Here are a few important points to know before you hit the road of Cape Town in your camper hire for an unforgettable South Africa adventure.
You’ll want a few days to enjoy the delights of Cape Town before setting off on your self-drive holiday. Make sure you hit the following highlights:
A coastal route that stretches a line of ritzy drinking holes with beautiful patrons. Surfers at the northern end wait for waves, while at the southern end, you can dip your toes in the tidal pool.
The city’s defining feature, Table Mountain offers a variety of entertainment. Head up the cable car and then abseil 112 metres back down. There are also multitudes of exhausting trails that will get you to the summit. You’ll get a bird’s eye view of the City Bowl from this height.
From cage diving on the open seas to viewing safely inside an aquarium, there are multiple ways to interact with the region’s incredible 40 species of shark. What activity do you dare?
Cape Town offers a wide variety of culinary delights, with vineyards right on the doorstep of the city. Book yourself in to one of the fabulous restaurant venues for a decadent meal, or two.
Famously known for its maximum security prison, Robben Island is where the former leader of the free and democratic Southern Africa, Nelson Mandela, spent 18 years. District Six lays bare some of the crueller moments of the ‘whites only’ area, exhibiting how more than 60,000 of its residents were forcibly taken from their homes and shipped out to the Cape Flats.
There are a host of special destinations within reasonable reach of Cape Town. Hop in your camper hire and at your own pace point your wheels in the direction of these great places:
An hour of scenic driving from Cape Town will see you arrive at a totally different world to the city. Explore rolling vineyards, towering mountains and historic wine estates.
Experience the wild natural beauty of the southernmost point of Africa. (This title was mistakenly held by the Cape of Good Hope for quite some time—also worth checking out).
Head in the direction of Cape Point and keep a lookout for the tiny gravelled parking area by the side of the road between Simon’s Town and Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve. Once there, it’s a 15-minute amble down the overgrown footpath until you reach this unspoilt, isolated beach.
Head 1.5 hours north up the coast to this incredible saltwater lagoon. Sample the local oysters and soak in the sun. In certain months, you can even spot whales swimming past.
It’s a decent drive away (about 8 hours), but it offers exciting game drives and plenty of wildlife, in addition to the beautiful elephants.
