Great video! I’m from Cape Town and spent a wonderful couple of weeks there recently. For your next trip to CT I’d recommend a day at The Spice Route (Wine, beer, gin, chocolate, biltong tasting, all at one beautiful location), a unique cupcake and wine pairing at Delheim Wine Estate, a cup of the best coffee at Truth Coffee Roasting, a sunrise hot air balloon ride over the Cape winelands, a trip to World of Birds, a ride on the super touristy red bus (unbeatable views and you get to see A LOT), a trip to Hermanus for whale watching season, hiking then brunch at Fynkos in Kirstenbosch botanical gardens, a Saturday spent at the super hipster Old Biscuit Mill, either joining a tour group or asking an SA friend to drive you outside the city to see the epic Cango Caves, to feed baby giraffe at Chandelier Game Lodge, and to interact with ostriches at the Cango ostrich farm (my personal favourite). Also, for a fancy early dinner with stellar views, I recommend The Lawns. It’s literally on the mountain and you get the most epic backdrop to your meal!
WOW - After this visit I thought I'd done a lot but there's so much more to do! I hope people planning a trip see your comment too :) It's absolute gold! Thank you so much for taking the time to watch the video and then share so many more amazing spots to visit. You're an angel! Phoebe x
29 years ago I proposed to my beautiful wife, Jan, on Signal Hill. We're still happily married with 3 wonderful children. Cape Town is my favorite place on Earth. Hope you had a great time there.
Glad you enjoyed this jewel of the south most African continent. Do find time to visit again, and again coz we love, love, you. There is lots more to see and enjoy here. The country is much bigger than she actually looks on the map and you cannot see everything, even if you were born here, like me. All nine provinces are unique and each have marvels to see and enjoy. I was born here some 30 years ago, but am still discovering new things and places in this country to this very day. Do come and breath this air, it's amazing 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Thank you so much for the lovely comment :) It means a lot to the both of us! We had the best time on our trip - sounds like we need to come back again to see, do and EAT even more!! Thanks again and hope you have a wonderful day ahead. Phoebe xx
It really is! I was so surprised by the food. I thought SA would be all about natural beauty... I never anticipated it would be such an amazing food destination!
So glad to hear you loved it, Kimberly! We did too - this was our second visit and I'm so happy we got to back and experience it again. It rained the whole time during our first visit so it was good to properly see and experience everything :) Still can't get over all the good food we ate - YUM! Have a great week ahead and thanks so much for watching. Phoebe x
Hey Phoebe I want to say thank you for referring to the escape from the cape tour company . My friend booked a trip with them and his having a great time in Cape Town really appreciate your video and is very inspiring keep up the good work my friend planning to go back to South Africa next year with me. He said South Africa is pretty modern like Canada since we lived in Canada and Cape Town is similar to Australia . Cheers Chris
Thank you so much for watching, Carl! Yesss we had a great time :) Our first visit many years ago it rained pretty much the whole time so we missed out on seeing the coastline and spending time outdoors. It was really nice to get that chance this time! We had an amazing time just like you :) Thanks again and have a wonderful week ahead. Phoebe x
Welcome back to SA - I live up in Pretoria but CT is big time my fav SA city. Great scenery, that mountain, cold water to swim in so when there my days usually includes a drive to Bloubergstrand for a swim, great wine, awesome sunsets and a great vibe. Sorry you ended it with a tummy problem though, but hopefully the rest will go smooth as silk.
I am from South Africa (Johannesburg) but live in the UK now. I have loads of family and friends in Cape Town. Cape Town is one of my favourite places in the world.
When I went to Cape Town I stayed at a hotel apartment in the CBD and used the CitySightseeing Cape Town tour company on Long Street. They have a Cape Explorer tour of the Wine lands and Cape Point. They also have hop on hop off Tours of the city landmarks. It’s inexpensive and safe during the day. You can even arrange a helicopter tour which was fantastic.I wouldn’t say you must have a personal guide by any stretch. The guides on my day tours were great and i got a lot out of exploring Table Mountain and the beaches with the hop on hop off. And outside the tour office there were also some free walking tours of that colorful neighborhood and museum district. It was the best bang for the buck vacation in my life so I wouldn’t discourage someone if they can’t afford a personal guide. Not necessary in my opinion, especially if you explore in the daytime and use common sense. No different than when I visited Sidney in my opinion.
