    I would add a safety tip from personal experience - I found that there are quite a lot of people who persistently beg and follow you down the street if you are walking alone. If it happens, just ignore them and most of them are harmless, but don't turn down a street that's a bit quiet and offer any easy opportunities. It happened to me in Cape Town. They started bothering me as I exited the supermarket (Spar in Cape Quarter for those who are familiar) and then I ignored and went one block down the street and they followed me. Suddenly the street was very quiet and they took the opportunity to try and rob the contents of my backpack. Luckily a minibus taxi just happened to drive by and the driver very kindly helped scare him away. I don't mean to scaremonger, because despite this, it's still one of my favourite cities in the world. Also, based on the reaction I got from locals when I told them my experience, they admitted that these things can happen but they said it was quite uncommon.

    I have been to Cape Town three times now I’m from the UK and simply love everything in CT.
    And you are completely correct don’t go to Bo Kaap on your own as I’m a solo traveller I went nearly got robbed by four guys but luckily
    I was passing a hotel went into that then the four guys disappeared so solo travellers stay vigilant
    That has not put me off as I’m coming over in December for three months.

    I am from Cape Town - be aware that this video was made 40 years ago in 1980 - you will not find it the same any more. However, the places and people are still very much the same - just not the society. Cape Town is one of the most beautiful and interesting places to visit. Just do not go where you should not go. Stay safe - ask the locals. Enjoy!!!

    Small correction. Bobotie is a Cape Malay dish, also part of traditional Afrikaans cuisine. Seldom see it outside the Western Cape. So not our national dish. Problem is that every culture in the country has its own favourite dish. But what is the common popular dish is barbecued meat and some sort of starch, primarily maize meal. Various names such as braai en pap, shisanyama, etc.

      Prepare yourselves for lots of wind in December. I recommend moving your departure to mid-February to April that's the best time for a visit to Cape Town (I lived in CT for 40 years)

    Please also note that Capetonians are used to celebrities, so please do not embarrass natives of Cape Town when you encounter Hollywood stars or business moguls in a restaurant or cycling on the Sea Point promenade. Be cool.

      Regarding Cape Point: do not even attempt to go there during the tourist season (December to April). Whichever route you take (from the south or from the north) you'll be stuck in traffic for hours. Visit in the off-season, when it is equally spectacular. Before June, though, because then the rainy season starts!
