Thank you for visiting South Africa. Thank you from a citizen of Cape Town. Please keep our country in prayer as we really need our economy to thrive and crime rate decreased. Shalom to you and your family.
There’s more stuff to do in Cape Town that doesn’t involve spending money - although in Joburg more people have bigger spaces to Braai so you can do that instead of going out.
The cost of buying property in Cape Town 🥵. In Joburg you can have a mansion and in Cape Town you will get a 1 bedroom flat or live so far away from everything.
@@rjj479 and then worry about break ins for that mansion in many cases. Living in a flat with security in many parts of Cape Town is like living in a first world country.
@r.mariano8118 that is true and does drive up the property price. Foreigners are also buying a lot of CPT property which in their eyes is not that expensive. It is overinflated but one wonders if it will normalise. The worst thing is that in my field, salaries in CPT are a fraction of JHB so it makes more sense to stay in JHB and fly down to CPT for a few weekends a year
The best way to describe the difference between the two. Johannesburg is for business, nightlife and food. Cape Town is for sunsets and sunrise, coffee and love life! I hope you guys visit again soon! :)
I am just glad that you are having a great, safe time in South Africa. There is beauty everywhere also history and culture. Just do your homework carefully in terms of when the best time is to visit. Love you guys.
Loved watching your view of your experiences in Johannesburg and Capetown. I was born and raised in Capetown. I've been to Johannesburg lots of times, but I, too, choose Capetown over Johannesburg any day of the week! If you do get to come to South Africa during summer, you will find lots of Johannesburg people in Capetown. They love vacationing in Capetown during the summer months.
NO NO, most Joburgers go to Durban for holidays, especially in Winter. I am a Durbanite, and the Freedom chasers should come to Durban where there is no winter. We don't own coats or long boots!
Yes, Cape Town is South Africa's most beautiful city, but most Joburgers go to Durban because it's much closer, far cheaper and has the warm Indian Ocean compared to the cold Atlantic Ocean. I would agree if he/she said most white people, because that's where most of the money is.
Great video. I have always travelled to Johannesburg and i fell in love with SA so much that I'm working on retiring to there from UK. I have enjoyed Durban and Cape Town but only enough to visit than live there. I am not a huge nature person and living in London, i find living in Johannesburg ok for me. I love, love, love the food. I cant wait to take longer periods of time living there and eventually migrating to Johannesburg.
I've lived in Joburg all my life and go on holiday in the Western Cape (George, Knysna, Wilderness, Mossel Bay, Hartenbos, Capetown) at least twice a year. I absolutely love going to the western cape for holiday because it's just so stunningly beautiful. However, despite visiting there often, I can't find myself wanting to live there. I want to leave it purely as a vacation place. Joburg has really wonderful gems. Most people from the Western cape think Joburg is just a massive city with no nature. But there's so many parks, beautiful tree filled suburbs, and some genuinely lovely places to go hiking. But most don't know about them. I love Joburg and won't be able to move to the western cape. Maybe when I retire for the slow life. But now? No.
Ya so true,I lived all my life in DBN and had to move 2 yrs ago to be close to kids,For us pensioners it's not good,we are missing DBN.We loved to stay in Dbn but visit Cape Town and Johannesburg's.Cape Town is the best for holidays.
thank you for giving an indepth review of our cities. I concur with most of what you said, I currently stay in Cape Town and feel like I take it for granted sometimes , I don’t do as much as I could to explore this beautiful place. I suppose it’s different when it’s a place of vacation and a place of work. I will definitely do better!! Thank you again
I wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for the incredible journey you've taken me-- actually, all of your subscribers--on through your captivating RUclips channel. As a travel enthusiast, I've always sought out entertaining and inspiring content, but stumbling upon your videos was a game-changer. You have not only entertained me but have also opened my eyes to the wonders of Africa as a travel destination. Your beautiful family and your genuine approach make every episode a true pleasure to watch. May your travels be filled with exciting adventures and wonderful memories!
It almost sounds like to me that Cape Town is a better vacationing tourists spot given it’s open Mountain View while Johannesburg sounds more like a place you would call home given that when it is showcased, it’s more about business opportunities and the luxury but affordable homes and beautiful neighborhoods they have to offer. I will get a chance to find out for myself when I visit Johannesburg in late November. This will also be my first time on the continent of Africa and I look forward to it. Visiting Cape Town and Durban is also on my list after my trip In Johannesburg.
Spot on Andre! I've lived in Joburg all my life and can tell u that its the perfect city for younger people cos it presents so many opportunities. Cape town scenery is pristine & I've enjoyed some down time there when on holiday. Its probably also a good place to retire (more so for the upper class & the rich)
That’s exactly it. There are some industries that are well suited to Cape Town, like fashion, the film industry, etc. Think of Cape Town as our version of LA. But Johannesburg is where basically a quarter of the population lives because it’s the centre of commerce for the entire country (something like 14 million people in the greater Jhb metropolitan area). Salaries reflect that too - it’s not uncommon for people in the exact same job to get higher salaries in Johannesburg than Cape Town - I had a friend that referred to is as “mOuNtaIn tAx” 😁 I’m a Sandtonite myself and honestly, I can’t imagine living anywhere else.
