is absolutely the best, most beautiful city in the world. I say this having traveled to more than 160 countries in the world. History is history, everywhere has issues. Just by being a tourist in our beautiful country you are helping our beautiful people out of poverty.
Bless you thank you for making this video. Been living in UK for so many years. I feel that most people are still hesitant to visit my country and scared of what they see on news because most of the time our country doesn't get great publicity. But this video is true reflection of how life is for us South Africans. We live hosting people it makes us so proud when people choose to visit we always try to make people feel welcome and at home. I miss home and video made me feel so proud. Thank you so much safe travels and another happy subscriber for you. Stay well and happy travels
Ah this is so nice to hear! I'm glad you enjoyed it and it means so much that you feel it reflects life for residents there. I really loved it and can't wait to make another visit! 🙏🏻🇿🇦
Thank you for a lovely video and for being respectful and aware of our social issues. You won't believe how just supporting local businesses and tipping people can make a huge difference.
As a Capetonian living in the US, this is very well balanced. You've managed to capture a feeling that a lot of folks that live in Cape Town feel. You can be really comfortable there. I know I was, but that disparity does cause serious safety concerns. As much as I love living in the US, I miss Cape Town every.single.day. Not sure if you ventured towards the Melkbos area on the west coast, but next time you should check that part of Cape Town out :)
I appreciate that, thank you! It really is a special place for so many reasons, and I absolutely plan to go back one day for sure. I'll definitely check it out next time, thank you!!
Love this video! It really is a good and easy way to help at the right places if you tip low paid people like delivery drivers, Uber drivers, waiters etc. I see a lot of tourists giving money to people that harass them in an inappropriate way and it’s wrong to encourage that type of behaviour.
Thank you so much! It is! Definitely goes a long way. I was a waiter for years in New York, so I can relate to that life! Thanks so much for watching and the kind words!!
Wow what a FANTASTIC review. Yes we need tourists as our economy is literally dependant on it. A 2$US is the difference between having a loaf of bread and a litre of milk or going to bed hungry. Wealth is a privilege and tipping is very necessary. Thank you for your understanding and appreciation. Shout out to you from Cape Town ❤
You're correct in your observations. The inequalities are just glaring. Can you believe that South Africans (Africans that is) from neighbouring province, the Eastern Cape who now live there, are called migrants in Cape Town while they are in their own country? It's a beautiful city, but has its issues, discrimination and poverty being some of them.
The dynamics of present day in tandem with the history of the country are very interesting for sure! Regardless I absolutely love it and can't wait to go back. Thanks so much for watching!
@@TheWildernessChannelDid I actually blame W h i t e people in my original comment? Show me where I actually mentioned them above, or is it your conscience eating at you? While on the subject of migrants, let me say that many Xhosa people in Gugulethu, Langa, Khayelitsha, Nyanga and other areas of CPT have been there for a long time -- this isn't something recent as you're purporting. Langa was est. in 1923 under the Urban Areas Act, formally opened in '27. Nyanga in '46. So this fallacy that B l a c k people living in CPT is only a recent phenomenon is a fallacy. Many were born and raised in CPT. Yes, there are those who have moved there in recent times, coming from other provinces within RSA, however wouldn't you say they have just as much right to exist as everyone else who lives there since they're South African?
@@TheWildernessChannelI live in Gauteng and there are plenty of people from other provinces, including CPT/ WC who moved here for economic opportunities, yet you hardly will ever hear us telling them that they are migrants and should go back to their provinces as much as you do in CPT. Seems a lot of CPT residents call Black South Africans migrants with undertones of "they don't belong here, they are a burden, and are unwanted." That's at least the impression I usually get. Ironically, you have those from Russia, Serbia, UK, Holland, etc who migrated to CPT/ WC in recent times, but I never see the same treatment bestowed upon them. I wonder why? 🤔 Suddenly you want to make a distinction between the Khoi and Bantu as African groups and even claim that all Cape Malays are descendants of the Khoi -- a misconception since many have more Asian or even Euro DNA and less African (Khoi) DNA compared to say, the Xhosa. All this just so you can say they don't belong there, however those of Euro descent who are South African totally belong there, no questions asked. The a u d a c i t y! *All South Africans* should be comfortable living within RSA w/out self-appointed landlords and Historians policing them and telling them where they do belong and don't belong. This isn't the '50s.
@@_theerealnono_7694 Firstly, you need to learn to read and interpret ehat I said properly. You talked about discrimination and glaring wealth disparities in the Cape in your first comment. You are implying it is the whites, in that comment, so yes you did blame whites. Besides the whole thread of this video is about seeing the disparities in wealth as brought about by whitea and apartheid. That is the implication and don't try to deny it. Every foreigner who travels to South Africa brings this up. It is the elephant in the room and helps them to gain virtue signalling points. Secondly, I did not say that blacks were not allowed in Cape Town, I merely noted that the black population in Cape Town was always very low at 4%, and that since 1994 there has been a massive influx of bantu people into Cape Town, many of them being foreigners. It now stands at at around 40%, perhaps more. That is clear evidence that the Cape was not traditionally the home of the bantu. That is an historic fact. You can't deal with the fact that the bantu people colonised southern Africa by driving out the Khoi/San, who were the original inhabitants. Now you insult them by denying that the Cape coloureds are the descendents of the hottentot people. I will also say that I resent the fact that there are foreigners of all kinds (Europeans included) who have swooped in and taken advantage of the chaos that is ANC rule. I stand by my original statement, and wrote it to set things straight. I will willingly acknowledge the history of apartheid, but I am sick of hearing falsehoods being pedalled by the other side. The history needs to be even handed, or are you going to deny the Mfecane happened, or that the ANC murdered and tortured their own people in their bases outside of South, or the reprehensible practice of necklacing. The economic disparities in South Africa now fall squarely at the feet of the communist ANC who had 30 years to properly educate all out citizens, but chose instead to lower the standards and destroy our education system. Open discrimination against whites has only forced them to adapt and become more versatile in finding ways to survive. Their economic success is partly driven by the actions of the ANC who have added over 125 anti-white laws against white South Africans. Yet they have allowed organised Russian and Nigerian criminals into our country. Worse than that, they are working with George Soros, a man who believes in exterminating people. Focud your attention on the real enemies of our country. The white South Africans are not the problem.
