South Africa has always been on my travel bucket list, and I’m happy to say it totally lived up to the hype! I had the best time exploring the Garden Route on a road trip and going on incredible safaris.From stunning landscapes to up-close wildlife encounters, every day was an adventure. I can’t wait to share all the highlights and tips to help you plan your own unforgettable South African journey. This is a 10-12 day itinerary.🛣️🚗

This guide to Cape Town is the result of my experience as a traveler in the city and dozens of hours of research. It is designed to be all you will need to plan your trip to Cape Town and save you hours and hours of planning and stress. I have included numerous activities and day trips ranging from natural sites, beaches, museums and historical and cultural sites. I have also included 15+ accomodation and eating out options at different price ranges. Most importantly, I have included information on how to get around, what to do on arrival, currency, travel safety, visa and entry requirements so you don't have to be too bothered by logistics and the more boring aspects of travel planning. Because safety is the most common concern for tourists in Cape Town I've paid special attention to this (If you're wondering if it's safe to travel to Cape Town, the short awnser is yes). I've got you covered! This guide is divided into sections so you can read the entire guide or go to the sections that interest you the most. It also includes an interactive map and it's mobile friendly so you access all the info on your phone when you download the thatch app, and most importantly, this is a living guide so I will update this at no extra cost to you.
