Africa will always be the Africa of the Victorian atlas, the blank unexplored continent, the shape of the human heart.

Car / Taxi: Minibus Taxis

  • 'Mode': AROUND
    Category: Other
    Getting TO/AROUND: Be very careful and avoid using this mode of transport as many of these vehicles are not roadworthy and drivers are often unlicenced.
    When using taxis rather opt for the sedan type that display their tariffs on the doors.

    Buses: Go Topless
  • Tip Rating:
  • 'Mode': AROUND
    Category: Bus
    Getting TO/AROUND: The best way to orientate yourself in Cape Town is to take the Topless double decker bus that operates on a hop on hop off basis around Cape Town.
    They stop at many of the main tourist spots so you can get off and explore at your own pace.

    Air Travel: Back to Vietnam
  • Tip Rating:
  • 'Mode': AROUND
    Category: Airplane
    Getting TO/AROUND: While in Cape Town why not take a sightseeing flip in a Vietnam War vintage Bell Huey helicopter?Potential passengers have to join the Huey Club at a cost of R750. They may then at any stage during the year ahead, fly in the Huey on a simulated combat mission.

    The first Huey Club flight took place on December 22, 2002 .
    Flying takes place from the Waterfront Heliport. Initially, flights took place at low level up the coast but due to the noise factor, the built-up areas are transited at 1000 feet to the GF area then the sortie is flown at low level. Most flights are undertaken with 14 passengers and two crew and to feel the part, passengers can wear replica flak jackets and goggles

    Buses: Moving between Cities
  • Tip Rating:
  • 'Mode': TO
    Category: Bus
    Getting TO/AROUND: A popular means of travelling from city to city is the Baz Bus.
    It operates on a hop on hop off basis whereby you purchase a ticket for a particular route and can get off anywhere along that route - do what you want to do and catch another Baz Bus to continue your journey. There is apparently no time limit on your ticket as well.
