what to pack for Cape Town
“Africa is mystic; it is wild; it is a sweltering inferno; it is a photographer’s paradise, a hunter’s Valhalla, an escapist’s Utopia. It is what you will, and it withstands all interpretations. It is the last vestige of a dead world or the cradle of a shiny new one. To a lot of people, as to myself, it is just home.”
- Beryl Markham
Additionally, you will find all the info you need to plan a 2-5 day trip to Cape Winelands, Hermanus (to see whales!) or the Garden Route if you plan to spend more time in the region. Written by a photographer, the guide contains ‘photo kits’ to pack, lists of most ‘instagrammable’ places and recommendations on where and how to take the best pictures even if you are an amateur.
As much as South Africa is associated with safari, Capetown made this country truly famous as a tourist destination worldwide. Trendy vibrant restaurants, turquoise beaches, abundant nature, no wonder locals call it the Mother City. It offers everything a modern traveller is seeking for - stunning mountains and ocean views, rich night scene, world-class wine estates and jaw-dropping design hotels, colourful and international community of people who are friendly and welcoming at all times. It is hard not to fall in love with it from the first sight and yet you have to know the places to get the right impression and to extract the best out of your time in Cape Town. I’d even say - you gotta act like a local so the city accepts you and shows off its gems.
That’s why Anastasia Frost and I have gathered our rich experiences and structured them for you in a way that you can plan your own perfect trip. For those of you who love staying in beautiful hotels, eat gorgeous food, explore photographic places and take the most memorable photos, this guide offers more than 60 pages of meticulously selected accommodation options, photogenic and conceptual restaurants, secret hideaways, local shopping locations and plenty of activities to choose from when in Cape Town.
