    Top Things to Do in Cape TownTake a Cable Car up Table Mountain

    Table Mountain is the crown jewel of Cape Town. Take the rotating cable car to the summit for panoramic views of the city, ocean, and surrounding mountains. For the adventurous, hike up via the Platteklip Gorge trail. The top is flat, making it easy to explore and a great spot for sunset photos.

    Stroll the V&A Waterfront

    The Victoria & Alfred Waterfront is a vibrant hub for shopping, dining, and entertainment. Set against the backdrop of Table Mountain, it’s home to a giant Ferris wheel, live music, restaurants, and the Two Oceans Aquarium. You can also catch a boat to Robben Island from here.

    Explore the Colourful Streets of Bo-Kaap

    The Bo-Kaap neighborhood is one of the most photographed places in Cape Town, with its brightly painted houses and cobbled streets. It’s also a cultural hub for the Cape Malay community. Visit the Bo-Kaap Museum and join a cooking class to learn how to make traditional dishes like bobotie and samoosas.

    Hike Lion’s Head at Sunrise or Sunset

    If Table Mountain feels like too much of a challenge, Lion’s Head is a rewarding alternative. The spiral trail takes about 1.5 hours to reach the top and offers panoramic views of the city and coastline. Sunrise and sunset hikes are especially popular for their magical light and Instagram-worthy vistas.

    Relax on Camps Bay or Clifton Beach

    Just a short drive from the city centre, Camps Bay and Clifton are upscale beach spots perfect for soaking up the sun. With white sand, turquoise water, and views of the Twelve Apostles mountains, they offer a beautiful setting for a lazy afternoon or sundowners at a beachfront café.

    Visit the Cape Winelands

    Just an hour’s drive from Cape Town, the Cape Winelands are world-renowned for their wine and scenery. Spend a day sipping award-winning vintages in Stellenbosch, Franschhoek, or Paarl. Many estates offer wine and food pairings, cellar tours, and picnic spots among the vineyards.

    Drive Chapman’s Peak

    Chapman’s Peak Drive is one of the world’s most spectacular coastal routes, winding along steep cliffs between Hout Bay and Noordhoek. The road offers incredible ocean views and is a favourite among cyclists and photographers. Stop at lookouts for breathtaking shots, especially at sunset.

    See the Penguins at Boulders Beach

    Just an hour’s drive from Cape Town, Boulders Beach is a family-friendly destination where you can watch endangered African penguins up close. There are boardwalks for viewing and even a designated swimming area where you might find penguins floating alongside you.

    Visit Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens

    Nestled at the foot of Table Mountain, Kirstenbosch is one of the most beautiful botanical gardens in the world. Walk among native fynbos plants, picnic on the lawns, or explore the treetop canopy walkway. Summer evening concerts and art exhibits add to the charm.

    Prelievo dall'aeroporto a Cape Town International Airport

    Programs begin every Monday, and volunteers are required to arrive the day prior, for orientation before the project. Your accommodation on the Sunday is included in the program fees.

    A free airport pickup is included when arriving to Cape Town International Airport (CPT). You must arrive by one of the pickup times; 10:00, 14:00 & 17:00 on Sunday.

    If arriving outside the pickup times on Sunday, you can book a private transfer and any extra nights for an additional fee.

    Alternatively, if arriving early you could wait at the arrival’s terminal for the pickup time, book accommodation at the airport and meet us during the pickup times or make your own way to the project (we will advise on how to do this). 

    From the airport to the accommodation, it takes 30 minutes by road.

    Alloggio

    You will stay in secure volunteer accommodation Strandfontein Village, Cape Town, just a convenient 30-minute drive from Cape Town International Airport. The accommodation has shared single gender rooms of 1-4 people. There are hot showers, safety box, fan, bed linen, and laundry facilities for an extra fee. Shared facilities include a communal bathroom, a fully equipped kitchen, and a cozy dining and lounge area, perfect for relaxed, community-style living. Rooms are lockable, with safety boxes provided for your valuables. An ATM and local supermarket are a 5 min walk from the accommodation, and medical centre is 15 mins drive away.

    For larger groups, we also provide a secure, capsule-style hostel in Muizenberg, located just 15 minutes from Strandfontein Village and around 35 minutes from the airport. This alternative option ensures ample space and comfort for bigger groups, maintaining a safe and welcoming environment for all participants.

    Electricity Information
    Cape Town uses Type M electrical sockets, which have three round pins arranged in a triangular shape. The standard voltage is 230V with a frequency of 50Hz. Household circuits typically support 15 or 16 amps. If you’re bringing electrical devices, be sure to pack a suitable adapter for Type M outlets to ensure safe and proper use during your stay.

Twice a week, a chicken dish will be included in the menu for variety. Additionally, our kitchen facilities are at your disposal if you wish to prepare your meals, or you’re welcome to explore the nearby local restaurants at your own expense for a diverse dining experience.
