Travel Note

Uber

Uber is one of the best ways to get around Cape Town. The distances between most of the top attractions are short, making it a cost-effective option for your trip. You can also request a ride from Cape Town International Airport by using the free WiFi.

Travel Note

Credit Cards and Banks

The majority of retailers and restaurants accept Visa and Mastercard as payment. AMEX is rarely accepted. The currency in South Africa is called a Rand. The exchange rate typically ranges from 17-20 Rand to 1 US Dollar.

Charging Devices

Most plugs in South Africa are 2-prong or 3-prong in type C, D, M, and N. I recommend buying a universal adapter (make sure it has surge protection) and using a converter for hairdryers and hot tools.

Travel Note

Safety

Cape Town is one of the safer cities in South Africa, but there are still some petty crimes. Be sure to lock up your valuables and keep important belongings on your person. Do not leave valuables visible in your car, place them in the trunk or glove box if you plan to leave them in the car. Do not leave your purse, phone, or wallet on the table at any restaurant while dining outside.

Travel Note

Climate

Humidity is quite low in Cape Town, so while the summers are hot, they aren’t too muggy. March is considered fall in South Africa and the weather will still be warm enough to visit the beach. Pack your swimsuits and shorts / sundresses for long days in the sun!
