6.    Your recommendations or must do for other travellers?

Eat your way through Cape Town - so yum! My top tip is you must pre-book restaurants though to ensure you get a table.

When you’re heading to Cape Town, fly directly with Qantas. It's faster, and even though Singapore Airlines was very comfortable, the journey was too long!
