Cape Town City Overview

Known for its amazing beauty and laid back people, Cape Town is many things to many people, but for fun and low cost entertainment it is the coolest place for the younger set. Here the sparkling ocean costs nothing to enjoy, the mountain offers incredible hiking and climbing, and there is a waterfront where people-watching is a national pastime, absorbing, entertaining and coming at the cost of a burger.

Daily Budget
It is possible, with a lot of juggling and high finance to get by on US$10 a day in South Africa, and that includes camping or staying in hostels, and self catering, with meals coming at around US$5-10, and lodging in the region of US$7-25.