Cape Town is one of the most visually stunning cities in the world...not just Africa. From almost anywhere, you have an incredible view. I totally agree about the weather. The weather is unpredictable and it is VERY windy. I got sick because I forgot my jacket and I was chilled to my bones, lol. I did not get a chance to go up Table Mountain because they shut it down due to the windy condition. Hopefully, I will have an opportunity to visit Johannesburg in the future.
Very True, best to wait when all the Tourist from Johannesburg has left, best to experience Cape Town and Beaches and Tourist areas without the crowds. Its also our hottest month, best time to enjoy our cold ocean and beauuuutifullll Beaches ....
Hi guys, love the video. I'm a proud CT-boytjie. These are many more attractions (Cultural & Natural) that you did not mention ... Next time/summer visit. As a Tourism teacher, I fully appreciate your support of our economy. Don't hesitate to criticize ... it can only lead to positive changes 😎
Always heartwarming to see our brothers and sisters from the diaspora return home - especially family oriented ones like you. I absolutely love your content and happy to see you have enjoyed your stay. Keep up the good work. YAH Bless. Salani (Shallom)
As a South African living in Cape Town, your views are refreshing! Definitely come back in the summer time - January to March for hot summer beach days, LOTS AND LOTS to see and do and lots and lots of nightlife vibes and entertainment. You need to visit the Cape Winelands. That is a MUST, the exquisite beauty out in the winelands, decadent food and wine and tons of summer outdoor markets.
Cape Town for it's beauty will always take it but what I do suggest is take a good tour through the Garden Route to Titsikhama spend a few nights and do Durban through to JHB. as you go further up you'll find more beautiful places 👌
Next time y'all come to Cape Town try Cape Malay food like rotti , curry , gatsby ect . Promise you won't regret it . Also get some fresh fish and chips in Hout Bay .
Thank you for your unbiased comments about both Cape Town and Johannesburg. I have lived in Cape Town for 17 years, having been born and bred in Joburg. I love CT and hope to live the rest of my days here. I do however need to be honest and warn you that summer in CT is very hit and miss 🙈. When that south easter blows it is mean! CT weather is always unpredictable regardless of the season. That said, the extra daylight hours in summer is amazing! You can easily be on the beach until 21h00 at night and the sun rises really early. My personal recommendation is that the best few months to be in CT (weather wise) is between February and May. I love your videos and will keep watching! Shalom to you ❤
Hi guys, you still need to visit Durban and make sure that you try the bunny chow there, make sure that you also go to the Valley of 1 Thousand Hills and Ushaka Marine.
You should visit Durban. Weatherwise Durban cannot be beaten anywhere in SA. Bunny Chow is a Durban dish. Cannot compare. Did you visit the bush in Jhb? Nature in the 2 cities is totally different. You should visit the Drakensberg in KZN. Oh, you still have so much to explore. So, don't make up your mind just yet😊❤
As a Cape Townian I’m so glad you enjoyed it here! I love living here, there’s always something fun or relaxing to do. Jozi people get a little salty when people say they prefer Cape Town, but I’ve enjoyed both🤣🇿🇦❤️
Durban = bunny chow, Joburg = kota, Cape Town = gatsby. You've got to try a masala steak gatsby. To me a kota looks like a bunny chow with gatsby fillings.
I think you'd like Durban and Southern KZN for weather. A lot more humid there. But warm winters and mild summers. Definitely the most temperate climate in SA. Specially with the three big cities. And dont mind a bit more rain.
Also, my husband and I would love to have you over for a meal if you visit Capetown again! We don't live in a fancy schmancy neighborhood, but we will make sure that you have an enjoyable time at our humble home.
I had the opportunity to live in both cities & I must say that Joburg is crazy fast pace & life is expensive while Cape Town is slow & best place to raise a family ,I enjoy driving in Cape Town as there is not much traffic then in Joburg
Being a Capetonian all my life, living working raising a family in this beautiful province, I don't see that we are "slower" , maybe more layback 😁.. lots wine and beautiful beaches... I have heard other Americans compare CPT to Los Angeles / California ... Clifton and Seapoint really gives off the same vibe. Bloubergstrand which is my hometown is a bit more like Miami 😊😊 but with a Truly SOUTH AFRICAN VIBE 😊
@FREEDOMCHASERSLIFE ... in September/ October you need to visit Namakwaland and Langebaanin the Western Cape for its BEAUTTTIFULLLL Spring Flowers (it's world renowned I might add 🌼 🌸 🌻 😁)
Between the two cities, Cape Town is more family friendly, cleaner and has overall more to do because it caters to the vast diversity it attracts, hence the food has more variety as well. Jozi is more metropolitan and has an overall better nightlife and cultural experience. The Kota is overrated, Cape Town has the famous Gatsby and Durban has the Bunny Chow, Jozi literally combined the two and still isn't anywhere near as good as the other latter.