As a Capetonian, I can say this is such an honest video. You captured both the beauty and the beast that is often overlooked about Cape Town. Hope you come back soon for some more good times in South Africa 🇿🇦
Ah that means so much, thank you for watching and for taking the time to say that! I definitely hope to be back, it's become one of my favorite cities in the world! 🤩
Thanks for your video! It’s really cool to see your perspective and you bring up issues that we as Capetonians (and South Africans in general) are still grappling with. From what I’ve seen, healthy tourism really is so valuable to us here. It directly funds small, locally owned businesses (like those Bo-Kaap restaurants) and incentivizes us to maintain our naturally rich and attractive biodiversity. More importantly, I think it allows people to see that we are trying and that no help goes to waste. I’m still a student and I have a lot to learn but I want to be able to work to make things better here. Then when you come back you can see even more joy!
Thank you for watching and for sharing YOUR perspective! I love that you're committed to improving the area, the world needs more people like you. I can't wait to see what changes for next time!
Wow, very well shot and narrated video. It's true what you say about the wealth disparity. However, the ANC led government has had 32 years to try to fix this and failed their supporters miserably; still blaming the previous regime for this, whilst enriching themselves. Born and bred Cape Town and have experienced it all. Thanks for the marketing video and exposing some of the truths so visitors don't just come with the wrong idea...
Thank you so much! The politics of it all are super intricate, I'm sure experiencing it first hand like you have can be especially challenging at times. It's such a beautiful place though, and I hope many people get the chance to see it in their lifetimes! 🙏🏻
Thanks. I love Cape Town, too. I appreciate how you share your struggle to reconcile your love of the beautiful there with the reality of the inequality that remains after 30 years of democracy. I wish more travelers were more thoughtful in their approach to the places they visit, but you are setting a great example.
@@Get.Lost.Travel I lived in Cape Town for a year during the apartheid era. I am a white American. Some fun facts from back then: (1) The local commuter trains were segregated by race, so different cars were set aside for whites and non-whites. Local buses, on the other hand, were integrated, so when I wanted to do something with my black Angolan friend, we took the bus together. (2) The University of Cape Town, which I attended, was required by law to be a white university. BUT...if you were non-white and wanted to pursue a field of study not offered in non-white universities, you were allowed to attend UCT. As a result, there was a higher proportion of non-white students at UCT when I was there than there was at my liberal university in the United States. (3) I encountered Marxist theory applied to academic subjects for the first time in my life while at UCT. I'm not suggesting apartheid was better than we think---just that there were some interesting anomolies in those days.
I am a Tour Guide for 23 years in Cape town, and 26 years all together in Tourism. I appreciate your video alot and the awareness that you bring to so many sectors of our society, we salute and appreciate you. God Bless you in all your endeavors. 🙏
Well done - you did a great job covering my city. Even though it was a short 10min video, you nailed it 👍🏻 especially for an American 😉 (also, it felt authentic)
Lived in Cape Town my entire life (41 years) ; aside from some time spent in the US doing some college: that being said.. this video is an absolute gem - your even-handed, conscious and impartial synopsis is certainly appreciated. Liked and Subscribed now dude!
The level of awareness in your vid👍👍 I'm jealous you got to spend a month there, we will only have a few days as part of a wider SA trip. Can't wait to check out your other content ❤️
Ah that's so kind! I'm also jealous that you're doing a larger-scale SA trip! I've barely scratched the surface on the country as a whole, but I'll be going back for sure. Thank you so much, I hope you enjoy it! 😊🙏🏻
Loved your video on amazing Cape Town. Tourism is one of the best ways to bring wealth to those who do not have it In South Africa. It is a sustainable resource and needs to be nurtured.
Thank you!! I normally do visit quite a few museums, but admittedly I didn't in Cape Town! Maybe it's just because I was so amazed by the natural beauty I was more inclined to be outside? Gives me something great to do next time I'm in town! ❤
Absolutely. The whole thesis of the video is that the difference here is how in-your-face it is and with how luxury and poverty in South Africa live across the street from each other, but in other countries (by design) people have kept it more separate so they can avoid facing it. You're saying exactly what I'm saying!
Hey there thanks for sharing your video as a Capetonian myself. Btw where did you go to feed ostriches here as I would like to take my British friend there for a visit.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! For sure! It was part of a full day tour that I really enjoyed, here is the affiliate link if you'd like to have your friend book it! It would mean a lot t use that link if they do book, it helps the channel a lot! Also it was genuinely an incredible day. ❤️ ➡️ www.vi.me/gxw== ⬅️
I'm trying! Sort of working on how to figure out my own personal connection to each place, I appreciate it!! And actually, there isn't one! The language in South Africa is primarily English, and it's the official language used on all signage, etc. The locals often speak Afrikaans as well, but you might as well be in London as far as language is concerned.
As a South African living abroad, kudos for this video👏🏽🎉Authentic and honest! If you ever find yourself in South Africa again visit other provinces, there's soooo much more to South Africa than Cape Town i.e. Johannesburg, Durban, Port Elizabeth, Bloemfontein to name a few cities. Our country challenges aside, South Africa is an incredibly beautiful country in its entirety!🇿🇦
The 1st & 3rd world come face to face with each other in Cape Town against one of Gods most spectacular natural backdrops That can be quite unsettling for visitors to our city. (A very nice little dip into it video from this endearing little gourmet). Compliments for photography & editing.
