Staying Safe – Cape Town’s generally safe, but stay smart—stick to well-lit areas, watch your stuff and use trusted taxis. Tourist police are super helpful if needed!

What to Pack – Pack light layers for warm days and cooler nights. Comfy shoes are a must for hiking and don’t forget your camera—this city is ridiculously photogenic!
