Flight
This is where you ultimately want to land. Some flights might take you through Johannesburg, but just make sure that Cape Town is your final destination. If you do stop in Johannesburg, make sure you take a few days to go on a safari!
House Or Rental
There are a lot of great and affordable bed and breakfast or Air BnB options. Check out our FAQ page to learn about the areas we recommend.
Rental Car
You can rent from the airport which is only about 15 minutes away from the city center. South Africa drives on the left hand side of the road in left hand drive vehicles - mostly stick shift, but automatic is readily available.
Travel Note
While public transport with My Citi buses are becoming more popular in Cape Town, it is still easiest to get around using a rental car. If you want an easy and informative way to hit all the major sites - the City Sightseeing Bus Tours are a great option! Otherwise Uber is also a popular option.
