Sea Point, De Waterkant or Greenpoint is a nice safe bet.
Bo Kaap has a more cultural and historical legacy.
Camps bay is close to the best beaches.
Bloubergstrand is further away but has the best Kite Surfing.
Muizenberg is towards the south and is very vibey with its own laid back surfer culture.
Noordhoek and Fish Hook are other side of the mountain and hard to get to but very scenic and natural.
Hout Bay is an honourable mention.

Any tips on colivings or places to stay? I've been disappointed by Airbnb too many times already :(

Hey nomads, would you reccomend to go on the garden route if I am only for 2 days staying in cape town?

beyers 3mo

If your total stay is only two days then it is not worth going to the garden route. Rather just explore Cape Town and Table Mountain.

Dissapointed how?

There is so much more to do in cape town and surrounds. A trip to the Garden Route would mean you spend most of your time in the car. And it would take 2 days realisticly.

Check out Neighbourgood or Cape Coliving!

What are the best safari’s next to cape town for 1 day drive? 🦁Aquila? Buffelsfontein? Inverdoorn?

ciaranoglesby 2mo

My fav is Addo National Park but it's a 8-9 hour drive from CT.

beyers 2mo

Yes, Addo is great and totally worth it.
The drive to it is very scenic and you get to see how the landscape changes.
Plus you can take a different route back to get a new experience.

The general feeling is that you should go for a proper safari experience rather than a watered down version close to CT

Hi,

If anyone is here, I'd love to do a group hike to Kloof corner and Nek to Kirstenbosch. 🙂

Hey!

I’m planning to try out the digital nomad lifestyle in Cape Town and would love to stay there for a month in April. I’m looking to connect with other digital nomads while I’m there. Ideally, I’d love to find a place with a community vibe — maybe a co-living or co-working space with like-minded people. I would be happy for any recommendation :))

You might be interested in Neighbourgood. They have a few locations

Hi,
Quick question: which telco provider have you had a good experience with?

Is anyone using an eSIM with unlimited data for work? If so, would you recommend it? Did you get your SIM card at the airport, or somewhere else? I’ll need unlimited data for work (and safety reasons), as I’d prefer not to rely too much on Wi-Fi. I’d really appreciate if you could share your experience. 🙏

Local or eSIM

My eSIM was automatically connecting me to 3G so I manually changed it to Vodafone network and I’ve been getting 4G LTE all over SA since. 👍🏻

I got a Vodacom data bundle. 75gb. Was enough for me for a month at 4G speeds.

stevelacey 30d

I bought vodacom 20gb (10gb day/10gb night)... and I recommend just using Nomad or Airalo. I smashed through the 10gb in a week, there was no way to see that, and the app doesn't work for esims, and its all just pain, not worth it

Hey, I will be arriving in Cape Town next weekend (4/4). Any interesting events I should know about?
Or maybe anyone who would like to plan something together - hike, dinner?
