    I'm so blessed to be walking these streets everyday... To do shopping at this Centre daily and to walk through the park to get my grandson from school. Our beautiful neighborhood... There's so much more to see... ❤️

      Hi Charlene, thanks for watching and leaving a comment! It is great to hear from the local and it sounds like you really enjoy the area. I'm sure there is a lot more to experience in this suburb but I was really surprised at how green the area was and how the birds live so freely in Kenridge Park. Wish I bought more stuff from the Deli!

    Love the big Toblerone and duck traffic sign! Looks like a great area to live in the big city. It is very noticeable how much more safety and security conscious the residents are here compared to the Karoo towns.

      I think the price and the limited space in my backpack put me off buying that Toblerone, but it was massive! The cities are much more focused on safety with several properties having electric fences and security alarms etc. Loved the birds living so freely in Kenridge Park too. Thanks for watching!

    We drive on the same side of the road in New Zealand. Rubbish is also collected each week in NZ too there they are paper sacks rather than bins. The green of your grass is also a first impression of NZ too, as one drives between the cities; the farm land paddocks with cows or sheep or both. Oh and by the way I am wearing my All Black jersey, for tomorrows game between our two countries. Going to be a great contest. Kiwi in Virginia. PS: Kenridge is a beautiful place thank you.

      Big game indeed tomorrow, Swanoaks! For us South Africans, playing New Zealand is always the ultimate test and I'm sure it will be a great final. Sounds like there are many similarities between the neighbourhoods in Cape Town and in New Zealand, which is interesting to know. Really appreciate all your support for and contributions to my channel!

Similar to what you showed in your video. Kiwi . . . I think the World of rugby is going to be in for superb rugby tomorrow. The two best teams in the world going head to head.

    I thought that was a yorkshire pudding you were holding in the thumbnail😂. I do like Kenridge, the green open spaces and the sense of community is very appealing. Love the dog park! It must have been strange being back in amongst noise and bustle after the peacefulness of the Karoo.

    • @willieexplore
      @willieexplore  Рік тому +1

      Haha Sheila I can totally see now that it might look like a Yorkshire pudding without the gravy :) Certainly a very nice area to live and I'd encourage more Capetonians in particular to explore this hidden gem in the city. The dog park is probably my favourite bit but I also enjoyed roaming amongst the guinea fowls and other birds. Fantastic that they can roam so freely.

    I used to collect vehicles from and deliver to the Subaru dealer in Kenridge when I worked for an auto body repair shop. I haven't been to the area since I left that job, but it's likely that the dealership is no longer there as it's common practice for dealerships to change location after a few years.
    Driving through that area, I always dreamt of some day moving there. That dream is still alive.
    Thank you for this walk through tour of Kenridge.

      Security is definitely tighter in the cities, as one would expect anywhere. But I've never felt unsafe in this part of Cape Town, in fact it is one of the safest neighbourhoods I've ever been in.

    • @cvpatterson8

      Because the people living there are in the upper income living bracket they are very prone to home invasions and burglaries. My daughter used to live in Kenridge and I worried about her and my grandchildren's safety every day.

      No you are incorrect. After 1994 the various cities created the metropolitan city of cape town. So Bellville is part of cape town. So too is places like Atlantis, durbanville and somerset west.
