Secure Your Cape Town Accommodation The Easy Way (road trip warrior)
No commentsBy Gen Wright
As the year speeds to a close, 2010 FIFA World Cup fever has soccer fans around the world clamouring to secure Cape Town accommodation, and with good reason - the Mother City, as she is affectionately known to her inhabitants, has recently been voted one of the top tourist destinations in the world and is set to be a major host city for World Cup proceedings. And you have to ask yourself - where else would you be able to abseil down a cliff, take a helicopter trip to the Winelands for lunch and to sample wines from historical estates, venture into the deep to come fin to face with one of the ocean’s most fierce predators, take part in a Cape Town hot air balloon flight that affords you 720 degree views of our magnificent countryside; and still be back in time for dinner?
Once merely a stopover on the East Indian spice route, Cape Town today is a bustling metropolis that draws visitors from around the globe who venture here to experience the very best the African continent has to offer in terms of tourist attractions. The city is supplied with a robust infrastructure that serves to accommodate discerning travellers in the manner to which they are accustomed, all the while retaining its unique South African flavour and dishing it up with aplomb. A visit to this delightful location is more than just an amusing outing; it is an experience that will make you see Africa in a different light all together.
However, holidays- and even planning can be extremely complicated, especially if you are doing so remotely. Visitors from abroad often find the sheer wealth of online information pertaining to Cape Town accommodation, -events, -attractions and -travelling options overwhelming; which is where Book Cape Town steps in. The brainchild of ROI Media, a trusted name in the online media sector, Book Cape Town comprises a comprehensive travelling portal of Cape Town hotels, transport and activities that has smoothed the way for visitors to South Africa since 2007. Here you will find literally hundreds of listings for all manner of service providers in and around our fair city. With such a varied landscape, the Mother City has the unique distinction of offering visitors leisure activities on land, in water and in the sky - count in our hot air balloon trips and you’ll see that we endeavour to pay homage to all four of the elements.
We also realise that while you are here you will need to get around; which is why we have compiled a database of reputable transportation providers that will get you from point A to B with as little, or as much, fanfare as you prefer. Keen to hire a limo for your night out on the town? No problem. Interested in zipping along in a side-cart with the ocean breeze fluttering in your hair? Sure, we’ll sort that out in two ticks. Simply looking for a sturdy little car to cart you to and from places of interest around Cape Town? Budget car hire it is.
