  • Luggage And Bags: Take Suntan Lotion - I can stress enough if you have a fair skin , take SUNTAN Lotion. The African sun is a killer.
    Capetown will have everything else you might need or run out of. They are VERY westernized...

    Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Always take a wind breaker. The Weather can change VERY quickly and when that wind picks up from off the Atlanic ocean , you can almost freeze to death. I had a habbit of taking a small cary bag with a wind dreaker in , no matter hot hot it was going to be.

    Toiletries & Medical Supplies: They cater for almost everything in Capetown.

    Photo Equipment: Loads of places to get equipment from , might be even cheaper to get yoru photos developed in SA. Justconvert thru from yoru Curency.

    Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: Take warm cloths .... Capetown can get windy and cold. If Camping , Make sure everything is secure. The Wind can be gale fource.

    Miscellaneous: Above all. TAKE a SMILE :-) , No one loves a Unhappy person. Listen to people talk in the streets , even the english has a certain strange quality and ring to it. Capetownians have the most awsome expressions.

     I'm so glad to see there is someone that agree about Hermanus. to Hermanus we took the coastal road and I agree I think it is the most beautiful coastal road there is. Back we came over the pass and some areas areas are just as breathtaking

     Great to see that you're in the top 5 for our country and that it's not just the comments of "the tourists"...good tips. I still need to visit Cape Town and see what the fuss is about :)
