VITALS GETTING THERE Flights out of Europe will generally set you back around €1000, but shop around, especially if out of season. KITE OPTIONS? WHEN IS BEST TO GO? It’s all about the main season in Cape Town if you want to rub shoulders with the pros and have the time of your life. Any time from mid-November through to mid-February and you’ll be in business. The rest of the year? Well that can be epic too. But don’t tell anyone… Cape Town has a massive amount of variety. Bring the lot… €1 TYPICAL DINNER Vegans take note… this is predominantly meat territory. And they cook it well out here. Get yourself to a Braai for the full experience. LATE NIGHT… NO WIND? South Africa pretty much has it all should Mother Nature not play ball… Land: Wine tours, climb Table Mountain, MBK or just hang out in town… Sea: Shark cage diving, seal snorkeling, freediving, surfing or SUP. Air: Skydiving, paragliding, or smash out some airs in the Dirty Habits cable park… BEER WHICH WETSUIT? You’ll need a wetsuit – worth packing a 3/2 and a 4/3. Cape Town is a vibrant spot, and each night you can take your pick of pubs, clubs, comedy, concerts and some amazing food options. Cape Town, South Africa | 41