Interesting review, however these aren't solidifiied indicators, A few weeks in each city gives Cape Town an unbalanced edge over Johannesburg, simply because thats what touristic areas are designed for, in which Cape Town leans in towards a more European concentric feel, which is well organised, clean, neat and definitely beautiful, with the city being an attraction for several rich individuals globally to stay in, however, whisking the cream on the cake may be enjoyable till you get to the actual cake, Cape Town over time becomes repulsive to certain demographics of people, lush and beauty becomes hindered behind limited entrepreneurial opportunities, high cost of living, and an insane divide in wealth which caters to a specific 'demographic group' of people which become unfavorable to people who live below middle income, which explains the the horrific crimes with statistics that match literal warzones. Johannesburg on the other hand has alot of American elemental features, due to its insane uncontrolled growth which has led to more opportunities and a more diverse population which over time becomes more favourable to people who tend to want to increase their wealth, wealth is more balanced around the city amongst different demographics which explains why Johannesburg millionaires are almost ×3 of Cape Towns, in which several improvished areas turn into well sustained communities due to growing wealth amongst people here and people staying more long term therefore the lower income areas are relatively safer compared to Cape Towns, however, due to the city's uncontrolled growth, it has led to several repulsive features as urban decay and lack of maintenance due to businesses expanding more outwards, due to this expansion as well as a more 'balanced' wealth distribution around the city, crime is more widespread across the city which isn't favourable towards a certain class of people. Cape Town vs Johannesburg will be a forever debate as it depends on the individual, however, for me personally I prefer to visit Cape Town and stay in Johannesburg❤
You can also go see mountains and go up with cable car in Hartebeespoort Dam area. it's about 30-40min drive from Fourways. Lots of nice places to eat and explore there too, like Camelion Village, UpperDeck, Jasmine, Prettville (with a little Eiffel tower) etc.
This Winter has been more like the winters of my youth ( I know, now I sound 80 😂) I prefer winter , because I can layer and layer , but can't take off and off in summer 😂
Cape Town is known to have 4 seasons on one day at times. Hence also sometimes referred to as Cape of Storms. Sometimes you'll have sunny weather on the one side of Cape Town and then on the other side it's cloudy. Cape Town however is best during January and February
Please do come in the summer, but beware that in December Cape Town gets absolutely packed. December is definitely a character of its own in SA, but if you don't wanna party hard then you can perhaps come before or after December to avoid all the crowds.
Dope video. I have been thinking and wondering which of these 2 cities is better. I have been told that joburg feels more black and cape Town feels more European but I'll be sure to visit both and form my own opinion. Now I'm wondering what Pretoria is like. In regards to crime, yes I worry about it a lot. From the stats you show, it looks like Pretoria is safer than both of them (safety index) I also hear that joburg has a persistent air quality problem as well whereas the air in cape Town is clean
try to get to visit Mozambique: Maputo and (Ponta de Ouro beach, Bilene beach or Vilankulos beach), and Maputo is just 500 km drive from JHB (or 1 hour flight), and you will see quite impressive landscape.
Your review was pretty spot on. JHB grows out of industry and business. It has natural beauty and very determinate weather thst u can set a clock to in some instances. But because its driven by industry thr majortiy of go-to attractions are man made and the pace of life can be very hurried and stressful. There are, of course, beautiful natural spots there but most people will seek out a mall regularly and maybe go to a nature spot once a month. CT is driven by lifestyle. Its just crazy beautiful, as if the nature is always there reminding u to enjoy it. The malls even tend to throw focus on natural elements. The vibe is a bit more laid back, tho it is also professional. However ironically CT people can be cliquey, and JHB people dont seem to be quite as bad. CT is also coastal, so its weather is affected by both that ans the fact that it is literally where the freezing cold atlantic meets the Indian ocean. I think at the end of the day it depends on individual preferences - what youre seeking from your destination. Durban is a bit more messy, but much warmer. Much more od a beach bum vibe. More relaxed. And the prices only get a bit cheaper in one place - the Eastern Cape. Its a poor little nugget with some nights sites and a very warm community. (and inbetween weather). Otherwise prices are quite standardised all over SA, unless u happen to go to a venue that caters exclusively to overseas clientelle or u get hussled by a creative roadside entrepreneur😅😂. So glad you havent been affected by the crime and violence here yet. But you guys generally have your heads on right, and stay away from less safe neighbourhoods unless on part of an official tour. Being alert and avoiding dangerous situations is half the battle. Stay safe and thanks for sharing !
Cape Town is great for a tourist, but living there is a totally different experience. However, given that you guys are Americans, your experience will always be pleasant since you'll always be treated as tourists even if you live there. For locals, Cape Town is known to be extremely discriminatory, and seems to maintain racial/ethnic inequality synonymous to the days of Apartheid. Don't get me wrong Cape Town is the best run Metro in the Country and South Africans loooove and enjoy visiting Cape Town the same way you guys do, it's just that some of us wish it was socially and economically more inclusive, and it's not unfortunately.
My recommendation would be to book your accommodation now already for the summer - try and stay in Greenpoint (perfect central location) ie it’s the area close to the stadium…nestled between sea point and the waterfront and city centre.