Eek so exciting! I've booked on a tour of SA for next August, hitting up Jo'Berg, a couple of national parks, Durban & Cape Town. Have watched all of your SA videos - will def use your recommendations! Thank you!
Oh wow!! You're going to have such an amazing time, Kelly :) So excited for you and also really happy to hear the videos had some good recommendation for you. Enjoy every moment of your adventure - you're going to love it. Phoebe x
Heya! Those colored houses reminds me of my trip to Curaçao 🇨🇼. Paragliding is one of my bucket list things. You’re so lucky to have experienced one right here. Also feels so weird to see my language in a commonwealth country 😁. Also I noticed your “good morning you guys” has been changed to “good morning my loves” how did that happen haha 😆. That lookout at Hout Bay is gorgeous. “Hout” is a Dutch word for “wood” by the way. Those penguins at Boulders Beach are so cute 🥰. I’m glad you’re feeling better now and that you’re recovered from the stomach bug. Thanks for sharing your wonderful adventure and have a great week 🤙
hahaha It certainly is funny with all the dutch words flying about! I met a lady on the plane who was Dutch and she was talking about how easy it has been for her to chat with people! hahaha I wasn't sure anyone would notice the little change to 'my loves' hehe
Brilliant again. I have been eating South African street food for the last few days cooked by a former rugby pro so I can vouch for how good it is! The sausages are amazing. I'm still not sold on the high up stuff 😧 but what a view!
Honestly if you think Cape Town is beautiful, it gets better if you drive in land. (Winelands, mountains, wescoast) Sep-Aug there are flower tours. We have a lot of wine cellars (with some of the best wines in the world.) We are also known for our beers and ciders. Biltong is a must try! Melktert, koesisters, bunny chow, a gatsby, and samosas. There is so much! You can also do shark cage diving, canoeing, there are sunset cruises. There is also the famous lighthouse in the Southest point in Africa that is a must visit (Cape Agulhas). But Cape Town is a great starting point.
Hi Phoebe and Matt. Hope you guys are doing ok. It looks like you guys were having fun. It's great to at least feel normal again. The video is high quality and Phoebe the communicator. Oh, so good. Harriet and I would like to meet you guys one day in Washington D.C. We live close by. Lots to do and see. i'm sorry to hear you got some stomach bug towards the end of your trip. Hope you're better. Cape town has been on our bucket list for a while. Probably, next year for us. Thank you for the wonderful scenery and delicious food. Sending you Matt lots of love.❤❤ Harriet , Jim and Yuki. Richmond, Va.
Hey Jim and Harriet and Yuki! We're both feeling MUCH better now, thank goodness :) Didn't Matt do an amazing job with this one? When we're filming them I always have a plan in mind and I hope it's going to turn out well but when I see the finished product it always blows me away - Matt has such a talent for this stuff and he's never even studied it! Just a natural! So glad you enjoyed this one and I hope you get to visit Cape Town one day very soon - I think you'd love South Africa :) Hopefully we get to visit the US again soon too! Phoebe x
Thank you again that l have watch your video films it so fantastic its leed to see some things its has never see before it so attractive and enjoy able to its when you have introduced to see some things like enjoy food and fruits it wonderful one
We stayed in Cape Town the last 2 weeks with 2 friends. It's a very particular and beautiful place where rich a poor live really together. We saw beautiful places and landscape but we were assaulted twice in the city center, people tryind to robe us with violence. My 2 friends (girls) are still shoked of this violence and a little bit hurt. Still love the city and want to comeback again, but as we said at the end, this violence are the reality of Cape and part of the game but people have to know it. Beautiful video btw :)
Thank you so much for watching and sharing! May I ask, did you have a guide with you? No judgement or anything like that, it’s just we’ve never visited without one so I’m wondering if that was a factor - good to know so we can pass that kind of info onto others so they can feel prepared and confident when they visit as well 🙌🏻
It's good that you're comfortable in your second visit to Cape Town, this place is amazing when it comes to its scenery. How long will be staying in South Africa?
