You’ve travelled this far — the Cape doesn’t do small. Penguins, mountains, vineyards, and the southern tip of Africa, all within an easy day’s reach of the wedding.
Driving is on the left, roads are good, and most of the best places are a 30–60 min drive apart. Avis, Europcar, Hertz and Bidvest all operate from CPT airport.
September is whale season and early spring — popular things like the Wine Tram, Robben Island and Babylonstoren’s restaurants need booking weeks ahead.
Cape spring: warm sunny days (20–24°C), cool evenings (10–12°C), occasional wind on the coast. A light jacket and sunscreen cover most days.