Cape Town is definitely beautiful but too slow for me I love the fast pace of Johannesburg. Retire in Cape Town is a great idea but right now Jozi is the way . Love the videos y’all
Thanks for the feedback you guys. In my personal opinion, food tastes better in Johannesburg, also Johannesburg is colder than Cape Town. Nature wise, I mean Cape Town wins hands down.
Jhb has better weather. I was born in CT. Love it. Still see it as home. Ct can be raining at Cape Point and sweltering hot in Blouberg...lol The beautiful mountains make the weather. Johannesburg has more diversity in people. The wild animals are beautifully and easy access. CT costs less to be entertained. Its free to go tobthe beach or a hike. Jhb you need to pay to even go for a walk in a safe space. CT has the Malaysian influences you have sweet spicy and fragrant.. CT food costs more. You can compare the checkers app between different stores. But entertainment costs...you can't even park your car with out paying 😂
LOL, Jozi's getting totally outshined by the freaking awesome and mind-blowing Cape Town, no mercy given. Man, I really hope that Joburgers don't stumble upon this vid 'cause I got a hunch they'll go all out, slamming you to protect their damn beloved city. 😂😂😂😂 I'm a Joburger by the way giving my unbiased opinion and to agree with y'all that Cape Town is like heaven on earth, pure beauty vibes in every freaking way. It's right up there with the big shots like Paris, NYC, Rio de Janeiro, San Francisco, Barcelona, Rome, Sydney, and all that jazz.
I'm from Mpumalanga province and I really struggle to live in Cape town due to the weather.The name of my province explains itself,I'm from where the sun rises from.Meaning we get sunshine from as early as 5 am.Whereas in Cape town they get sunshine around 7-8 am.
I'm glad you enjoyed the visit! Yeah johannesberg is abit ran down, it's not really a great tourist destination but overall there is so much more to explore the next time yourl visit..dont stress about the crime here as long as you guys aviod the hoods...we would love to see you guys here again, always a pleasure
"Avoid the hoods"...you do realize you are speaking to black people people right?, they are black, they are not yt tourists that you are used to telling bad things about the people of this country to
Born in CT but living in JHB for the last 8years. They both have their pros and cons. Local Food wise in Cape Towm you need to try a Masala steak Gatsby from Golden Dish! Then when youre in JHB try Kota Joe roadhouse in Boksburg. Have a milkshake
Western Cape gets Winter Rainfall because of its climate, hence the flooding there recently. Most of the rest of SA gets its rainfall in the Summer, you can think of the Summer Thunderstorms.
Love your videos. Thank you for sharing. I live in BOTH JHB and in CPT - so I have the best of both worlds... but i have to say that the WINNER for me IS JHB!
As a Capetonian I suffered with that dry climate in gauteng... And even that gale force winds I missed 😂 when people would complain of the wind it would usually be a breeze . But I do miss the thunder and amazing clouds of Gauteng.
Great job I love the video. You know I going to Cape Town in August winter will be winding down. The weather forecast in August is 60 to 65 degrees not too bad. Wondering should I take short or not? As a retired military I should be able to live good. Probably don’t have to work at all.
Ive lived in JhbCBD for 4 years and its been a place of countless opportunities ❤ i love both Cities. Cape Town is where we get to go and enjoy what we've saved up for
You visited Cape Town in our rainy season so a lot of showers can sweep through and there are a lot of rainy days (which we rely on to fill our dams). The other three seasons though are sunny and warm. CT winters I don't find that cold but the wet does come with its own discomfort. Summer can be very hot here. Gauteng has lovely summer thunder showers though and the highveld cold I struggle more with.
@angelaphiri-wn4zv have you been to the Food Bazaar ?? Probably the BEST PLACE & MOST AFFORABLE to experience a bunch of Different Delicious Cuisines !! 💛
Braai in the Western Cape is Completely different fŕom a Gauteng Braai ... and You should really go to Tulbagh to the Paddagang Restaurant and have some Waterblommetjie Bredie, a very Traditional Cape / Western Cape Dish. My kids also recommend yo go to the Food Bazaar in Cape Town City. ...and You MUST try Cape Brandy Tart mmm 🤤 Peppermint Crisp Tert, Boerewors Roll with all the topping in Longstreet Cape Town at 1 or 2am in the morning. Thank You for All the Love You have been showing our Beautiful Country ... im sure people from Port Elizabeth and Durban are waiting for your review on their cities. As Always ❤ from #proudlyWesternCaperCapetonianSOUTHAFRICAN 🇿🇦
Thank you kindly guys, I'm enjoying your content, but seems you guys have not done the real Cape Town experience until you experienced summer life , but from the more impoverished side, our local is leka ,tourism spots, and foods,drink and entertainment...... That would be awesome to see you guys cover.... PS..... just make sure you got good security 😅
Johannesburg has the vibe, a beat' that one cannot deny, bustling, cosmopolitan, bright lights, stunning architectures and the pumping restaurants. I too travel extensively, especially here in SA and when I land back in Jozi, I feel the 'heartbeat' of the City of Gold 🥇 Thanks for the visit 🇿🇦 #Jozi
Those who love nature and a slower pace to life will love Cape Town. If you love a great night life and economic opportunity you would prefer Joburg. Also, the weather in Joburg is 10 times better than Cape Town. Having grown up in Cape Town and lived in Joburg, I would say Cape Town suits me more, but I can understand the love for Joburg too. I'm currently living in Kimberley, which is great for raising a family, but has nothing else to offer outside of its natural beauty. And I prefer it over both SA cities for safety reasons. Finally, having lived in Europe and the Americas, I, as a mixed race person, can safely say that racism is a worldwide issue and is not isolated to a specific city or country.
