Chalk & Cheese Travels
Cape Town is probably one of the trendiest and most European of all the cities in Africa. With dining, bars and shops all very upmarket and in vogue.
Located on the south western coast of Southern Africa right at the bottom of the continent of Africa.
Cape Town has its own international airport service many a locations all over the world.
The currency in Cape Town is the south African Rand
It is also home to some amazing places to visit like Boulders Beach, Table Mountain, Cape Point and Robben Island. All easily accessible and available to book in advance.
Stretching out along the coast this city has stunning cliff front views and an abundance of things to do.
We felt save and secure even well venturing out a bit. Maybe night we would lean towards taxi and prearranged transport. But all in all Cape Town has it all.
Another part of this trip was to Johannesburg, make sure you catch our guide to there or even try out Franschhoek
And finally and most exciting our adventure to the Sabi Sands for safari

Franschhoek Wine District I can safely say this was the most luxurious stop on our African trip so far. The wine district is an unreal experience and even comes with it’s own Franschhoek wine tram tour. Could you possibly ask for anymore. The Franschhoek Area This area of Cape Town was without doubt, the most […]
Cape Town City What a contrast this city was to the week we had already spent in Africa. Cape Town echoed the squares and streets that we have previously encountered in other destinations of European feel. It had the comfort of a city but with a genuine African twist. We had 3 nights in Cape […]
Africa Introduction Our Plan When we started planning this trip, I wasn’t 100% sold on the destination. It was Richard’s suggestion but as always, I was keen to try somewhere new and different. And am I glad I did!! Africa it was If you ask any group of people, there is a good chance you […]
