I appreciate it.
I'm from Durban, I cannot walk around the CBD during the day. First time I went to Cape Town I genuinely thought I had left South Africa by mistake. The fact I could walk around alone and be completely safe made me almost cry. Cape Town is what my country should have been.
funny thing it is run by the DA
@@contro6893 I wish these idiots would stop voting for the ANC.
For which tourist agency you working for?
Or Rather who paid you what for writing Such Rubbish.

🤣🤣🤣
That's what you think.

@@realdluvchrist5447 cant you people see the damage that the ANC is doing
Oh my goodness as a South African I’m so shocked by you walking around the country with a camera in hand and it hasn’t been snatched yet !!!!😂😂 I guess our country isn’t that messed up, enjoy SA Sly.
Crime is everywhere in the world, not South Africa only.
Ye, I won’t try that in Johannesburg or Pretoria cbd.
Cape town CBD is safe all the time
Yall like being extra Crime is everywhere in not just in SA
dont try this in san fransico, paris, new york, carlifornia or london
Hey Sly, not sure if you still here or left already but if you plan on sticking around this coming week, hit me up. I’ll be more than happy to take you around and show all of Cape Town to you.
Take him to Mannenburg

Im moving to Cape Town in May
I lived in Cape Town for 2yrs '08-'10 and it was one of the best and most incredible experiences of my life even with getting robbed lol..l would love to go back, l miss it very much.
I use to stay in Cape Town about 5 years ago, I also use to walk at night, go shopping at 10pm or to the garage to grab some smacks at 2 am. It is relatively safe in the CBD and city bowl compared to Johannesburg and Pretoria. I recently moved from Pretoria to Johannesburg.
I was born and brought up in Durban until the age of 45, and am 67 years old now . I moved to Cape Town in 2000 and never looked back. I visit Durban often but will not want to live there again. Cape Town is something else altogether, Joburg, Pretoria and Durban cannot compare. I have worked in Hammanskraal for a while and I know Joburg and Pretoria.
Our rich friends
How do you all make it to be at that level ? Secret code please
Like wow wow changing from hig cities to big cities
@@lilcrocgucci7222 Secret Code: Jesus Christ. 😆 ❤
@@nelsonchinasamy9857 no ways is cape town better than Pretoria🤞
Or in Amercia
Lived here all my life. Your safety all depends upon where you walk (obviously). The bar / club / restaurant areas, safer - but watch out for your usual pick pockets, etc.
The quieter areas, particularly side streets and areas that are usually used for day-time trading, commuting, etc. - those areas are more risky as you will stand out like a sore thumb.
To be honest though, there probably aren’t any reasons why foreign tourists (especially) would actually need to be in those areas at night.
I’d happily walk around any part of the Cape Town city Centre during the day though, and I do quite a lot. Some areas you have to keep your eyes open more than others, but the Cape Town CBD is probably the safest CBD out of all of the major city centers in SA.
I was there in Cape Town few months ago, people were friendly, concerned about safety, I felt better than New York.
Mr. Sly, Thanks you so much for this remarkable video about Cape Town, South Africa this Month of October of 2022!
Before leaving the Southern region do checkout Namibia and botswana
So so annoying when people can only talk about crime. This video is about showcasing places around the world. It will be better if they rather suggest places for him to visit instead of referring to crime. Don't comment if you can only talk about crime
Excellent video!! Every major city in South Africa looks like New Orleans, Houston, Dallas, Atlanta, and Phoenix all in a bowl the whole South... Period
The CBD areas look like a developed country but right outside all these cities are slums that look like nowhere in America. But the developed CBD parts look much more European. Some areas have developed American style suburbs too like durbanville
@@parik2878 the township areas in places outside of Johannesburg lifestyle is no different than section 8 in black America the township is divided into phases 1 2 3 4 and so on for example it can be someone thats your neighbor living in a shed house and just across the street fully brick houses with middle class blacks. I moved from Mississippi to joburg and my first flat was in a township a year ago and now fully understand things here is not so different its just the picture
@@parik2878 who said so? I'm South African based in the US and the projects and section 8 areas are no different than townships in SA. Might be a different architectural environment but otherwise it still gives off the same feel.