I lived in cape town and went with dad to live in benoni this was during high school I ran away took money from my fathers wallet and went to the coach station and bought a ticket back to cape town joburgh ain't it can't compare the two and I know places cape town is a colur3d thing and there is no prejudice in community we all get along from the lightest complexion to the darkest
Hi Freedom Chasers, I wonder how the cost of living has been calculated, because Cape Town properties are far too expensive compared to Johannesburg (both sales and rentals). Accommodation costs are supposed to constitute a high percentage of the total cost of living.
@@FREEDOMCHASERSLIFE according to Google it recommend people not to set their foot in S.A. and is biased according their stats people are getting killed every second in every street in S.A. and joburg is more affordable than cape town.
Thank you for visiting South Africa. Thank you from a citizen of Cape Town. Please keep our country in prayer as we really need our economy to thrive and crime rate decreased. Shalom to you and your family.

No way does Jozi get to list food as being better. The restaurants are phenominal in the Cape!
KZN will fight you on the night life. and CT is very chillax also seafood bra we cant compete with the coastal sea foods
Joburg is the New York of South Africa. great for businesses and work
CPT is like LA
Durban is like Miami

As a South African living in Cape Town, your views are refreshing! Definitely come back in the summer time - January to March for hot summer beach days, LOTS AND LOTS to see and do and lots and lots of nightlife vibes and entertainment. You need to visit the Cape Winelands. That is a MUST, the exquisite beauty out in the winelands, decadent food and wine and tons of summer outdoor markets.
Sounds great! We can’t wait to come back and see all of the things we missed.
Cape Town for it's beauty will always take it but what I do suggest is take a good tour through the Garden Route to Titsikhama spend a few nights and do Durban through to JHB. as you go further up you'll find more beautiful places 👌
Thanks for the recommendations
@@FREEDOMCHASERSLIFE Anytime bud🙏
Next time y'all come to Cape Town try Cape Malay food like rotti , curry , gatsby ect . Promise you won't regret it . Also get some fresh fish and chips in Hout Bay .
So glad you guys enjoyed our country! Please do come back!
We hope to sooner than later
Thank you for teaching me more about my country your vlogs are amazing 👌👌
My pleasure 😊 Thank you so much for watching.
Thank you for your unbiased comments about both Cape Town and Johannesburg. I have lived in Cape Town for 17 years, having been born and bred in Joburg. I love CT and hope to live the rest of my days here. I do however need to be honest and warn you that summer in CT is very hit and miss 🙈. When that south easter blows it is mean! CT weather is always unpredictable regardless of the season. That said, the extra daylight hours in summer is amazing! You can easily be on the beach until 21h00 at night and the sun rises really early. My personal recommendation is that the best few months to be in CT (weather wise) is between February and May. I love your videos and will keep watching! Shalom to you ❤
Thanks for watching
Beautiful summary , well presented. Happy to see you guys had a pleasant experience here in SA . Good luck on your future travels !
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching.
Hi guys, you still need to visit Durban and make sure that you try the bunny chow there, make sure that you also go to the Valley of 1 Thousand Hills and Ushaka Marine.
Thanks for the recommendation.
You should visit Durban. Weatherwise Durban cannot be beaten anywhere in SA. Bunny Chow is a Durban dish. Cannot compare. Did you visit the bush in Jhb? Nature in the 2 cities is totally different. You should visit the Drakensberg in KZN. Oh, you still have so much to explore. So, don't make up your mind just yet😊❤
thanks for the recommendations.
@@FREEDOMCHASERSLIFE yeah and ur guys when ur visit Ethekwini and Durban you shud visit Umhlanga Rocks,Ballito and La Lucia
The clouds on the mountain is called "the table cloth"
Thanks for the information
As a Cape Townian I’m so glad you enjoyed it here! I love living here, there’s always something fun or relaxing to do. Jozi people get a little salty when people say they prefer Cape Town, but I’ve enjoyed both🤣🇿🇦❤️
Durban = bunny chow, Joburg = kota, Cape Town = gatsby. You've got to try a masala steak gatsby. To me a kota looks like a bunny chow with gatsby fillings.
a good Kota in Joburg is found in Orlando Towers in Soweto
I think you'd like Durban and Southern KZN for weather. A lot more humid there. But warm winters and mild summers. Definitely the most temperate climate in SA. Specially with the three big cities. And dont mind a bit more rain.
