Know
Author: L.Parker
WEATHER
November till April – considered by a majority in
the know to be the excellent weather for summer vacations in Cape
Town. May – September are winter months and
temperature can go as low as below zero (at night). So winter coat, boots,
jourseys are must if you are planning to travel to Cape Town in winter
season.
SECURITY
Security is one of the most important aspects for
everybody. Like anywhere in the world, always be cautious. Don't carry
excessive cash, watch over your handbags. If you drive a car, never pick up
unknown people. Always try to stay in up-market secure areas. If you prefer
self-catering, you will find many lodges and guesthouses, including
specifically kosher or halaal accommodations.
CAPE TOWN: A UNIQUE COMBINATION OF EAST AND
WEST
What makes Cape Town very unique – no need to
travel to many countries, it is enough to come to Cape Town and you will be
able to experince all in one: charming mystery of Middle East, magical exotic
touch of Africa and most-enjoyable comfort of Europe at affordable price.
GOLF COURSES IN CAPE TOWN
Cape Town is a real golfer's paradise. You can play
golf almost in every area of Cape Town and surrounding areas. Cape Town's
stunning golf courses are famous everywhere worldwide. The fees are very
affordable, it is difficult to find anything that can compare with the quality
of Capetonian golf facilities and it's in-expensive charges. Many people will
wonder how local companies can sustain such enormous, beautiful green well
looked-after areas at so low cost? The answer is pretty simple: excellent
weather conditions, sufficient moisture and outstanding infrastructure of golf
membership.

a golf-resort, especially if you prefer an active holiday – golf courses are
widely available and almost everywhere at your door-step. Thus, even if your
choose to stay in the heart of the city, at close proximity to major Cape Town
attractions, you can still enjoy your favourite game at any suitable time for
you.

productive craftsmen. Colorful African partworks can become a most precious
token of respect to your colleagues, skillfully hand-made woodcraft such as
curved chairs, giant set of chess etc. certainly will help you to achieve your