I hope you found your answer before now! As a South African I will just say Cape Town and Joburg are two very different places. I would visit the North (outside of Joburg) for the Game Reserves (safaris) and I would visit Cape Town for the City vibe, great restaurants, great beaches, hikes, mountains and wine farms. If you can visit both while in SA would be ideal!
Hey Phoebe… I’m trying to understand how to find links to guides in Cape Town but I think I need a young person to help us figure out where you’ve posted them 🤪
Hahaha! You twisted my arm! 😆 Thanks so much! Capetown is right up my alley. Seafood, hiking, nature, rich culture and amazing food! 😍 Western Australia vibes! And just subscribed as well, looking forward to more contents Phoebe!
If you’re into coffee they have an awesome coffee scene too! Actually, I have an older video on the channel you should check out too for more spots to visit. Thank you so much for subscribing - it has such a big impact on my channel, I really appreciate the support love 🥰🙏🏼♥️
@Little Grey Box YES! A big coffee fan! Not snobby but picky enough haha. Glad I found your channel! I'm currently watching through most of it, more happy travels! 🤗
I can recommend four beautiful places outside Stellenbosch, all within a few kms from one another, all wine farms. There is the magnificent Lanzerac with sweeping lawns, Oak trees, restaurant, deli and stunning old Cape Dutch architecture, then there is the outrageously beautiful Postcard Cafe on a wine farm closeby, with a stunning wine tasting venue in a Japanese pagoda style in the middle of a lake. At the top of the Helshoogte pass there is Delaire Graf, a really beautiful wine farm with restaurants and Spa, and on the left of the pass there is Tokara which has a wine tasting venue, restaurant with stunning views, and a deli down the road. All four these places can be visited in one day, depending on how long you spend at each
Oh amazing to watched in this episode in Australia l have enjoy every things great beautifully in planet also pretty watch eating and game sports also keep hair style fashion able walking beautifully .thanks a lot .
How did you booked this tour with escape from the cape ? Did you pay cash or credit card ? I try to book it but it said I have to email them on the site. Thanks for your help Cheers Adam
Well done, it was great watch a vlog about my home town that is not cringe-worthy (like Anthony Bourdain's poor attempt) . Compared to many other cities around the world, it appears that Cape Town is not easy to represent in a video. Probably because I live here 😅 Glad you enjoyed it, looking forward to the rest of the series! 👌 Next time, take a trip up the Garden Route, about a 4 hour drive from Cape Town. I still feel like a tourist there 😁
Oh wow! Thank you so much, I can't tell you how much we appreciate the kind comment :) We had a really great time in Cape Town. Our last visit it was overcast and rainy so it was pretty special to get to properly experience the coastline this time around :) Would LOVE to come back and see more!! Feels like there are still so many other spots we need to check out. Thanks for watching - hope you have a good week ahead. Phoebe x
Oh gosh that’s so hard to answer! Like choosing a favourite movie or song. There are so many that hold a special spot in my heart. Iceland and Morocco are definitely two of the most wild and beautiful spots but I also love Japan and New Zealand. The safari in South Africa is unforgettable. The national parks in the US are gorgeous! The food in Singapore is unmatched. The people in Thailand are the BEST. See! You can’t choose just one 😂
Awesome video !! I will be in Cape Town in about 2 weeks. My question is what what else do I need other then proof of Covid vaccination and a Covid test to enter the country of South Africa ??!! Thanks for your time !!
We didn’t need proof of a test, coming from Australia, just an international vaccine certificate. We also needed to complete a form (Health Questionnaire), show our flight details, itinerary for our trip and download an app. The details on all these items were shared on the airlines website when we looked at our booking. We had to have all paperwork printed out. While they never checked to see if we downloaded the app, they definitely checked the vaccine certificate and took the printed/completed form. Our flight details and itinerary were checked in Australia at the airport as was all the other paperwork. I’m nervous to give specific advice in case requirements change so please be sure to check with your airline and any other online resource you can find to confirm current requirements 🙌🏻
Would you recommend escape to the cape tour company ? I will be traveling solo ? Since all my friends is scare to come to South Africa with me . Also would you recommend 1 week in Capetown ?
