Flight
Cape Town International Airport
Cape Town International Airport is the optimal choice for booking your flight to South Africa. Our wedding destination is in Cape Town, and this is where we will spend the week leading up to the ceremony.
Travel Note
Accommodation recommendations during the week while we explore the city of Cape Town:
Hotel
Taj Cape Town
While in Cape Town, consider the Taj hotel. Although it's closer to the coast, it will require a considerable commute to Gansbaai for shark cage diving and for the safari tour. Other nearby items on the itinerary include Table Mountain abseiling and hikes, as well as tours to Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned. Roughly $150.00 per night.
Hotel
Pepperclub Hotel
This hotel is located near Taj Cape Town but offers slightly better pricing, roughly $80 per night.
Travel Note
Airbnb is a great option if you don't like hotels. You can find great deals.