It's definitely a super unique experience for sure. One I'll definitely never forget, and am for sure looking forward to my next visit. Thank you so much!! 🙏🏻
I live in th Free State, but I would like to recommend that you visit Mpumalanga. The beauty of Mpumalanga touches the human spirit like no other place in South Africa. Or at least it did that me.
as a person who was born and grew up here i remember the waterfront and winerys and how much it changed but also how much for busy it is nowadays, i can hardly walk around without getting overwhelmed or bumping into people. i still remember begging as a kid to visit the the scratch patch for gemstones and trying to fit as many of them in the tiny bag. also your pronunciation is pretty good compared to others please
You can also go on township tours, shop at local markets, and support South African artists by buying our books, music and art! Hope you visit again soon - there is always MORE to see and do here!
Thank you so much, I'm glad you liked it!! 🙏🏻 I saved all the Food/Wine stuff for a second video, actually! Has a whole moment over here th-cam.com/video/HJPMb2Q7Seo/w-d-xo.html
The flowers and plants are truly unique here. The Cape Floristic Kingdom/Fynbos is made up of 9000+ plant species, many of which only can be found here and nowhere else in the world. Look after local plants, they are special. Much love from the Cape Flats Sand Fynbos Region 🌍
This is why i love my city. I hope you managed to at least go to the spice route or route44 if you telling me that you stayed close to the city for that entire time then you still have allot of exploring todo 😅. There are so much more places to see. Did you manage to eat a gatsby?
As a tourist the same applies to every traveller: Respect the people and spend money, South Africa's Tourism potential is almost unmatched in the world. Inequality is all over and it's not tourists' responsibility to solve it. SA people need to solve SA problems. So go visit, have a blast, be aware of your surroundings, be safe and spend money like there's no tomorrow!
As an South African who lives in Cape Town, Our City is one of the best, But, There are a tonn of homeless and dangerous areas Near the city, As someone who lives in a pretty safe neighborhood i can say we still get crimes, and lets not talk about the Cape Flats and Mitchells Plain.... But Cape Town is still really beautiful and i would recommend our Western Cape province to anyone who is wanting to go on holiday over seas :>
I want to go back there some day. I spent half my life there. You can live your whole life there and not know how bad it really is in certain places until you live in those areas
GREAT VIDEO!!! As a South African, I always say (hypothetically) IF I was forced to live in South Africa long term, the ONLY place I will live in is Cape Town✅ Otherwise I won't live in SA due to the major safety concerns everywhere and other personal preferences😊 (hence why I am moving abroad permanently SOON) ... But when I come back to visit my beautiful country, I would always want to go to Cape Town🏙 FYI: The Western Cape province is divided into 2 parts. CAPE TOWN and THE GARDEN ROUTE. I lived most my life in the Garden Route side of the Western Cape province. It is INSANELY beautiful. Arguably even more hidden gems and nature scenes than Cape Town. But Cape Town is special because it is more developed than any other cities in SA. (and definitely safer than Johannesburg City)
Thank you so much!! Truly, Cape Town is just insanely beautiful I'm so glad I got the chance to visit. I would also love to explore more, definitely deep into the Garden route, etc! ❤️🇿🇦
What you saying doesn’t make sense. Cape Town is the most dangerous city in South Africa. It records the highest crimes rates in the country when you look at the top 10 most dangerous places in the country. So clearly safety is not an issue for you. It’s also not more developed than Joburg. Not by a long shot. Saying it is shows you haven’t been anywhere else in the country. Cape Town is however much less integrated than any other city, but that can’t be the reason why you like it is it…………….This delusional thinking of non native settlers from Cape Town is what is bad for this country.
Its so weird😅. Iive 15 minutes away from Cape Town, I agree it's a total tourist playground. I actively avoide it, it can be overwhelming sometimes and very very pricey, so i just stick to the suburbs. The way I view it, is that its a place for the tourists to have fun and have a relatively safe space to enjoy their visit or holiday or whatever.
I totally agree. People should enjoy the Cape. I am 24 km from the waterfront and can get there in less than 30min. A day where I am not startled by gun fire is rare. Behind all the beauty lies the true effects of capitalism and it is really wretched.
Growing up and living in South Africa shows you a crazy diversity. I grew up in a middle class family, But as an adult I'm classed an "lower class" or living on the bread line. Minimum wage is not enough to live on, even when sharing a home. I used to live in a one bedroom house with my partner and another couple and their kid. One bedroom, one bathroom, and a kitchen big enough to fit a fridge, a stove, and a basin. We slept on a single bed in the "living room". My partner has gotten a good job that pays him a bit better now, so we can afford a bachelor flat, but I haven't had money to spend on myself since I lived with my parents. The wealth disparity is massive, but people are working to change that.
Great video, and its awesome to see the bit of history you added. While I'm extremely greatful for this, being here for a whole month, it would've been nice to see a bit of the struggling coloured communities who have also suffered from the segregation. The coloured communities are a mixed race peopled (reaces such as Khoisan, white, black, Cape Malay), some coming from bloodlines of the Khoikhoi and San people who later joined and became the Khoisan people.
However, I do understand this it not a history specific channel, and the video is mainly concentrating on boosting the tourist attractions, whilst not forgetting there are still places of struggle wherever one goes.
Yeah we blame it on the apartheid government and on all the capitalist Hedgemon that made sure to keep control of the economy after apartheid ended. If your bitter about this country because of equality then you might as well head home to Europe. We dont need negative people like you here whilst we are building on the future. Your problem is that you hate equality and the fact that black people control this country. GO HOME. Well Done to this guy for pointing out the truth however bad it looks, its the truth!!!!!!