@@travelforphoebe that’s awesome thank you I’m going to look into booking with them 😃. Also I might backpack to Kenya first than South Africa . I only go to South Africa for Capetown not really johburg 🤣 Cheers Chris
Would you recommend travel alone in Capetown or Johannesburg? I’m a single male introvert traveler really wanna visit Capetown ? Is there a safety concern when arriving at Capetown ?
I've never visited as a solo traveller so all I can do is share my experience and what I would do if I were to go by myself. I'd get a driver/guide 100% - that's what would make me feel the most confident and ensure I had the best time possible!
@@travelforphoebe that’s awesome advice thank you btw I was trying to look at intrepid travel group I might just only visit Capetown maybe not Johannesburg. I gotta say that South Africa the house looks very modern like Canada living in Canada is safer than South Africa but I think South Africa is very beautiful Cheers Jordan
@Pierre Danm sometimes I like using my phone to do Snapchat story or Instagram story and nope I’m kinda not into dressing luxury and I don’t drive rich car but thanks for the advice
Did the trip look dangerous in our video or did it look super fun?! :D I totally get why you'd have fears, we did before our first visit too. Both times we've had a guide/driver and had no safety issues at all. We listen to our guides, do our sightseeing with them with us and just follow the usual safety precautions we use for every trip we take (i.e. we don't get black-out drunk and wander off down a dark street alone haha). We love Cape Town and wouldn't hesitate to visit again :)
Sad statement, you need a guide to feel safer, not be safer just feel safer….. does not sound good…. Guide should be there to help ensure you don’t miss anything not feel safer or been safe….. but then with a crime index of 83.9 - very high, might not be the best place to visit
I hear what you’re saying but I guess it’s a personal thing then cos I feel safer when I’m with a guide in any city. You know they’re familiar with any spots tourists may be targeted with scams and steer you clear of anything that could result in you having a less than wonderful time. That local knowledge and insight is what you pay for 😊🙌🏻
@@travelforphoebe I would recommend getting out of the cbd and staying a few days down on the south peninsula. Kalk Bay is the most amazing little fishing village that just has it's own vibe. Amazing hikes, swimming in tidal pools, bars, shops, restaurants and a harbor all in walking distance in one place. Park car and do it all. Kommetjie, Scarborough and Noordhoek are all down that side too and also amazing. :)
Great video! I’m from Cape Town and spent a wonderful couple of weeks there recently. For your next trip to CT I’d recommend a day at The Spice Route (Wine, beer, gin, chocolate, biltong tasting, all at one beautiful location), a unique cupcake and wine pairing at Delheim Wine Estate, a cup of the best coffee at Truth Coffee Roasting, a sunrise hot air balloon ride over the Cape winelands, a trip to World of Birds, a ride on the super touristy red bus (unbeatable views and you get to see A LOT), a trip to Hermanus for whale watching season, hiking then brunch at Fynkos in Kirstenbosch botanical gardens, a Saturday spent at the super hipster Old Biscuit Mill, either joining a tour group or asking an SA friend to drive you outside the city to see the epic Cango Caves, to feed baby giraffe at Chandelier Game Lodge, and to interact with ostriches at the Cango ostrich farm (my personal favourite).

were coming this week you should give us a guide around if you dont mind
Thanks for the great recommendations! We will be SA next month and can’t wait😊
I just read this and forgot to see the video
29 years ago I proposed to my beautiful wife, Jan, on Signal Hill. We're still happily married with 3 wonderful children. Cape Town is my favorite place on Earth. Hope you had a great time there.
Oh my gosh, that is so sweet!! What a beautiful spot to have chosen to propose :)
I am a Cape Town local and every day Cape Town blows me away.
It is SO beautiful!
I REALISED HOW BLESSED I AM TO BE SOUTH AFRICAN
Glad you enjoyed this jewel of the south most African continent. Do find time to visit again, and again coz we love, love, you. There is lots more to see and enjoy here. The country is much bigger than she actually looks on the map and you cannot see everything, even if you were born here, like me. All nine provinces are unique and each have marvels to see and enjoy.

