🇿🇦 Cape Town | The Super Fun Former Capital of South Africa – Mounta

Cape Town is stunningly different from other African countries—like an African version of Sydney, with seas, mountains, and amazing wine. By day, it’s a fairy tale; by night, it transforms into Gotham. Tested solo: walking downtown in daylight is fine, but head back to your hotel after sunset. 💗 Must-Do Experiences: ✅ Table Mountain / Lion’s Head: Hike up, cable car down—iconic Cape Town views! ✅ City Walk: Explore historic buildings in the city center. ✅ Seals / Bays / Penguins / Cape of Good Hope: Peninsula day trip. ✅ Ocean & City Views: Bus ride from Waterfront to Hout Bay + sunset at Maiden’s Cove. ✅ Wine Tasting: Day tour to famous vineyards (Stellenbosch, Franschhoek, Paarl). ✅ Whale Watching: Boat trip to Hermanus (June-Nov). 🚗 Transport 1️⃣ Namibia → Cape Town by Bus Intercape direct bus: 810 NAD (¥310), 15h—smooth roads, comfy ride. 2️⃣ Getting Around the City 👉 Public Transit (MyCiTi Bus) Get a MyCiTi card (R40/¥16, min top-up R20). Routes 106/107 & 108/109 = best coastal views! (R10.5/¥4.2 per ride). Covers Waterfront, Hout Bay, Table Mountain, Camps Bay—cheaper than tourist buses. 👉 Out-of-Town? Join a Tour! Wine estates, penguins at Simon’s Town, Chapman’s Peak & Cape Point—best done by guided tour if solo. 🏡 Where to Stay 👉 91 Loop Hostel (CBD) Near major sights, 700m from bus/train stations. Private room: R500 (¥200), no breakfast—but free coffee/tea at the café! 🥘 Food & Drinks 📍 Hudsons - The Burger Joint Must-try burgers! R200 (¥80) for burger + beer. Bacon Jam Burger = sweet & savory, or go classic for saltier flavors. 📍 Empire Asian Restaurant Seafood fried noodles (R173/¥69)—wok hei perfection with thin Fujian-style vermicelli. Owner does currency exchange (rate: 2.4 vs. real 2.5), but card/ATM is better. 📍 Sushi Box Salmon crispy roll (R149/¥60 for 10pcs)—great if you love fancy American-style sushi. Iced tea too sweet (R39/¥16), better to just order beer. 📍 Yen’s Vietnamese Street Food Pho (R110/¥44) decent but noodles too firm, broth slightly sweet. Not super authentic. #CapeTown #SouthAfrica #TravelGuide #Wanderlust #SoloTravel