Cool video! As a fan of cable cars, I'd love to get into one of them (anywhere in the world, doesn't really matter to me tbh) just for the views. haha I LOVE the incredible views while you're inside and also at the destination (just like in this case with the top of Table Mountain view). Keep up the great work as always! 🫡
Thank you so much!! Yeah the trip up to Table Mountain and back down is honestly half the fun! I did a similar one in Bogota Colombia that was smaller but also super scenic. You're going to love it!
You were so close to the winelands and did not visit!? :O If you come again, you really need to spend time in the Winelands and Garden Route... It's a continuation of what you've experienced in Cape Town and in a lot of cases even better! Depending on the time of year you might even experience snow and it's no more than like 90 minutes drive from Cape Town itself.
I know! I don't really drive so renting a car wasn't an option, so I felt a bit limited beyond where I could go by bus, etc. Very glad I did make it to at least one winery! Even if it is the most touristy one 😂 Next time if I go with friends I will for sure!
I know quite a few Capetownians who have never left the western cape.. and if they do its to go overseas. Lots of other cool places in South Africa but maybe not as tourist friendly.. Kruger park is definitely worth a visit for Americans
There is so much more of SA that I want to see! I'll definitely check out much more beyond the Cape on my next visit, excited to see more of the country! 🙏🏻
I honestly just want to say thank you for watching! ❤ I have some more videos that maybe you will click on? And maybe also watch? 🥲

It's so incredibly beautiful, you are very lucky to live there!! ❤️🇿🇦
This is absolutely the best, most beautiful city in the world. I say this having traveled to more than 160 countries in the world. History is history, everywhere has issues. Just by being a tourist in our beautiful country you are helping our beautiful people out of poverty.
Well said! And wow, what an accomplishment 160 countries! 👏🏻
Bless you thank you for making this video. Been living in UK for so many years. I feel that most people are still hesitant to visit my country and scared of what they see on news because most of the time our country doesn't get great publicity. But this video is true reflection of how life is for us South Africans. We live hosting people it makes us so proud when people choose to visit we always try to make people feel welcome and at home. I miss home and video made me feel so proud. Thank you so much safe travels and another happy subscriber for you. Stay well and happy travels
Ah this is so nice to hear! I'm glad you enjoyed it and it means so much that you feel it reflects life for residents there. I really loved it and can't wait to make another visit! 🙏🏻🇿🇦
As a South African
I'm subscribing to your channel. You catered Cape Town on this video with true justice 🎉🎉 well-done
I'm so glad! I really appreciate it, and am so glad you're here 😊🇿🇦
Thank you for a lovely video and for being respectful and aware of our social issues. You won't believe how just supporting local businesses and tipping people can make a huge difference.
Thank you for watching!! It's so true, and something we should all be really aware of! ❤️
Hopefully the local businesses will employ locals and not exploit cheap foreign labour.
What a great video! You did my city justice, the good and the bad.
Thank you so much, that means a lot! 🙏🏻
As a Capetonian living in the US, this is very well balanced. You've managed to capture a feeling that a lot of folks that live in Cape Town feel. You can be really comfortable there. I know I was, but that disparity does cause serious safety concerns. As much as I love living in the US, I miss Cape Town every.single.day. Not sure if you ventured towards the Melkbos area on the west coast, but next time you should check that part of Cape Town out :)
I appreciate that, thank you! It really is a special place for so many reasons, and I absolutely plan to go back one day for sure. I'll definitely check it out next time, thank you!!
Love this video! It really is a good and easy way to help at the right places if you tip low paid people like delivery drivers, Uber drivers, waiters etc. I see a lot of tourists giving money to people that harass them in an inappropriate way and it’s wrong to encourage that type of behaviour.
Thank you so much! It is! Definitely goes a long way. I was a waiter for years in New York, so I can relate to that life! Thanks so much for watching and the kind words!!
Wow what a FANTASTIC review. Yes we need tourists as our economy is literally dependant on it. A 2$US is the difference between having a loaf of bread and a litre of milk or going to bed hungry. Wealth is a privilege and tipping is very necessary. Thank you for your understanding and appreciation. Shout out to you from Cape Town ❤
Thank you so much!! Most definitely, I appreciate the kind words! 🙏🏻
You're correct in your observations. The inequalities are just glaring. Can you believe that South Africans (Africans that is) from neighbouring province, the Eastern Cape who now live there, are called migrants in Cape Town while they are in their own country? It's a beautiful city, but has its issues, discrimination and poverty being some of them.
The dynamics of present day in tandem with the history of the country are very interesting for sure! Regardless I absolutely love it and can't wait to go back. Thanks so much for watching!

Don’t talk kak hey…
@@TheWildernessChannelDid I actually blame W h i t e people in my original comment? Show me where I actually mentioned them above, or is it your conscience eating at you?
While on the subject of migrants, let me say that many Xhosa people in Gugulethu, Langa, Khayelitsha, Nyanga and other areas of CPT have been there for a long time -- this isn't something recent as you're purporting. Langa was est. in 1923 under the Urban Areas Act, formally opened in '27. Nyanga in '46. So this fallacy that B l a c k people living in CPT is only a recent phenomenon is a fallacy. Many were born and raised in CPT.
Yes, there are those who have moved there in recent times, coming from other provinces within RSA, however wouldn't you say they have just as much right to exist as everyone else who lives there since they're South African?
@@TheWildernessChannelI live in Gauteng and there are plenty of people from other provinces, including CPT/ WC who moved here for economic opportunities, yet you hardly will ever hear us telling them that they are migrants and should go back to their provinces as much as you do in CPT.