One of the most beautiful cities in the world. Food there is outta this world. Thanks for the video.
It really is! I was so surprised by the food. I thought SA would be all about natural beauty... I never anticipated it would be such an amazing food destination!
I went to Cape Town in 2019. I loved it. I hope to go back soon!
So glad to hear you loved it, Kimberly! We did too - this was our second visit and I'm so happy we got to back and experience it again.

Welcome back to SA - I live up in Pretoria but CT is big time my fav SA city. Great scenery, that mountain, cold water to swim in so when there my days usually includes a drive to Bloubergstrand for a swim, great wine, awesome sunsets and a great vibe. Sorry you ended it with a tummy problem though, but hopefully the rest will go smooth as silk.

SAME! So glad the sun was out this time - it was much different in the sunny weather vs the overcast weather haha
@@travelforphoebe yeah, sunny Cape Town is great!! We always get unlucky there with the crazy strong wind 🙈😅

An adventurous para gliding. Yet to experience that .....might have been exciting...
N enjoyed the flying in the air.
Thanks for watching 🙏🏼
Super helpful video - traveling to Cape Town for the first time in a couple of weeks and plan on having a guide to take us around.
Glad it was helpful! :)
Thanks you so much for this remarkable video about Cape Town, South Africa with many great its have to offers for tourists in 2022!
Thank you so much for watching and for the lovely comments 😊🙌🏻
Roll that rrrrrr! Great! South African living in Brisbane!
😂😂
What a beautiful town with colourful houses and Aweee the penguins 🐧 ❤️. The fine dining food look amazing too.
Isn't it beautiful? The coastline there is just magical!
@@travelforphoebe yes. I wish to visit one day and see the penguins 🐧
Honestly if you think Cape Town is beautiful, it gets better if you drive in land. (Winelands, mountains, wescoast)
Sep-Aug there are flower tours.
We have a lot of wine cellars (with some of the best wines in the world.)
We are also known for our beers and ciders.
Biltong is a must try!
Melktert, koesisters, bunny chow, a gatsby, and samosas.
There is so much!
You can also do shark cage diving, canoeing, there are sunset cruises.
There is also the famous lighthouse in the Southest point in Africa that is a must visit (Cape Agulhas).
But Cape Town is a great starting point.
Take me back to Brisbane with you. 🥰. I was just watching a Sydney review vlog of yours last week. Now you're here. Great.
hahaha we're everywhere!! :) So glad you found our channel!! Thanks for watching and hope you have a beautiful week ahead - Phoebe x
Hi Phoebe and Matt. Hope you guys are doing ok. It looks like you guys were having fun. It's great to at least feel normal again. The video is high quality and Phoebe the communicator. Oh, so good. Harriet and I would like to meet you guys one day in Washington D.C. We live close by. Lots to do and see. i'm sorry to hear you got some stomach bug towards the end of your trip.
Hope you're better. Cape town has been on our bucket list for a while. Probably, next year for us. Thank you for the wonderful scenery and delicious food.
Sending you Matt lots of love.❤❤ Harriet , Jim and Yuki. Richmond, Va.

Thank you again that l have watch your video films it so fantastic its leed to see some things its has never see before it so attractive and enjoy able to its when you have introduced to see some things like enjoy food and fruits it wonderful one
the idea of South Africa not being safe is overplayed and not true.
more than 60 murders a day is hardly overplayed. It is reality bt of course some lives are cheap according to some people who downplay the carnage.
CT us beautiful.....with scenic beautiful....
Amazing content guys🔥🔥🔥⭐️⭐️⭐️ Cape Town : Home Town❤️Crave for that Biltong now lol. Take care and keep up with your awesome work🍾
Thank you so much 😁 so happy you liked this one! We had the BEST time!!
@@travelforphoebe ❤🙂⭐
We stayed in Cape Town the last 2 weeks with 2 friends. It's a very particular and beautiful place where rich a poor live really together. We saw beautiful places and landscape but we were assaulted twice in the city center, people tryind to robe us with violence. My 2 friends (girls) are still shoked of this violence and a little bit hurt. Still love the city and want to comeback again, but as we said at the end, this violence are the reality of Cape and part of the game but people have to know it.

