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
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. ❤
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.
This is one of the best videos of Cape Town I have seen. Thank you for the accurate info. From Cape Town myself, currently living in South Korea. Missing Cape Town every day😢
Thank you so much!🥹. Sending love to South Korea!🥰
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
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!

to do video coming out this Sunday. Keep an eye out 😃 We hope you have the best time in Cape Town 🤙🏼
Thank you for the fun video full of great info!
You’re welcome!😁🙏🏻
Thank you so much for this video ❤ you are much appreciated
Glad it was helpful!
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.
Amazing video I hope one day be able to do it!
Thank you so much for all the information.
Glad it was helpful!
I was just in Kenya and cape Town is next on my list
Excellent video.
Soo refreshing to hear, good information. The weather resembles Melbourne.
Something very adorable about SA girls, natural and non pretentious.
Going to Cape Town in October, thanks for the video
Have fun!
Very informative & well-arranged video 👌🏻. Love it 🤍 .. thank you so much .. Naif from Saudia 💐
Glad you liked it!

Baie dankie :) Hay guys just found you and love your informative info drop. I'm about to go with my son for a month to Cape Town for a father and son adventure. I am looking forward to safari and more friends and family hookups. Thanks again, keep super styling
Thank you so much for this detailed video. I'll be there in Cape Town for around 20 days in February to cover the cricket Women's T20 World Cup. Hope to catch you guys around!
Amazing! Enjoy every moment😁😁
Hey you guys are amazing. I love Cape Town ❤❤❤
Thank you for watching❤️🙏🏼
Such a beautiful city. I wish to travel there soon :)
Im so excited to go dec 2023!!🎉
Hi Rhett and Claire,..maybe i behind of time. but thanks for the tour guide. It real helps us a lot, as i am planning to visit that place on December this year.
Our pleasure! Thank you for watching
By watching your video full of information about Cape Town city I have fallen in love with this beautiful city. Hope I will be there soon.
You're most welcome
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
Amazing much love from Kempton park 😃
Very informative.. ❤❤
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😱🙌🏻
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)
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
Thanks for compliment that's where I leave at the moment
Thanks Rhett n Claire
being a tourist or living in Cape Town / South Africa is suuuucchh a difference.............
Agreed and it's the same for hundreds of cities around the world, New York for example.
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.
if you guys consider making a video in the orania town it will be a great video and hopefully it will get a lot of views too, cheers !!
Watching from Jamaica 🇯🇲
Hi Claire & Rhett, Thanks for your very informative post. Ill be sure to check out your others as well. I'm looking forward to visiting my erstwhile (>35years) home city later this year.
Amazing! We’re excited for you😁😁
I know that I am a year late, but thank you for this informative and comprehensive video!!
You're very welcome!
Hopefully going beginning of October for first time looks incredible
I am also! I hope we get good weather!
Cool video
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 🙂
I’m travelling to Cape Town in a few months, and wanted to know how to safely watch the sunset (and the best place to do this)!
There are literally hundreds of places. Any beach, any popular hiking spot, Signal hill (probably the best for you), Lions head, Sunset rock etc etc. Soooo many🙌🏻
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
Cape Town is awesome!!!
Wah ..mantab sekali kalian keliling dunia jadi lebih tahu tentang budaya luar negeri dan kami bisa tahu masing² budaya di seluruh dunia
I heard Gin Tasting and I perked up!!! More information on where I may find these please!
Cool!
Thank you. I’ll travel to Cape Town next month and this is the best video I’ve found. Every major city in the world should have a video like this one.
Thaaaaaank you
That’s the goal😃 Thank you for watching. We’re glad you found it helpful🙏🏼
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😁😁
We just bought plane tickets for 2 weeks next February!!!
Amazing 🤩
I love South Africa
Love from Himachal Pradesh 🇮🇳
April is the best.
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!
Hey guys love your video found it very useful. I’m hopeful you may help me with another question I have . I really wanted to do a trip from Cape Town to Victoria falls . What is your opinion on safety with the roads and crime . I appreciate any help you can offer . Also honest opinion if you only had two weeks what would be your MUST DO while in South Africa .