Seems a lot of CPT residents call Black South Africans migrants with undertones of "they don't belong here, they are a burden, and are unwanted." That's at least the impression I usually get. Ironically, you have those from Russia, Serbia, UK, Holland, etc who migrated to CPT/ WC in recent times, but I never see the same treatment bestowed upon them. I wonder why? 🤔
Suddenly you want to make a distinction between the Khoi and Bantu as African groups and even claim that all Cape Malays are descendants of the Khoi -- a misconception since many have more Asian or even Euro DNA and less African (Khoi) DNA compared to say, the Xhosa. All this just so you can say they don't belong there, however those of Euro descent who are South African totally belong there, no questions asked. The a u d a c i t y! *All South Africans* should be comfortable living within RSA w/out self-appointed landlords and Historians policing them and telling them where they do belong and don't belong. This isn't the '50s.
@@_theerealnono_7694 Firstly, you need to learn to read and interpret ehat I said properly. You talked about discrimination and glaring wealth disparities in the Cape in your first comment. You are implying it is the whites, in that comment, so yes you did blame whites. Besides the whole thread of this video is about seeing the disparities in wealth as brought about by whitea and apartheid. That is the implication and don't try to deny it. Every foreigner who travels to South Africa brings this up. It is the elephant in the room and helps them to gain virtue signalling points. Secondly, I did not say that blacks were not allowed in Cape Town, I merely noted that the black population in Cape Town was always very low at 4%, and that since 1994 there has been a massive influx of bantu people into Cape Town, many of them being foreigners. It now stands at at around 40%, perhaps more. That is clear evidence that the Cape was not traditionally the home of the bantu. That is an historic fact. You can't deal with the fact that the bantu people colonised southern Africa by driving out the Khoi/San, who were the original inhabitants. Now you insult them by denying that the Cape coloureds are the descendents of the hottentot people. I will also say that I resent the fact that there are foreigners of all kinds (Europeans included) who have swooped in and taken advantage of the chaos that is ANC rule. I stand by my original statement, and wrote it to set things straight. I will willingly acknowledge the history of apartheid, but I am sick of hearing falsehoods being pedalled by the other side. The history needs to be even handed, or are you going to deny the Mfecane happened, or that the ANC murdered and tortured their own people in their bases outside of South, or the reprehensible practice of necklacing. The economic disparities in South Africa now fall squarely at the feet of the communist ANC who had 30 years to properly educate all out citizens, but chose instead to lower the standards and destroy our education system. Open discrimination against whites has only forced them to adapt and become more versatile in finding ways to survive. Their economic success is partly driven by the actions of the ANC who have added over 125 anti-white laws against white South Africans. Yet they have allowed organised Russian and Nigerian criminals into our country. Worse than that, they are working with George Soros, a man who believes in exterminating people. Focud your attention on the real enemies of our country. The white South Africans are not the problem.
As a Capetonian, I can say this is such an honest video. You captured both the beauty and the beast that is often overlooked about Cape Town. Hope you come back soon for some more good times in South Africa 🇿🇦
Ah that means so much, thank you for watching and for taking the time to say that! I definitely hope to be back, it's become one of my favorite cities in the world! 🤩
Just leaving a good comment for the algorithm 👌
As a Cape Townian i appreciate the representation! Great video
Ah thank you!! 😭🙏🏻 It's such a beautiful place, I can't wait to visit again!
Thanks for your video! It’s really cool to see your perspective and you bring up issues that we as Capetonians (and South Africans in general) are still grappling with.
From what I’ve seen, healthy tourism really is so valuable to us here. It directly funds small, locally owned businesses (like those Bo-Kaap restaurants) and incentivizes us to maintain our naturally rich and attractive biodiversity. More importantly, I think it allows people to see that we are trying and that no help goes to waste.
I’m still a student and I have a lot to learn but I want to be able to work to make things better here. Then when you come back you can see even more joy!
Thank you for watching and for sharing YOUR perspective! I love that you're committed to improving the area, the world needs more people like you. I can't wait to see what changes for next time!
I'm a seafarer and there is no greater sight than coming into Table Bay. There is a saying that goes, God lives in Africa and visits everywhere else.
I can imagine, wow that must be such a sight. Love the saying! 🙏🏻🇿🇦
Wow, very well shot and narrated video. It's true what you say about the wealth disparity. However, the ANC led government has had 32 years to try to fix this and failed their supporters miserably; still blaming the previous regime for this, whilst enriching themselves. Born and bred Cape Town and have experienced it all. Thanks for the marketing video and exposing some of the truths so visitors don't just come with the wrong idea...
Thank you so much! The politics of it all are super intricate, I'm sure experiencing it first hand like you have can be especially challenging at times. It's such a beautiful place though, and I hope many people get the chance to see it in their lifetimes! 🙏🏻
Thanks. I love Cape Town, too. I appreciate how you share your struggle to reconcile your love of the beautiful there with the reality of the inequality that remains after 30 years of democracy. I wish more travelers were more thoughtful in their approach to the places they visit, but you are setting a great example.
I appreciate it! It's definitely a tough balancing act, but I'm trying! 🙏🏻❤️
@@Get.Lost.Travel I lived in Cape Town for a year during the apartheid era. I am a white American. Some fun facts from back then: (1) The local commuter trains were segregated by race, so different cars were set aside for whites and non-whites. Local buses, on the other hand, were integrated, so when I wanted to do something with my black Angolan friend, we took the bus together. (2) The University of Cape Town, which I attended, was required by law to be a white university. BUT...if you were non-white and wanted to pursue a field of study not offered in non-white universities, you were allowed to attend UCT. As a result, there was a higher proportion of non-white students at UCT when I was there than there was at my liberal university in the United States. (3) I encountered Marxist theory applied to academic subjects for the first time in my life while at UCT. I'm not suggesting apartheid was better than we think---just that there were some interesting anomolies in those days.