About 18 minutes and 43 seconds of it 😂🙏🏼 hope you have a great time!
It's good that you're comfortable in your second visit to Cape Town, this place is amazing when it comes to its scenery. How long will be staying in South Africa?
We were there a couple of weeks ago but we're back home now :) Had a great time!

Yeah my home town!
We LOVED it!!
The BEST time to visit Cape Town is spring - June to October or Autumn -March April May
June, July and August is definitely not spring!
How did you booked this tour with escape from the cape ? Did you pay cash or credit card ? I try to book it but it said I have to email them on the site. Thanks for your help
Cheers
Adam
Well done, it was great watch a vlog about my home town that is not cringe-worthy (like Anthony Bourdain's poor attempt) . Compared to many other cities around the world, it appears that Cape Town is not easy to represent in a video. Probably because I live here 😅 Glad you enjoyed it, looking forward to the rest of the series! 👌
Next time, take a trip up the Garden Route, about a 4 hour drive from Cape Town. I still feel like a tourist there 😁
Oh wow! Thank you so much, I can't tell you how much we appreciate the kind comment :) We had a really great time in Cape Town. Our last visit it was overcast and rainy so it was pretty special to get to properly experience the coastline this time around :) Would LOVE to come back and see more!! Feels like there are still so many other spots we need to check out. Thanks for watching - hope you have a good week ahead. Phoebe x
Love your videos,💖💗
Thank you!!
I am from Cape town too I was born there and my whole family born there too My friend lives in Hout bay Cape town his name is Avram Epstein.
Thanks for watching 🙏🏼
Hey Phoebe and Matt, a tough question I realise, which country would you rate as the best you guys have visited so far?
Oh gosh that’s so hard to answer! Like choosing a favourite movie or song. There are so many that hold a special spot in my heart. Iceland and Morocco are definitely two of the most wild and beautiful spots but I also love Japan and New Zealand. The safari in South Africa is unforgettable. The national parks in the US are gorgeous! The food in Singapore is unmatched. The people in Thailand are the BEST. See! You can’t choose just one 😂
Wow amazing your video travel
Thank you!
@@travelforphoebe 🥰
What the name of the agency for the tour guide thank you
In the video description ✊🏻
wow so amaizing nice ved......zbrdas wonderful
Thank you so much!! :)
@@travelforphoebe see you in my house thankss wil back
Thanks!
As always - THANK YOU Jim and Harriet xx
Awesome video !! I will be in Cape Town in about 2 weeks. My question is what what else do I need other then proof of Covid vaccination and a Covid test to enter the country of South Africa ??!! Thanks for your time !!
We didn’t need proof of a test, coming from Australia, just an international vaccine certificate. We also needed to complete a form (Health Questionnaire), show our flight details, itinerary for our trip and download an app. The details on all these items were shared on the airlines website when we looked at our booking. We had to have all paperwork printed out. While they never checked to see if we downloaded the app, they definitely checked the vaccine certificate and took the printed/completed form. Our flight details and itinerary were checked in Australia at the airport as was all the other paperwork. I’m nervous to give specific advice in case requirements change so please be sure to check with your airline and any other online resource you can find to confirm current requirements 🙌🏻
@@travelforphoebe Thanks again for your response !!
Please make a video on rich cricketing culture of Australia
How would that fit into our travel channel? And, also, neither of us likes cricket haha :)
@@travelforphoebe if that's the case it's okay.
I am enjoying your videos anyway 😉
Thank goodness! :D
Woow love from pakistan 😍
Thank you!
Would you recommend escape to the cape tour company ? I will be traveling solo ? Since all my friends is scare to come to South Africa with me .
Also would you recommend 1 week in Capetown ?
I literally did recommend them in this video 😂♥️🙏🏼 yes!! 10/10!!
@@travelforphoebe that’s awesome thank you I’m going to look into booking with them 😃.
Also I might backpack to Kenya first than South Africa . I only go to South Africa for Capetown not really johburg 🤣
Cheers
Chris
Did you have a guide your whole stay?
