Getting TO/AROUND: In common with most major cities in the world there is a hop-on hop-off city sightseeing tour bus here. the service operates two routes - red route and blue route, both of which have 13 stops
you can buy a combined ticket for both routes but as this is only valid for one day you would not have much time to get off and see any of the sights
one of the best things about the Red Route is that it takes you up to the cableway on Table Mountain, which is a long trek up if you dont have a car, if the cableway is operating and you havent been up the mountain get off and go up, it might not be open again while you are in Cape Town ! the red route is city based taking you to museums, the Castle and the V&A Waterfront, the blue route takes you further afield, including Hout Bay, Kirstenbosch Botaniv Garden and the Imizamo Yetho Township where a walking Township tour is available
your ticket gives you discounts on many of the places you stop at, a full days ticket costs R90 for either route, if you do chooce a combined ticket it costs R160
the tour begins and ends at the Ferrymans Pub on the V&A Waterfront

Getting TO/AROUND: Kulula must be the worlds funniest airline, what other airline tells you durung the safety briefing that if you are caught smoking in the toilet during the flight you will be made to sit on the naughty seat on the wing ? announcements were fun not boring and made us laugh
I suppose if you fly regularly with Kulula the jokes become a tad stale, but we just flew with then twice, to Port Elizabeth and back to Cape Town, Kulula is a no-frills budget airline but the seats are comfortable and we had enough legroom

Getting TO/AROUND: I had never heard of Nationwide before researching our trip, but I read good reviews about it and was amazed by the great prices to travel business class from Gatwick
the plane was rather dated, but was very comfortable, the food was the best I have ever eaten on a plane, the service excellent and the timing of our 10 1/2 hour flight meant that we could sleep all night and arrive at Johannasberg Airport refreshed where we transferred to a local flight to Cape Town
our return journey was just as good, this was the best flight we have ever had
Nationwide flies from Gatwick North Terminal in the UK, and operates domestic and international flights in Africa, I can definately recommend Nationwide if flying to South Africa