Mosquitoes are on another level in kzn
Also, my husband and I would love to have you over for a meal if you visit Capetown again! We don't live in a fancy schmancy neighborhood, but we will make sure that you have an enjoyable time at our humble home.
thanks for the invitation. We really appreciate it.
@FREEDOMCHASERSLIFE What state do you live in? My husband and I have been to Atlanta Georgia, Orlando Florida and Washington DC.
That is so sweet and actually a brilliant idea 💡 kudos to you @roselynfredericks133 ❤
For warm (all year round) not dry climate (all year round), you should visit the KwaZulu Natal North Coast.
Hopefully soon
I had the opportunity to live in both cities & I must say that Joburg is crazy fast pace & life is expensive while Cape Town is slow & best place to raise a family ,I enjoy driving in Cape Town as there is not much traffic then in Joburg
Good to know
Being a Capetonian all my life, living working raising a family in this beautiful province, I don't see that we are "slower" , maybe more layback 😁.. lots wine and beautiful beaches... I have heard other Americans compare CPT to Los Angeles / California ... Clifton and Seapoint really gives off the same vibe. Bloubergstrand which is my hometown is a bit more like Miami 😊😊 but with a Truly SOUTH AFRICAN VIBE 😊
Excellent!!! Its good you enjoyed yourselves.
Thanks for watching
Hi guys great video I looking to come over to Cape Town in sept. You know Cape Town is the best🎉🎉🎉
Thanks for watching
@FREEDOMCHASERSLIFE ... in September/ October you need to visit Namakwaland and Langebaanin the Western Cape for its BEAUTTTIFULLLL Spring Flowers (it's world renowned I might add 🌼 🌸 🌻 😁)
Cape Town rains in winter, Johannesburg rains in summer
*storms in winter
Between the two cities, Cape Town is more family friendly, cleaner and has overall more to do because it caters to the vast diversity it attracts, hence the food has more variety as well. Jozi is more metropolitan and has an overall better nightlife and cultural experience. The Kota is overrated, Cape Town has the famous Gatsby and Durban has the Bunny Chow, Jozi literally combined the two and still isn't anywhere near as good as the other latter.
Good to know
Interesting review, however these aren't solidifiied indicators, A few weeks in each city gives Cape Town an unbalanced edge over Johannesburg, simply because thats what touristic areas are designed for, in which Cape Town leans in towards a more European concentric feel, which is well organised, clean, neat and definitely beautiful, with the city being an attraction for several rich individuals globally to stay in, however, whisking the cream on the cake may be enjoyable till you get to the actual cake, Cape Town over time becomes repulsive to certain demographics of people, lush and beauty becomes hindered behind limited entrepreneurial opportunities, high cost of living, and an insane divide in wealth which caters to a specific 'demographic group' of people which become unfavorable to people who live below middle income, which explains the the horrific crimes with statistics that match literal warzones.
Johannesburg on the other hand has alot of American elemental features, due to its insane uncontrolled growth which has led to more opportunities and a more diverse population which over time becomes more favourable to people who tend to want to increase their wealth, wealth is more balanced around the city amongst different demographics which explains why Johannesburg millionaires are almost ×3 of Cape Towns, in which several improvished areas turn into well sustained communities due to growing wealth amongst people here and people staying more long term therefore the lower income areas are relatively safer compared to Cape Towns, however, due to the city's uncontrolled growth, it has led to several repulsive features as urban decay and lack of maintenance due to businesses expanding more outwards, due to this expansion as well as a more 'balanced' wealth distribution around the city, crime is more widespread across the city which isn't favourable towards a certain class of people.
Cape Town vs Johannesburg will be a forever debate as it depends on the individual, however, for me personally I prefer to visit Cape Town and stay in Johannesburg❤
Thanks for watching
You can also go see mountains and go up with cable car in Hartebeespoort Dam area. it's about 30-40min drive from Fourways. Lots of nice places to eat and explore there too, like Camelion Village, UpperDeck, Jasmine, Prettville (with a little Eiffel tower) etc.
That's call hills not mountains man
Thanks for the comparison and where are guys off to next?
It’s a surprise lol
Winter 2023 has been very cold and rainy in Cape Town, it hasn't been this wet or cold for a long time.
This Winter has been more like the winters of my youth ( I know, now I sound 80 😂) I prefer winter , because I can layer and layer , but can't take off and off in summer 😂
Yay! the best city won!!! Love your feedback on South Africa.
Thanks for watching
Cape Town is known to have 4 seasons on one day at times.
Hence also sometimes referred to as Cape of Storms. Sometimes you'll have sunny weather on the one side of Cape Town and then on the other side it's cloudy. Cape Town however is best during January and February
Please do come in the summer, but beware that in December Cape Town gets absolutely packed. December is definitely a character of its own in SA, but if you don't wanna party hard then you can perhaps come before or after December to avoid all the crowds.
Hopefully soon
Dope video. I have been thinking and wondering which of these 2 cities is better. I have been told that joburg feels more black and cape Town feels more European but I'll be sure to visit both and form my own opinion.
Now I'm wondering what Pretoria is like.
