Many people were shaking their heads at us back then saying we were mad to consider venturing there but to say I am glad they did not convince me to go is an understatement. The western Cape in general is outstanding with the best thing for me being the diversity of things to do which was endless

Thank you for the nice comment and questions, Mario! So in Cape Town (and it sounded like all of the Western Cape Province), we didn't experience any loadshedding. Also, most of the hotels in Cape Town have generators so you shouldn't experience any issues when traveling there. Their energy issues aren't quite as bad as somewhere like Johannesburg. In Joburg, we would usually be without power in our AirBnB for 4 hours or so each night. As far as walking at night, we mainly did so in the Camps Bay area where we didn't have any problems at all. The De Waterkant area was also fine at night too. I think most issues happen in the City Centre from what I've read.

Hi Jay, we only used a guide on that tour. Otherwise we roamed around the city on our own. We read a lot (as I'm sure you have) about how unsafe Cape Town is, and in some parts, like any big city, I'm sure it is quite unsafe. But that wasn't our experience. We stayed at The Tree House Boutique Hotel near Green Point and spent most of our time between the city center and Camps Bay. That being said, we didn't walk around too much at night which seemed to be a concern for some people. If you stay centrally and use the usual travel common sense, you should be just fine from what we saw 👍

In our experience, it certainly is. Follow the normal safety precautions when traveling to any place to prevent things like pickpocketing and avoiding scams, but we didn't experience any issues. There are some areas that are more tourist-friendly and secure than others such as Camps Bay, so I'd definitely aim to stay there or near De Waterkant which is where we stayed. But other than that, we generally went wherever we needed to during the day time and were just more cautious about that at night. It's one of the most beautiful cities in the world and a must-see!

@atravelingperspective Жыл бұрын
Hi Christopher, in my experience, there's always a way to travel to any place in a smart way, regardless of the issues that some cities face. On the crime, we didn't experience any issues whatsoever over two weeks and across multiple cities. That being said, we didn't do much at night, and we took tours with a local guide to places like Soweto which was highly recommended by many. On the power outages, we didn't experience any of that in Cape Town and it varies across this big country. In Johannesburg, we had 4-8 hours a day with no power, but it's fairly easy to plan around that, though obviously not ideal for a tourist. It makes it a lot easier to handle when you understand how much more disruptive it is for locals who live this every day. Just my two cents. Thanks for watching!

This guy's criticism is incorrect about Nelson Mandela. My friends children were pulled out while travelling to school by security police, books confiscated searching if they had any notes on them which was connected to the struggle. Houses were searched and you were not allowed visitors if too many came then it was called a meeting against the government. It was terrible times my son couldn't attend school because we were afraid for his safety as he had to travel by cycle. Many faced the same. We never trusted anyone whose husband was a police man. Sports was separated for people of colour,so was restaurants and cinemas,not to mention public transport. There are those who didn't want to mix and actually hated people of colour. Some still think white people are inferior. If you were working in the Government and the wrong colour pension and medical aid was not allowed. We have freedom now,can travel so thanks for what Nelson Mandela endured we are more free now and see more of our own country,not having to worry about who we are. All countries have crime and corruption only we are more transparent. We able to live where we want if we can afford it. We understand and respect each and everyone irrespective of race,colour and religions.😊

Serious question : How do you afford these travels ?
@atravelingperspective Жыл бұрын
Great question. For starters, this particular trip was our Honeymoon, so it was a big one. But in general, we plan when and where we'll take our trips up to 6 months out so we can plan around them. We utilize credit card points that we've accumulated through spending and welcome bonus points available by opening a card. This usually allows us to at the very least get free flights or free hotels for the duration of our trips. I use Google Flights (in incognito mode) to keep an eye on prices for the dates we're looking at as well. Between this and using sites like Trip Advisor to get great rates on hotels that are highly rated by other travelers, you can really cut down on costs. It's also important to remember that it's a lot cheaper upon arrival when you travel to places like Africa or Southeast Asia. The flights to get there are often steep, but accommodation and daily expenses like transportation and meals will be 1/4 to 1/2 of what you would pay in the United States or Europe. Happy to answer any more specific questions you might have too.

Of the best army in the world producing of the best tech and law and order, no apartheid ( as taught to the world by communist) was not good, they don't tell you about the AWB fighting FOR blacks and saving them from being killed by their own, they don't teach you that the rand was $2 to R1 now R18 to$1. ESKOM winning NEW YORK TIMES best and cheapest electricity in the world supplito other African countries, and I can go on for days with FACTS so please don't tell the world stupid shit like that.

You didn't understand the history of the Cape, and consequently completely missed the essence of the city, but thank you for the attempt anyway
