  • Cape Town is one of the priciest cities in South Africa, but compared to many big cities in Europe and US — it offers incredible value for money. 💰🍷🍽️

You get world-class food, unforgettable adventures, and stunning nature… often for a fraction of what it would cost back home. 

That said, affordability is totally subjective — what feels cheap to one family might feel pricey to another. So I’ve shared these approximate prices above for you to judge for yourself.

What do you think? Is it cheaper than you pay at home?

  • We’ve been in Cape Town for four months now… and honestly, this has become my favorite city in the world!

We visited before having kids, but we didn’t expect it to be this perfect for families who love adventure.

Between schoolwork, beach days, and trying to keep up with life, we’ve managed to squeeze in some pretty unforgettable experiences. Here’s what’s made our Cape Town family bucket list:

⛰️Abseiling off Table Mountain – My daughter said it was one of the coolest things she’s done! 

🏄‍♂️ Surfing in Muizenberg – tiny, gentle waves that are perfect for kids learning to surf. Shame it was windy when we went but we'll be back!
 
🌳 Acrobranch Constantia – tree-top obstacle courses, zip lines, wobbly bridges… basically kid heaven. 

🛷 Cool Runnings Tobogganing – Fast enough to thrill the adults, safe enough for kids. 10/10 family activity. 

🦓 Safari weekend – seeing lions, elephants, and giraffes up close never gets old. 

🏕️ Glamping in the Karoo – sleeping under the stars in cozy tents, spotting wildlife, and evening braais.

  • We’ve been in Cape Town for four months now… and honestly, this city has surprised us in the best way.
We knew it would be beautiful, but we didn’t expect it to be this fun, this outdoorsy, or this perfect for families who love adventure as much as we do.

Between schoolwork, beach days, and trying to keep up with life, we’ve managed to squeeze in some pretty unforgettable experiences — the kind our daughter still talks about at bedtime. Here’s what’s made our Cape Town family bucket list (and what we’ve loved the most):

⛰️Abseiling off Table Mountain –  My daughter said it was one of the coolest things she’s done! A mix of fear, excitement, and the kind of confidence boost you only get when you step out of your comfort zone. 

🏄‍♂️ Surfing in Muizenberg – tiny, gentle waves that are perfect for kids learning to surf. Watching our daughter stand up on her board for the first time was a core memory.
 
🌳 Acrobranch Constantia – tree-top obstacle courses, zip lines, wobbly bridges… basically kid heaven. And honestly, just as fun for adults. 

🛷 Cool Runnings Tobogganing – we’ve gone more times than I want to admit. Fast enough to thrill the adults, safe enough for kids. 10/10 family activity. 

🦓 Safari weekend – seeing lions, elephants, and giraffes up close never gets old. It’s one of those “school days” that turns into a lifelong memory. 

🏕️ Glamping in the Karoo – sleeping under the stars in cozy tents, spotting wildlife, and swapping stories around a campfire.

  • ✈️ I’ve been deep in planning our own 2026 travels, and it reminded me of something I see every single year…

Most people wait until January to start booking their trips.

And by then? Prices jump because everyone is suddenly searching at the same time. 📈

But right now — this week — there are actually so many quiet little Travel Tuesday deals floating around. I spent the morning going through all the airline promos and pulled together the ones that are genuinely worth it.

If you want them, just comment DEALS and I’ll send over the list I put together.

Now that I’m a travel advisor for @foratravel, I can actually book hotels for you with perks like credits, upgrades, and special deals. Get in touch if you’d like any help! 🌍✨

  • Week 4 in Cape Town was a full one — classes, work and activities — but the best part was escaping to the Klein Karoo for a weekend in the wilderness. ✨

We drove just three hours from the city for a glamping weekend in the Elements tent at @huizen.living, surrounded by dramatic reddish cliffs and clear blue skies. 🏕️🏜️🌵

We woke up to baboons right outside our tent, antelopes drinking at the waterhole, and dassies everywhere. Days were for hikes, dips in the hot tub and playing Jenga, nights were for stargazing (with shooting stars!). 🌌🔭✨

Exactly the reset we needed after a busy week — and a reminder of how close wilderness is to Cape Town.

Here’s what’s made our Cape Town family bucket list (and what we’ve loved the most): ⛰️Abseiling off Table Mountain – My daughter said it was one of the coolest things she’s done! A mix of fear, excitement, and the kind of confidence boost you only get when you step out of your comfort zone. 🏄‍♂️ Surfing in Muizenberg – tiny, gentle waves that are perfect for kids learning to surf. Watching our daughter stand up on her board for the first time was a core memory. 🌳 Acrobranch Constantia – tree-top obstacle courses, zip lines, wobbly bridges… basically kid heaven. And honestly, just as fun for adults. 🛷 Cool Runnings Tobogganing – we’ve gone more times than I want to admit. Fast enough to thrill the adults, safe enough for kids. 10/10 family activity. 🦓 Safari weekend – seeing lions, elephants, and giraffes up close never gets old. It’s one of those “school days” that turns into a lifelong memory. 🏕️ Glamping in the Karoo – sleeping under the stars in cozy tents, spotting wildlife, and swapping stories around a campfire. 👋 Hi!

✈️ I’ve been deep in planning our own 2026 travels, and it reminded me of something I see every single year… Most people wait until January to start booking their trips.
 And by then? Prices jump because everyone is suddenly searching at the same time. 📈 But right now — this week — there are actually so many quiet little Travel Tuesday deals floating around. I spent the morning going through all the airline promos and pulled together the ones that are genuinely worth it. If you want them, just comment DEALS and I’ll send over the list I put together. Now that I’m a travel advisor for @foratravel, I can actually book hotels for you with perks like credits, upgrades, and special deals. Get in touch if you’d like any help! 🌍✨ 👋 Hi!

Week 4 in Cape Town was a full one — classes, work and activities — but the best part was escaping to the Klein Karoo for a weekend in the wilderness. ✨ We drove just three hours from the city for a glamping weekend in the Elements tent at @huizen.living, surrounded by dramatic reddish cliffs and clear blue skies. 🏕️🏜️🌵 We woke up to baboons right outside our tent, antelopes drinking at the waterhole, and dassies everywhere. Days were for hikes, dips in the hot tub and playing Jenga, nights were for stargazing (with shooting stars!). 🌌🔭✨ Exactly the reset we needed after a busy week — and a reminder of how close wilderness is to Cape Town. 👋 Hi!