@@SoUThCReATiOn u properly the only outsider that knows SA like that u deep in the trenches🤣🔥

I haven't seen home in 2 years ,and wont for years more ,thank you man
Hi thank you for bring back some good memories from Long street . on old years eve you could hardly get near the place as it was rocking back in my day , i taking 20 years ago but it was rocking . some good spots in Sea point road . beaches are great as well camps bay is great . enjoy sCape toen . now live in Gauteng and missing Cape Town a lot
Thank you for your videos! I visited Cape Town in August and I loved it. I didn’t do much but I enjoyed the vibe in South Africa. I miss being there so much. Thank you!
I’m trying to go there next year
Where you from?
@@ntsikadzingwe5764 Houston, Texas
Great camera quality. Shows the city like it really is.
Love your videos man, makes me feel like a like a tourist in my own city!
You are right. I have the same felling👍
@Jethro If you white you are a tourist
Lived there for more than 10 years...this video brings back memories...I live in the Netherlands
i used to live downtown on lower long street, what a nice part of the city!
Thank you for showing the beauty and cultural diversity of our country to the rest of the world. And unlike what politicians and MSM say we all do blend in perfectly. We are truly the Rainbow Nation.
Hey..rainbows have more than one color..and colors don't harm you..
Ah, I got so many memories in CPT. Awesome vid!
ahh memories :) 💖 thank you for filming this
That was very much like the USA. Thanks
The U-Turn was the first mistake - the vibe was literally 1 block away. Moveable feast, YT & PNG, Van Hunks. Long street is not what it used to be (around 2010-12 it was relatively safe and had great clubs), now it’s a hotspot for getting harassed and pick pocketed. Bree street is 2 streets up parallel from Long, and has the best night life. Great videos, subscribed!
If you come back for December & January, hit me up! 🤙
Yaaaaay. Another exciting video!!
We create new ideas for South Africa and your content helps us make new discoveries. The new world encourages you to create more great content. We support your channel.
That was super frustrating that those people told you to turn around - there are quite a few spots further up if you had continued eg Asoka, Yours Truly, Van Hunks, The Wolf House, Black Sheep, The Dark Horse, The Public House etc
So True they wrong.Tygers Milk across where u turned.Oops.Thats our Rugby Spot.
They weren't wrong, He wanted to go where the buzz was and Long street is the buzz. Kloof is more chilled compared to Long.
@@RedLorryYellowLorry_ just my opinion on a bit of a side note…Long is a sorry excuse for a buzz, in fact it’s an absolute sh1thole in comparison to its former glory days back in 97/98/99 all the way to 2001. A bit of useless trivia for anyone not familiar with this piece of history…even then, Loop street never came close to Loop street that was the happening spot a few years earlier (ie there was virtually no night scene on Long street as everything was happening in Loop Street and Waterkant) eg Comic Strip, Gecko Lounge, Club DoMe, Deviate, Playground, Stage, Crow Bar, McSweeneys, Browns, etc
@@Van_Wilder Bru, I grew up in that era too, I know its a shithole compared to its glory days and I live in tamoerskloof so I know exactly what's happening around here. He asked for a good place to party and the nightlife, any Capetonian would point to Long street first, you're just frustrated that he never walked past the places you wanted him to go past. Long Street and Kloof is preference based.
Yes!
Besides all the challenges we are going through we still have a great country #South Africa!!!
What's up bro? Keep it up! Love it!
Love it, can't wait to party there and dance to some Amapiano 🔥🔥🔥🤭🤭
😂😂😂😂😍😍😍
Still enjoying Cape Town ,awesome bro
You should have continued walking up the road. I live in China now, but I lived a 5 minute walk from Kloof street there are a few more bars that are pretty cool if you continued walking up kloof street. It was so nice seeing kloof street and long street, so many new shops. I hope you had a good time in Cape Town.