In regards to crime, yes I worry about it a lot. From the stats you show, it looks like Pretoria is safer than both of them (safety index)
I also hear that joburg has a persistent air quality problem as well whereas the air in cape Town is clean
Thanks for watching
Pretoria is nice and laid back. Definitely love it, I've lived in Jozi for 5 years
try to get to visit Mozambique: Maputo and (Ponta de Ouro beach, Bilene beach or Vilankulos beach), and Maputo is just 500 km drive from JHB (or 1 hour flight), and you will see quite impressive landscape.
Very interesting video guys!🇿🇦🇺🇲❤
Thanks for watching
Your review was pretty spot on. JHB grows out of industry and business. It has natural beauty and very determinate weather thst u can set a clock to in some instances. But because its driven by industry thr majortiy of go-to attractions are man made and the pace of life can be very hurried and stressful. There are, of course, beautiful natural spots there but most people will seek out a mall regularly and maybe go to a nature spot once a month.
CT is driven by lifestyle. Its just crazy beautiful, as if the nature is always there reminding u to enjoy it. The malls even tend to throw focus on natural elements. The vibe is a bit more laid back, tho it is also professional. However ironically CT people can be cliquey, and JHB people dont seem to be quite as bad. CT is also coastal, so its weather is affected by both that ans the fact that it is literally where the freezing cold atlantic meets the Indian ocean. I think at the end of the day it depends on individual preferences - what youre seeking from your destination.
Durban is a bit more messy, but much warmer. Much more od a beach bum vibe. More relaxed.
And the prices only get a bit cheaper in one place - the Eastern Cape. Its a poor little nugget with some nights sites and a very warm community. (and inbetween weather). Otherwise prices are quite standardised all over SA, unless u happen to go to a venue that caters exclusively to overseas clientelle or u get hussled by a creative roadside entrepreneur😅😂.
So glad you havent been affected by the crime and violence here yet. But you guys generally have your heads on right, and stay away from less safe neighbourhoods unless on part of an official tour. Being alert and avoiding dangerous situations is half the battle.
Stay safe and thanks for sharing !
We appreciate your feedback and thanks for watching!
Cape Town is great for a tourist, but living there is a totally different experience. However, given that you guys are Americans, your experience will always be pleasant since you'll always be treated as tourists even if you live there. For locals, Cape Town is known to be extremely discriminatory, and seems to maintain racial/ethnic inequality synonymous to the days of Apartheid.
Don't get me wrong Cape Town is the best run Metro in the Country and South Africans loooove and enjoy visiting Cape Town the same way you guys do, it's just that some of us wish it was socially and economically more inclusive, and it's not unfortunately.
Couldn't you say the same about JHB?
Joburgers always hating on the mother city😂
They just can't stand people who litter their streets every chance they get
Emphasis on *some* of us.
How am I hating when I literally said we love the city, it’s the best run metro and we enjoy visiting it? Come on guys..
You guys are such a wonderful couple
Seriously keep it up
Thank you so much we really appreciate that.
I agree you guys have the most beautiful smiles !!
My recommendation would be to book your accommodation now already for the summer - try and stay in Greenpoint (perfect central location) ie it’s the area close to the stadium…nestled between sea point and the waterfront and city centre.
Thanks for the advice
Comparing our cities is ok, but comparing countries will generate animosity and we begin insulting one another. We love you guys

Cape Town is definitely beautiful but too slow for me I love the fast pace of Johannesburg. Retire in Cape Town is a great idea but right now Jozi is the way . Love the videos y’all
Thanks for watching
Thanks for the feedback you guys. In my personal opinion, food tastes better in Johannesburg, also Johannesburg is colder than Cape Town.
Nature wise, I mean Cape Town wins hands down.
Jhb has better weather. I was born in CT. Love it. Still see it as home.
Ct can be raining at Cape Point and sweltering hot in Blouberg...lol
The beautiful mountains make the weather.
Johannesburg has more diversity in people. The wild animals are beautifully and easy access.
CT costs less to be entertained. Its free to go tobthe beach or a hike.
Jhb you need to pay to even go for a walk in a safe space.
CT has the Malaysian influences you have sweet spicy and fragrant..
CT food costs more.
You can compare the checkers app between different stores.
But entertainment costs...you can't even park your car with out paying 😂
LOL, Jozi's getting totally outshined by the freaking awesome and mind-blowing Cape Town, no mercy given.
Man, I really hope that Joburgers don't stumble upon this vid 'cause I got a hunch they'll go all out, slamming you to protect their damn beloved city. 😂😂😂😂
I'm a Joburger by the way giving my unbiased opinion and to agree with y'all that Cape Town is like heaven on earth, pure beauty vibes in every freaking way.
It's right up there with the big shots like Paris, NYC, Rio de Janeiro, San Francisco, Barcelona, Rome, Sydney, and all that jazz.
😂😂😂 thanks for watching.
I find Jo'burg easier as a POC, it's more of a melting pot imo. Great video! Enjoy the rest of your stay!

I'm from Mpumalanga province and I really struggle to live in Cape town due to the weather.The name of my province explains itself,I'm from where the sun rises from.Meaning we get sunshine from as early as 5 am.Whereas in Cape town they get sunshine around 7-8 am.