I am a Tour Guide for 23 years in Cape town, and 26 years all together in Tourism. I appreciate your video alot and the awareness that you bring to so many sectors of our society, we salute and appreciate you. God Bless you in all your endeavors. 🙏
Ah, such love and respect for tour guides!!! 🙏🏻 Thank you so much, it's such an incredible place to visit!!
@@Get.Lost.Travel Thank you. I am glad you enjoyed your time in Cape town. Thank you for sharing and helping sharing Cape town with the world. 🙏
As a Capetonian, I really enjoyed this video. Well done buddy. You captured it well, and were pretty funny 😄
Thank you so much! 😊🙏🏻
Bro I’m from Cape Town ❤️🇿🇦 thank you for like my city ❤❤
You're lucky, it's one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen!
Well done - you did a great job covering my city. Even though it was a short 10min video, you nailed it 👍🏻 especially for an American 😉 (also, it felt authentic)
Thank you so much, it's a really beautiful city!! One of my favorites! I appreciate it! 🙏🏻
1:55 lady in shock was my absolute favorite part. Great video!
🤣🤣🤣 I'm so glad you noticed that! It makes me laugh every time also 🤣 Thank you so much!
Beautiful sights😂
Lived in Cape Town my entire life (41 years) ; aside from some time spent in the US doing some college: that being said.. this video is an absolute gem - your even-handed, conscious and impartial synopsis is certainly appreciated. Liked and Subscribed now dude!
Ah that means a lot, thank you so much!! It really is such a beautiful place, it's become a favorite. Glad you're here!! 🙏🏻
Great clip, very well put together. Thank you for Cape Town 🫶🏼
Thank you so much for the kind words and for watching! 🙏🏻

The level of awareness in your vid👍👍 I'm jealous you got to spend a month there, we will only have a few days as part of a wider SA trip. Can't wait to check out your other content ❤️
Ah that's so kind! I'm also jealous that you're doing a larger-scale SA trip! I've barely scratched the surface on the country as a whole, but I'll be going back for sure. Thank you so much, I hope you enjoy it! 😊🙏🏻

It was a great place to visit! 🙏🏻

Good stuff . subscribed! love the jokes
I'm so glad! 😂 Happy you're here! ❤️
Loved your video on amazing Cape Town. Tourism is one of the best ways to bring wealth to those who do not have it In South Africa. It is a sustainable resource and needs to be nurtured.
Ah thank you so much!! It most definitely is, especially in such a beautiful place. I loved it there!
This is such a good video about our mother city cape town but i hope you got to visit some of the museums because they are gems
Thank you!! I normally do visit quite a few museums, but admittedly I didn't in Cape Town! Maybe it's just because I was so amazed by the natural beauty I was more inclined to be outside? Gives me something great to do next time I'm in town! ❤
Visit the Capetown/bo kaap museum got some great history on cape town and dinosaurs and visit ysterplaat afb museum
Amazing video! Can't wait to visit SA some day!
Thank you so much! It's really just stunning, you're going to love it!!
Great video of my hometown. Thanks. Not the usual travel vlog. Will be checking out your other videos.
Thank you so much! You have an incredible hometown!! ❤️ 🇿🇦
Well done on an amazing video 🎉
Thank you so much!! 🙏🏻
The Ostrich part really had me laughing. Grew up on an Ostrich farm, Ahh my Buddy Frank! Proud and...Delicious to the end (at the end) 🤣
🤣 That's wild you grew up on an ostrich farm! That had to be such an interesting childhood. And yeah, unfortunately, it is pretty delicious 🤣
I’m a grade 10 Tourism student. For some reason I found this very helpful. Love from Cape Town lol.
Awe that makes me so happy!! It's a great place, and I'm glad this was helpful to you!
@@Get.Lost.Travel 🫶🏾🫶🏾
The poverty/wealth issue is all around the world; it is not limited to South Africa 🫤
Absolutely. The whole thesis of the video is that the difference here is how in-your-face it is and with how luxury and poverty in South Africa live across the street from each other, but in other countries (by design) people have kept it more separate so they can avoid facing it. You're saying exactly what I'm saying!
@@Get.Lost.Travel sorry I disagree- look at Brazil for example- that’s just one.
@societysista6187 Bru don't be that guy... the message of the video clearly flew right over your head
yes but the wealth gap in SA is the biggest globally 😢

Quality content. Have been a follower since I saw your video of my hometown, Wrocław.
Thanks so much! Wroclaw is another amazing city, both among my favorite places!
Everybody should go to ct once in their life.
Hard Agree!! It's stunning!
Lion's Head was the best mountain I've ever hiked on❤ South-African here🇿🇦 Great video!!
Edit: Braai is Afrikaans for Barbeque :)
Thank you so much!! Truly the hiking in the Cape would turn me into a hiker, I still think about how beautiful it was all the time! 😭🙏🏻
I studied 4 yrs Tuks 6 yrs Maties. 2yrs overseas. 2yrs CBD, 5yrs Dville, 3yrs Mbay, 5yrs Riebeek Valley. Now in Mokopane. Your decision 100 spot on.
Ah that means a lot, thank you for watching!!
Absolutely one of the greatest South African videos ! You're a great human. Wish there were more like you!
Ah that's so kind, thank you so much! Thank YOU for watching, you're the best!
seeing the places I go to yearly in a youtube video brings me joy
I'm so glad, you're lucky to get to visit so often, it's amazing!
Hey there thanks for sharing your video as a Capetonian myself.
Btw where did you go to feed ostriches here as I would like to take my British friend there for a visit.
I'm glad you enjoyed it! For sure! It was part of a full day tour that I really enjoyed, here is the affiliate link if you'd like to have your friend book it!