How is it in china
Cape Town for me best city going great times there
I like mzansi women now because of these videos :)
Thanks for showing me what’s available.
🤡
Surprisingly quiet night, usually Long Street is so packed with pedestrians especially on 1st Thursday every month as in CT thats a celebration night welcoming the new month and weekends cars can't move along it.
cape seems busy and fun at night
I am loving South Africa.
Nice one Sly 💫I hv enjoyed the Video
Love Love Cape Town!!!
Thanks that was so cool 👌
Long street is the big ticket to clubs and pubs.... you should be there at christmas and new year... its amazing and very busy... Cape Town CBD has become alot safer this year but still be careful because there is still plenty that can go wrong.
I love my city. Long street use to be the hub for club hopping but Kloof and Bree has many dope hang out spots.
Very nice video.very intresting. Thanks
Thanks for the information.
Great video. Thanks for sharing. What day of the week was it when you took your walk?
Campsbay Cafe Caprice is lit 🔥
The hostel where I stayed in Cape Town was just a little bit further up on Kloof lol! Like everybody else in the comments, I wish that couple hadn't steered you around. It' was a place right above Yours Truly. Still, it was really nice to see what you did film on that street. Hope to return there in the next couple of years as well as visit more areas in SA.
That couple was cool 😎
Danko King. It was a good walk with you.
What type of camera do you use?
Your videos always has nice video quality.
I just saw the title and was like "😯"
I love your videos about Cape Town, its the only city in SA I want to visit.
I live in Cape Town and I will guarantee you that you will be mesmerized by Cape Town's natural beauty.
Im glad you still have all your equipment😂
Have you strolled around Bo Kaap and have you gone to Against The Grain café for koesisters on a sunday morn?
South Africa are not a jungle. We live in a beautiful land
Damn you so fortunate that you still have a camera.South Africa becomes alive at night
I love Cape Town. Left there back in 2000. Check out Seapoint night life and the Victoria & Alfred waterfront.
Nice vid mate.. moving there in Dec 2022, if you are around, let’s grab a beer!
Nice dude🤘🏽
Heritage Day, 16 December. That was a quiet night, bro. You should go there on a weekend night. Non-stop party, right in the street, outside the clubs & pubs. No need to step into one. I booked myself a regular room at a Backpacker's (Urban Hive), you passed along the way. I'd just sit on the balcony & take in the street vibe. Loop Street is the party strip in the CBD; Kloof Street is more for eateries. You definitely hit the right spots in the city, for a night out!
You're a brave man to walk with a cellphone like that, I got mine pick pocketed in that street 😂
Please, do a video with activities to do in Cape Town during the festive season. Regards >(
There are more upscale restaurants and clubs places further up where you were walking on Kloof Street. No idea why they told you turn around. Long street is 👎🏻
One interesting fact about Cape Town is that it was built by the Dutch, French and Germans who made the hybrid we call Afrikkaners today. Hence you can see the French influence with Wine farms and building that look like New Orleans. The people living in Bo-Kaap(colourful Buildings) are the descendants of the slaves that were taken from Malaysia and other Asian countries hence are called Cape Malays.
Truth is the British are far more responsible for building Cape Town and the rest of SA, than the Dutch.
Despite being a refreshment station for the Dutch East India Company the truth is the colony and its economy only seriously kicked off under British rule from the late 1700s.
Even Johannesburg although being in the so-called Boer republics was catalyzed by "Anglo" economic activity.
It was built by slaves sweating all over
The old buildings are more Victorian British than anything else. Wine estates have a definite French influence and some names too like LA Provance. And it was the slaves who built all these old buildings and worked the farms laying the foundation of modern SA economy.
Technically, the "coloured" created Afrikaans
Let's get one thing straight. South Africa was built at the backs of Black and Coloured people of South Africa. Cape Town as it is was built through exploitation of people of colour. So to just say the Dutch, French and Germans built Cape Town is disrespectful and gives off inferiority complex.
