Luggage And Bags: A daypack is useful for trips to the beach or walks. Be aware that if you go to any supermarkets you will be charged for a plastic bag so best to carry your own
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: A sun hat & sunglasses are a must in summer. Good walking shoes are advisable as is a pair of sandals or thongs (slops). In summer it can be windy depending which time you visit so a windbreaker & a light jersey to layer clothes. The closer you get to the mountain the colder the nights will be.
Toiletries & Medical Supplies: Moisquito repellent, suncream, headache pills etc can be bought at any pharmacy. Some B&B's provide toiletries but its best to check first.
Photo Equipment: SA plugs are std 3 pin round although many places will have adapters for 2 plug round (ie shavers, electric toothbrush) UK can take over Europe adapter & plug into SA adapter & Europe plugs will fit SA 2 plug adapter. Bring your charger, there are places to develop digital prints instantly.
Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: Hotels will mostly not supply beach towels although you could buy them for your trip in Cape Town cheaply & leave them behind afterwards.
Miscellaneous: Do not take your expensive jewellery with you on holiday it could attract the wrong attention. You can purchase great jewellery in SA at the craft markets beaded jewellery is very fashionable & reasonable
