30 Things to do in Cape Town, South Africa Travel Guide Video Transcript:
Today we’re taking you around one of our favourite cities: Cape Town, South Africa.
We first visited Cape Town in 2015 as the final stop on a monthlong trip across South Africa. However, by the time we arrived, we only had a couple of days to spare and the weather was less than ideal, so we didn’t get to see very much.
We knew we had to return to do the city justice and also film a proper Cape Town travel guide for you guys. This time around, we gave ourselves a full week to spare.
Our days were packed with sightseeing, and with visits to restaurants, chocolate shops, wineries and gin distilleries, so without further delay, let us show you 30 things do in Cape Town, South Africa.
And that’s a wrap for our week in Cape Town, South Africa. We hope you enjoyed following along and that this guide gave you a few ideas of things to see, do and eat in Cape Town. As always, if you have any other suggestions for fellow travellers, feel free to share those in the comments below. In the meantime, wishing you happy travels and see you next time!
This is part of our Travel in South Africa video series showcasing South African food, South African culture and South African cuisine.

Breakfast in South Africa at Company's Garden Restaurant in Cape Town travel food video transcript:
Well good morning from Cape Town. We are up bright and early for breakfast and we decided let's go out for breakfast today instead of eating at the AirBNB. We're staying right across from The Company's Garden and we were walking through the other day and we saw that they have a nice little coffee shop slash restaurant slash teahouse. They open at six in the morning so we figured let's eat there today.
Well, first things first. Tea because it is freezing cold outside. It is mid-autumn. Mid autumn I think right?
Yeah, anyways it so chilly in the morning. Technically it is late May here but this would be their late Autumn maybe early starting into winter.
I can see my breath in the air this morning. Well, the thing is the temperature by like say late morning or mid-afternoon is hot.
Like it is in the mid 20s. Oh. But in the morning it is cold. In the morning tea is good.
Oh, and I'm having Rooibos. Look at that. A beautiful cup of red tea. That really is beautiful. And you know what?
I just drink my tea plain. They've brought me a lovely tray with milk and I don't need it.
And I have to say Rooibos is on my Dad's favorite teas. Mmmhmm.
I think he discovered it maybe like maybe 5 to 10 years ago. Something like that and we always have Rooibos tea. Always. Now in the house. Always. Whenever I go home it is like one of the teas that is available.
And look. A little cookie. This looks like the rusks. The hard bread that they sell here. Mmm.
It is kind of like a biscotti. I think that is the closest thing I can compare it to. But yeah, this is really nice. So I'm just going to dip it in my tea. Because that is how we roll here.
Actually it is a cappuccino art. I got a cappuccino. Cappuccino.
No Koeksisters today.
That is a traditional pastry slash dessert type. Yeah, but we just asked for another recommendation and we're getting a Milk Tart.
This is the full English or the complete breakfast or whatever you want to call it here.
Well, give us the tour then. This thing is massive. Like this plate. Look at this. It is more like a platter.
It is a platter. It is a double hand platter. Double hand platter. Oh man.
So over here we've got what appears to be some fried mushrooms. I love mushrooms We have a hashbrown. We have a grilled tomato, we have toast. We have bacon and that will please any Canadian guy.
And over here we have like a thin. A long thin sausage and then we have two eggs well done. because nothing grosses me out more than runny eggs.
Okay, so for my breakfast I ordered eggs benedict with salmon.
But because I'm sharing with Sam I would normally order my eggs runny but he was like no please. We compromised. We compromised with medium.
I get to try Sam's breakfast. Yeah, and something I you know would be cool to find out is if you lived or stayed in South Africa for a while, or you're from here, what is something you would typically have for breakfast?
Because you know we're this is what we're eating today but it would be great to find out what are some other different types of foods.
Alright, so it is that time again. Time for price point. So that was 305 Rand which was $22 US dollars and that included 3 drinks, 2 massive mains, a dessert. So full, satisfied and now we're going to go relax and play some chess.

Tshipise a Forever Resort - Photos of Africa
“Tshipise” means “something warm”, and the famous Tshipise koppie towers protectively over the Resort. Giant baobabs dot the landscape and the Resort’s self-catering rondavels and comfortable caravan park are barely visible among the Mopani, red bushwillow and jakkalsbessie trees.

The Karoo of South Africa
This video is about the Karoo of South Africa. The Karoo is a vast semi-arid region of central and southern South Africa, roughly twice the size of France. It covers 45% of South Africa itself and was traditionally exploited by low-intensity sheep farming. Today, expansive game reserves are returning some of the land to its pre-European condition and stocking it with indigenous wildlife. The Karoo is a tough landscape with hardy rural communities pitted against the harsh conditions of the near-desert environment. The geology of the Karoo is famous for its expansive, flat-lying outcrops of Permian and Early Triassic sediments. These rocks are host to some of the world's best fossil reptiles representing the early evolution of land animals.
