Customs and culture
10%-15% Tip is expected
When going to restaurants, 10%-15% tip is normal. 10% being basic and 15% meaning the service was truly excellent. Tip is also appreciated when ordering takeaway and getting it delivered to your door. (No tip expected at take away restaurants when you fetch the food yourself)
What to pack
Cape Town weather has a mind of it's own!
Always make sure you have a jersey (jumper) packed in, as in the evening, Cape Town can get quite chilly and windy, even in the summer. Make sure you pack comfortable shoes for those days when you are exploring Cape Town's best.