It would mean a lot t use that link if they do book, it helps the channel a lot! Also it was genuinely an incredible day. ❤️ ➡️ www.vi.me/gxw== ⬅️
Love how you give each of these videos a theme. I would love to go there! How was the language barrier?
I'm trying! Sort of working on how to figure out my own personal connection to each place, I appreciate it!! And actually, there isn't one! The language in South Africa is primarily English, and it's the official language used on all signage, etc. The locals often speak Afrikaans as well, but you might as well be in London as far as language is concerned.
@@Get.Lost.Travel interesting!
We are all bilingual. ❤
Did you know that table mountain has more species of plants than the whole of Europe, 1 of the flowers has over 150 different types and thats 1 FLOWER
That's so amazing! I loved learning about all the flowers that are unique to the Cape area, it's so beautiful. I can't wait to go back!
Love your work and appreciate this video. Please come again and get involved with a township tour next time. Cheers.
Thank you so much! I will do that for sure, I'm excited to go back!
As a South African living abroad, kudos for this video👏🏽🎉Authentic and honest! If you ever find yourself in South Africa again visit other provinces, there's soooo much more to South Africa than Cape Town i.e. Johannesburg, Durban, Port Elizabeth, Bloemfontein to name a few cities. Our country challenges aside, South Africa is an incredibly beautiful country in its entirety!🇿🇦
Thank you so much for watching and the kind words! Yes, I definitely hope to make another visit in the future and see more cities! I really loved it!
Great video, CT looks beautiful
It IS! I keep thinking about it ever since I left, it's just stunning. 😍
The 1st & 3rd world come face to face with each other in Cape Town against one of Gods most spectacular natural backdrops That can be quite unsettling for visitors to our city. (A very nice little dip into it video from this endearing little gourmet). Compliments for photography & editing.
It's definitely a super unique experience for sure. One I'll definitely never forget, and am for sure looking forward to my next visit. Thank you so much!! 🙏🏻
Great video, man! What month the year were you there? Looks like the weather was pleasant.
Thank you so much! I was there during April, and yeah the weather was ideal!
I live in th Free State, but I would like to recommend that you visit Mpumalanga. The beauty of Mpumalanga touches the human spirit like no other place in South Africa. Or at least it did that me.
I appreciate it! I'll mark it down for the next time I'm in SA! 🙏🏻
as a person who was born and grew up here i remember the waterfront and winerys and how much it changed but also how much for busy it is nowadays, i can hardly walk around without getting overwhelmed or bumping into people. i still remember begging as a kid to visit the the scratch patch for gemstones and trying to fit as many of them in the tiny bag. also your pronunciation is pretty good compared to others please
That has to be so interesting watching a place change over time like that!
glad you enjoyed our city!
I really did, one of my all time favorites!!
Dude I loved your video ❤. Made me smile and so did your dance moves 😊.
Ah I'm so glad! ❤️ It's rare I can find enough space without any judgmental onlookers to pull off a dance in a video 😂
Cape Town is heaven on earth
Honestly! Already trying to go back! 🙏🏻🇿🇦
You can also go on township tours, shop at local markets, and support South African artists by buying our books, music and art! Hope you visit again soon - there is always MORE to see and do here!
Yes I love it!! I hope to be back to do all of those things soon! 😊
I stay close to Cape Town and its honestly a great city with so many places to visit.
It truly is, I've been all over and the things to do and the value and the beauty are really at the top, it's just an amazing place
Nice and fair comments, well done and thank you for not glossing over the less popular things in CPT. Pity nothing about the Winelands.
Thank you so much, I'm glad you liked it!! 🙏🏻 I saved all the Food/Wine stuff for a second video, actually! Has a whole moment over here th-cam.com/video/HJPMb2Q7Seo/w-d-xo.html
The flowers and plants are truly unique here. The Cape Floristic Kingdom/Fynbos is made up of 9000+ plant species, many of which only can be found here and nowhere else in the world. Look after local plants, they are special. Much love from the Cape Flats Sand Fynbos Region 🌍
I didn't realize that before my visit, but it's amazing!
This is why i love my city. I hope you managed to at least go to the spice route or route44 if you telling me that you stayed close to the city for that entire time then you still have allot of exploring todo 😅.
There are so much more places to see.
Did you manage to eat a gatsby?
It's one of my favorite places I've been! Definitely more places to see. I did eat a Gatsby actually! So good!
Another wonderful video!!! Loved it!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you so much! ❤️🙏🏻
As a tourist the same applies to every traveller: Respect the people and spend money, South Africa's Tourism potential is almost unmatched in the world. Inequality is all over and it's not tourists' responsibility to solve it. SA people need to solve SA problems. So go visit, have a blast, be aware of your surroundings, be safe and spend money like there's no tomorrow!
Great vlog welcome to the best country in the world
Thank you so much! It really is so beautiful, I miss it! 🙏🏻
As an South African who lives in Cape Town, Our City is one of the best, But, There are a tonn of homeless and dangerous areas Near the city, As someone who lives in a pretty safe neighborhood i can say we still get crimes, and lets not talk about the Cape Flats and Mitchells Plain....
But Cape Town is still really beautiful and i would recommend our Western Cape province to anyone who is wanting to go on holiday over seas :>
Well said! Totally agree, it's one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen, and well worth the trip!!
Great Video!! Please come back again...
Thank you so much! I will definitely try to visit again, I really loved it!
I want to go back there some day. I spent half my life there. You can live your whole life there and not know how bad it really is in certain places until you live in those areas
It's a super interesting dynamic for sure! I hope you get the chance to go back, I'm sure so much has changed!
Glad you enjoyed our city
I did! It's become one of my favorites in the world, I love it!!