Yes - the only time he wasn’t with us was when we were on day tours with other tour companies and their guides
Your accent sounds partially South African
hahaha I guess the Aussie accent does sound similar to the SA!
How do you arrange for the guide? Does it include transportation?
Hi! There’s a link to the guide in the video description and you just contact them directly to discuss arrangements including transportation 🙏🏼
@@travelforphoebe thank you
Hello 👋
Would you recommend travel alone in Capetown or Johannesburg? I’m a single male introvert traveler really wanna visit Capetown ? Is there a safety concern when arriving at Capetown ?
I've never visited as a solo traveller so all I can do is share my experience and what I would do if I were to go by myself. I'd get a driver/guide 100% - that's what would make me feel the most confident and ensure I had the best time possible!
Okay that comment is spot on!!! Great advice!
Oh my gosh ♥️😍 thank you soooo much
@@travelforphoebe that’s awesome advice thank you btw I was trying to look at intrepid travel group I might just only visit Capetown maybe not Johannesburg.
I gotta say that South Africa the house looks very modern like Canada living in Canada is safer than South Africa but I think South Africa is very beautiful
Cheers

@Pierre Danm sometimes I like using my phone to do Snapchat story or Instagram story and nope I’m kinda not into dressing luxury and I don’t drive rich car but thanks for the advice
nice
Thanks
I m here for MaXhosa background
As of June how’s the weather there now ?
We're back home in Australia so I'm not sure but I'd recommend just checking the weather app or looking up the weather online :)
@Little Grey Box by the way I wrote down some of the places you visited. Thank you for this great video.
It’s not Bucket, it’s Bouquet! LOL
hahahahahah WHAT. A. COMMENT.
Where is your favorite places in Cape Town, South Africa in July of 2022?
All our favourites are in this video I reckon! 😍
Wasn’t the trip really dangerous because Capetown is famous for being a highly rated crime city and there are allot of shootings there.
Did the trip look dangerous in our video or did it look super fun?! :D I totally get why you'd have fears, we did before our first visit too. Both times we've had a guide/driver and had no safety issues at all. We listen to our guides, do our sightseeing with them with us and just follow the usual safety precautions we use for every trip we take (i.e. we don't get black-out drunk and wander off down a dark street alone haha). We love Cape Town and wouldn't hesitate to visit again :)
Is that Sibs from Kfm?
haha I had to google this!
Do you live in SA
No, we live in Australia!
@@travelforphoebe Oh cool I will subscribe, are you still in SA
Thank you 🙏🏼😊 We’re back home in Australia now - filming some new videos around the north coast of New South Wales!
@@travelforphoebe Oh cool if you back in SA some time in the future It would be epic to meet you😂
👍👍👍
ฉันชอบมันมากมันสนุกมาก

2nd comment
haha well done :D
Anyone ever tell you you look like Blake Lively?
Oh my gosh! I wish! :) Thank you so much for watching xx
Sad statement, you need a guide to feel safer, not be safer just feel safer….. does not sound good…. Guide should be there to help ensure you don’t miss anything not feel safer or been safe….. but then with a crime index of 83.9 - very high, might not be the best place to visit
I hear what you’re saying but I guess it’s a personal thing then cos I feel safer when I’m with a guide in any city. You know they’re familiar with any spots tourists may be targeted with scams and steer you clear of anything that could result in you having a less than wonderful time. That local knowledge and insight is what you pay for 😊🙌🏻
Two days is nothing. You need at least a week to even touch on the best bits
Wish we had longer!! What are some of your other must-do recommendations? Share so I know for next time 🙏🏼😄
@@travelforphoebe I would recommend getting out of the cbd and staying a few days down on the south peninsula. Kalk Bay is the most amazing little fishing village that just has it's own vibe. Amazing hikes, swimming in tidal pools, bars, shops, restaurants and a harbor all in walking distance in one place. Park car and do it all. Kommetjie, Scarborough and Noordhoek are all down that side too and also amazing. :)
That all sounds fantastic!! Appreciate the tips 😍 I’ll save this for our next visit 🙏🏼
Your name is Ish? Why are you ashamed of your full name bro?
Awesome video. Loved it
Thanks so much for watching :)