Cape Town is for newly weds and nearly deads, Joburgs weather is tops. Natal Southcoast is great for winter getaway.
Nearly deads😂😂
Thanks for watching
Nearly Deads ?? 😮 really ... Cape Town / Western Cape are just more laid back ... best place if you fall under the Artistic Category 🎨 🖌
I'm glad you enjoyed the visit! Yeah johannesberg is abit ran down, it's not really a great tourist destination but overall there is so much more to explore the next time yourl visit..dont stress about the crime here as long as you guys aviod the hoods...we would love to see you guys here again, always a pleasure
"Avoid the hoods"...you do realize you are speaking to black people people right?, they are black, they are not yt tourists that you are used to telling bad things about the people of this country to
There's more crime in the CBD than in the hoods.
Thanks for watching
Born in CT but living in JHB for the last 8years. They both have their pros and cons.
Local Food wise in Cape Towm you need to try a Masala steak Gatsby from Golden Dish!
Then when youre in JHB try Kota Joe roadhouse in Boksburg. Have a milkshake
Thanks for the recommendations
Western Cape gets Winter Rainfall because of its climate, hence the flooding there recently. Most of the rest of SA gets its rainfall in the Summer, you can think of the Summer Thunderstorms.
They is also Kingdom of KwaZulu-Natal, Bloemfontein,Mpumalanga etc
Free state
Love your videos. Thank you for sharing.
I live in BOTH JHB and in CPT - so I have the best of both worlds... but i have to say that the WINNER for me IS JHB!
Absolutely
Johannesburg is the heartbeat of South Africa. That's all I have to say.
Absolutely
Yet Cape Town is known as the MOTHER City.

. But I do miss the thunder and amazing clouds of Gauteng.

I love this so much negativity about this country and you have these two coming here and loving it.
Great job I love the video. You know I going to Cape Town in August winter will be winding down. The weather forecast in August is 60 to 65 degrees not too bad. Wondering should I take short or not? As a retired military I should be able to live good. Probably don’t have to work at all.

Perfect summary 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽😁

You visited Cape Town in our rainy season so a lot of showers can sweep through and there are a lot of rainy days (which we rely on to fill our dams). The other three seasons though are sunny and warm. CT winters I don't find that cold but the wet does come with its own discomfort. Summer can be very hot here. Gauteng has lovely summer thunder showers though and the highveld cold I struggle more with.

Braai in the Western Cape is Completely different fŕom a Gauteng Braai ... and You should really go to Tulbagh to the Paddagang Restaurant and have some Waterblommetjie Bredie, a very Traditional Cape / Western Cape Dish.
My kids also recommend yo go to the Food Bazaar in Cape Town City.
...and You MUST try Cape Brandy Tart mmm 🤤 Peppermint Crisp Tert, Boerewors Roll with all the topping in Longstreet Cape Town at 1 or 2am in the morning.

Thank you kindly guys, I'm enjoying your content, but seems you guys have not done the real Cape Town experience until you experienced summer life , but from the more impoverished side, our local is leka ,tourism spots, and foods,drink and entertainment......
That would be awesome to see you guys cover....
PS..... just make sure you got good security 😅
Cape Town for the win for sure! Aaaall the blends in beauty

Property buying and renting is expensive in CT, beautiful place for a holiday.
Maybe so
4:37 We used to eat Koek sisters all throughout primary school but now I don't think I'd still enjoy them as much as I did back then
You really got to came and try Mozambique !! Love your content.
Hopefully soon
You guys must go to Kruger Park when you come back, see the wildlife and African bush, it'll blow your minds.
Yeah definitely want
Come to Durban in Summer bro 🙏❤️
Johannesburg has the vibe, a beat' that one cannot deny, bustling, cosmopolitan, bright lights, stunning architectures and the pumping restaurants.

@@palesamogorosi8939 because it's bullshit, Jhb is a shit hole.
Those who love nature and a slower pace to life will love Cape Town. If you love a great night life and economic opportunity you would prefer Joburg. Also, the weather in Joburg is 10 times better than Cape Town. Having grown up in Cape Town and lived in Joburg, I would say Cape Town suits me more, but I can understand the love for Joburg too. I'm currently living in Kimberley, which is great for raising a family, but has nothing else to offer outside of its natural beauty. And I prefer it over both SA cities for safety reasons. Finally, having lived in Europe and the Americas, I, as a mixed race person, can safely say that racism is a worldwide issue and is not isolated to a specific city or country.
What made you go back to South Africa after living in first world countries?
And what sort of well paying work is there to do in Kimberly?

Hi Freedom Chasers,
I wonder how the cost of living has been calculated, because Cape Town properties are far too expensive compared to Johannesburg (both sales and rentals). Accommodation costs are supposed to constitute a high percentage of the total cost of living.
we didn’t calculate it ourselves. We got it off of Google.
@@FREEDOMCHASERSLIFE according to Google it recommend people not to set their foot in S.A. and is biased according their stats people are getting killed every second in every street in S.A. and joburg is more affordable than cape town.
