West Coast

Around the Area
Kagga Kamma Private Nature Reserve

The geology in the area is breathtaking as well, providing spectacular scenery. There’s also a variety of wildlife in the reserve, such as zebra, eland, gemsbok, kudu, wildebeest and the rare bontebok.
Getting Around
One of the best ways to explore the city is with an RV. This gives you unrivaled privacy, and the freedom to explore Cape Town’s surrounding areas at your own pace.
Public transport is adequate, but with so much to see and experience, it’s far better to rent an RV in Cape Town and explore.
Length of Stay
A one week stay in Cape Town is enough time to make the most of your stay in the city. Be sure to plan your travel itinerary well so that you don’t miss out on any of the attractions or events available in the Mother City. RV camper rental in Cape Town will enable you to travel further if you wish so it might be a better option to stay for two weeks minimum.
What to Pack
The summers are generally hot and pleasant, so be sure to pack sunscreen, light clothing and comfortable shoes.
Cape Town’s winters are generally more wet, cold and windier than most parts of South Africa, so be sure to pack in warmer, waterproof clothing items.
