    Why am I watching this? I'm from Cape Town 😂. Everything very much on point. December is a vibe on its own in South Africa. Capetonians are the best and most friendly kind. 12 Apostles is especially luxurious. Llandudno and 4th beach is special.

    I would add a safety tip from personal experience - I found that there are quite a lot of people who persistently beg and follow you down the street if you are walking alone. If it happens, just ignore them and most of them are harmless, but don't turn down a street that's a bit quiet and offer any easy opportunities. It happened to me in Cape Town. They started bothering me as I exited the supermarket (Spar in Cape Quarter for those who are familiar) and then I ignored and went one block down the street and they followed me. Suddenly the street was very quiet and they took the opportunity to try and rob the contents of my backpack. Luckily a minibus taxi just happened to drive by and the driver very kindly helped scare him away. I don't mean to scaremonger, because despite this, it's still one of my favourite cities in the world. Also, based on the reaction I got from locals when I told them my experience, they admitted that these things can happen but they said it was quite uncommon.

    And you are completely correct don’t go to Bo Kaap on your own as I’m a solo traveller I went nearly got robbed by four guys but luckily
    I was passing a hotel went into that then the four guys disappeared so solo travellers stay vigilant
    That has not put me off as I’m coming over in December for three months.

    Small correction. Bobotie is a Cape Malay dish, also part of traditional Afrikaans cuisine. Seldom see it outside the Western Cape. So not our national dish. Problem is that every culture in the country has its own favourite dish. But what is the common popular dish is barbecued meat and some sort of starch, primarily maize meal. Various names such as braai en pap, shisanyama, etc.