GREAT VIDEO!!! As a South African, I always say (hypothetically) IF I was forced to live in South Africa long term, the ONLY place I will live in is Cape Town✅ Otherwise I won't live in SA due to the major safety concerns everywhere and other personal preferences😊 (hence why I am moving abroad permanently SOON) ... But when I come back to visit my beautiful country, I would always want to go to Cape Town🏙
FYI: The Western Cape province is divided into 2 parts. CAPE TOWN and THE GARDEN ROUTE. I lived most my life in the Garden Route side of the Western Cape province. It is INSANELY beautiful. Arguably even more hidden gems and nature scenes than Cape Town. But Cape Town is special because it is more developed than any other cities in SA. (and definitely safer than Johannesburg City)
Thank you so much!! Truly, Cape Town is just insanely beautiful I'm so glad I got the chance to visit. I would also love to explore more, definitely deep into the Garden route, etc! ❤️🇿🇦
What you saying doesn’t make sense. Cape Town is the most dangerous city in South Africa. It records the highest crimes rates in the country when you look at the top 10 most dangerous places in the country. So clearly safety is not an issue for you. It’s also not more developed than Joburg. Not by a long shot. Saying it is shows you haven’t been anywhere else in the country. Cape Town is however much less integrated than any other city, but that can’t be the reason why you like it is it…………….This delusional thinking of non native settlers from Cape Town is what is bad for this country.
Great vid, you're Most welcome to visit EVERY TIME!
Thank you so much!! I am very excited to come back one day!!
Thank you! For the information
I'm glad you found it helpful! 🤩 Thanks for watching!
You should come to Pietermaritzburg next it’s in 🇿🇦 South Africa
I'm definitely due for a deep dive into South Africa! I'll try to check it out next time I'm around!
Great video keep up the good work 😊 love from Cape Town
Thank you so much! I miss it and can't wait to go back! ❤️
Its so weird😅.
Iive 15 minutes away from Cape Town, I agree it's a total tourist playground. I actively avoide it, it can be overwhelming sometimes and very very pricey, so i just stick to the suburbs.
The way I view it, is that its a place for the tourists to have fun and have a relatively safe space to enjoy their visit or holiday or whatever.
It's super unique for sure, the dynamic is different from anywhere else! But the good stuff is SO GOOD. 😭❤️🇿🇦
I totally agree. People should enjoy the Cape. I am 24 km from the waterfront and can get there in less than 30min. A day where I am not startled by gun fire is rare. Behind all the beauty lies the true effects of capitalism and it is really wretched.
Growing up and living in South Africa shows you a crazy diversity. I grew up in a middle class family, But as an adult I'm classed an "lower class" or living on the bread line. Minimum wage is not enough to live on, even when sharing a home. I used to live in a one bedroom house with my partner and another couple and their kid. One bedroom, one bathroom, and a kitchen big enough to fit a fridge, a stove, and a basin. We slept on a single bed in the "living room". My partner has gotten a good job that pays him a bit better now, so we can afford a bachelor flat, but I haven't had money to spend on myself since I lived with my parents. The wealth disparity is massive, but people are working to change that.
Thank you for sharing your story!
Great video, and its awesome to see the bit of history you added. While I'm extremely greatful for this, being here for a whole month, it would've been nice to see a bit of the struggling coloured communities who have also suffered from the segregation. The coloured communities are a mixed race peopled (reaces such as Khoisan, white, black, Cape Malay), some coming from bloodlines of the Khoikhoi and San people who later joined and became the Khoisan people.
However, I do understand this it not a history specific channel, and the video is mainly concentrating on boosting the tourist attractions, whilst not forgetting there are still places of struggle wherever one goes.
The perfect places to be .Go for a trip you will realty enjoy your trip or join a tour group❤❤❤❤
I agree, it was so beautiful! Really great trip
Blame poverty on our government and uncontrolled illegal immigration !
Yeah we blame it on the apartheid government and on all the capitalist Hedgemon that made sure to keep control of the economy after apartheid ended. If your bitter about this country because of equality then you might as well head home to Europe. We dont need negative people like you here whilst we are building on the future. Your problem is that you hate equality and the fact that black people control this country. GO HOME.
Well Done to this guy for pointing out the truth however bad it looks, its the truth!!!!!!
if you are white, then definitely you are not South African. You came illegally through colonisation
Just cause you said you tube knows my tastes very well 😂i subscribed.

I had such a great time there! Thank YOU for watching and subscribing!!
Cool video! As a fan of cable cars, I'd love to get into one of them (anywhere in the world, doesn't really matter to me tbh) just for the views. haha
I LOVE the incredible views while you're inside and also at the destination (just like in this case with the top of Table Mountain view).
Keep up the great work as always! 🫡
Thank you so much!! Yeah the trip up to Table Mountain and back down is honestly half the fun! I did a similar one in Bogota Colombia that was smaller but also super scenic. You're going to love it!
I’m in Cape Town right now
I hope you're enjoying it! It's so lovely!
This video should be shown in geography classes :)
😂 Maybe one day!
You were so close to the winelands and did not visit!? :O If you come again, you really need to spend time in the Winelands and Garden Route... It's a continuation of what you've experienced in Cape Town and in a lot of cases even better! Depending on the time of year you might even experience snow and it's no more than like 90 minutes drive from Cape Town itself.
I know! I don't really drive so renting a car wasn't an option, so I felt a bit limited beyond where I could go by bus, etc. Very glad I did make it to at least one winery! Even if it is the most touristy one 😂 Next time if I go with friends I will for sure!
Enjoyed your exuberance and your video ❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you so much!! 🙏🏻
I know quite a few Capetownians who have never left the western cape.. and if they do its to go overseas. Lots of other cool places in South Africa but maybe not as tourist friendly.. Kruger park is definitely worth a visit for Americans
There is so much more of SA that I want to see! I'll definitely check out much more beyond the Cape on my next visit, excited to see more of the country! 🙏🏻