Was in cpt ,club streets in april. This year.
Feel safe when walking 🚶♂️ and police everywhere.
Even at 2am
Nice.!
U should check the night life in Belleville and in Wynberg
Cape Town is the best city in the world!
Nice one, Cape Town is rad. It's the only city in the country that actually has a working council. Notice the people in green and yellow emptying bins at that time of night.
Cool.
you missed some of the best spots on Kloof street when you were told to turn around lol
The dude sussed out the best spots. Dropped that phone back at the hotel, and went partying.
kloofstreet, nice, stayed there for a few weeks
Cool sites to check out while here mannenberg,hannover park ,browns farms and kaya is the most popular sites at knoght lots of night life🤣
Wow it's crazy but it looks like Adelaide, Australia.
Moved to south Africa from America, had to go to cape Town several times. Always enjoyed our stay, except for the immigration office lines. And my son and I felt good walking around at night... Yet alone during the day. Except one time, there wasn't much people around. We stayed in that time at night, but walked around freely during the day even though it was relatively low on normal amounts of people for that part of CT. Table mountain is amazing.
Welcome to Cape town
@@lilianmonk5708 thanks!
Why😂😂😂😂
I dream of staying in America 😭😭😭
goed plek........lekker heiso.....
If you go to Joburg around Melville, next to the bars, it is safe to walk around but if you go to Hilbrow, or Parktown at night, it is not safe at all.
Try walking like that in Johannesburg,Hillbrow, South Africa... Wanna see something
‘Who you talking to?’ 😂😂😂 Only a coloured would be so friendly 👌😂
Please be careful even though you think it's "safe"
Use to live aroubd the kloof street area anf I will say that when walking at night its best to be in areas where lights and lots of people are. And of course exercise caution
You need to go to Long street bro... You're walking in Kloof street... I miss Cape Town... live in the Caribbean Islands now
My guy is brave walking alone at night with a phone in Cape Town
Depending on where in Capetown u walking at night
My cousin moved to Capetown started a hair business called hunnybunhair
Kloof....i miss Cape Town kodwa....Long street was my weekend street!i wanna go back to Cape Town shame 😭😭😭
Top Video. But Be careful when coming to Durban Nite Life.
Safety first
People base our whole country on one province, most of SA is really safe & chilled.
What device was this filmed on ?
🤣🤣
You are extremely brave walking around at night with ur phone out in my town I wouldn even do that
Cape town Cbd is one of the safest places in cape town. I live behind this road and there are 24 hour security guards
you hella brave🤣🤣🤣
I did not see anything out of the ordinary
Go to Coco in Loop street tonight. or Ayepeyep in Kloof street.
That couple made you turn back too soon ,there was plenty plenty super chilled options ahead.
Best of beat
You brave
I use to go to all the clubs in Cape Town in my younger years . Those were the good old days in the eighties and early nineties.
Yep, apartheid was wonderful. Just a swell time all around 😊🤡
@@pelomk9022 look at the state of the Nation under 30 years of ANC leadership. It’s a fucking mess. SAA , ESKOM , Railways, Police, Crime, corruption at its best , filthy , Public service does hardly exist. Economy flat, Monopoly money 💰, industry is a joke and illegals from all around the world. JOBS , Water problems. Yes APARTHEID Was way better. But then again what do I care . I’m one of those that got away long ago . So enjoy your shithole.🤣
Cape Town is safe enough I have to say, I went back in varsity around 10pm for my street photoshoot and I was fine just me and my friend we were abit scared but felt safe afterwards coz people wanted us to take pictures of them lol 😆
The CBD where the night clubs and bars are pretty safe , elsewhere not much so.
I’m amazed by the amount of people that think CPT CBD is unsafe,bro you could literally walk at 1am looking for a place to eat . Strictly in the CBD though.
Ohh I forgot, you can visit Ghana also . Another solid developing country before you leave. With Ghana you will have covered all corners of Africa.
