Top tips for your trip to Cape Town
Cape Town has a relatively dry climate, with the best months from October to April. This is also when it's warmest (but not too hot), making it perfect to rent a motorhome in Cape Town. The peak holiday season is December and January, so bear that when planning your trip, as these can be busy. Winter is from June to August, which can be rainy.
- Driving in Cape Town
Driving a campervan in Cape Town is easier than in some cities, as the roads are straightforward and well-maintained. However, keep an eye on the weather, as Cape Town is known for its strong winds.
- Nature and the outdoors
The city and the surrounding area are full of unique outdoor places waiting to be explored when you hire a campervan in Cape Town. Most people head to Table Mountain, one of the city's most iconic landmarks. If you are feline energetic, you could hike up.
- Family friendly activities
There is plenty to do in Cape Town if you have little ones. The Two Oceans Aquarium is a great choice, with fish from the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. The World of Birds in Hout Bay is also another popular choice. It’s not just birds; there are monkeys and meerkats that always go down well with kids.
Campervan offers for couples in Cape Town
For a romantic trip for two exploring Cape Town and other cities nearby, a smaller motorhome is just right. Discover our selection of vehicles for two people and explore together.
Campervan offers for families in Cape Town
If you want to go on a family camping holiday in Cape Town, we recommend a large motorhome. Alcove models are very popular with families with children, as the motorhomes are spacious and have several sleeping and seating areas.
Best Campervan routes in Cape Town
Cape Town To The Garden Route
One of the most popular drives in Cape Town, the garden route covers 500km and takes you from Cape Town along some of South Africa's amazing coastal scenery. There are plenty of places to call along the way, but we recommend Knysna and Plettenberg Bay to explore the beaches and nature reserves. Another recommended stop is the Tsitsikamma National Park, along the coast. The highlight here is the suspension bridge walks and the unique forests. Overall, this is an excellent route, especially with a campervan hire in Cape Town, offering something for everyone.
Cape Town To Addo Elephant National Park
If you have your campervan for longer than a weekend, heading the 800km to Addo Elephant National Park could be an excellent option. It's home to the most elephants anywhere in the world, and this drive will take you through the Karoo region of South Africa. This area is full of small towns where you can stop and experience real South Africa. Once you arrive at the park, you can join a safari and see how many different types of animals you can see with a camper van for hire in Cape Town.
Cape Town to Cederberg Mountains
This is a 250km drive along the N7 to the Cederberg Mountains. This area is known for its hiking trails, and the drive to get there is stunning. Along the way, we recommend stopping at Clanwilliam (one of the oldest towns in South Africa), which is famous for its Rooibos Tea.
Sites of interest and excursions in Cape Town
Cape Winelands
South Africa is known for its fantastic wine. Just 50km outside Cape Town is Cape Winelands, an area known for producing great wine. Stellenbosch and Franschhoek are two of the best vineyards to visit. You can participate in wine tastings and even have a gourmet meal with them. Many wine estates have campervan-friendly parking, meaning you can enjoy a few wines without worrying about driving afterward with a motorhome for hire in Cape Town.
Cape Point
Just an hour outside of Cape Town is Cape Point. This is part of the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve and offers great views of where the Atlantic and Indian Oceans meet. From here, you could hike up to the old lighthouse (an excellent place for an Instagram picture), enjoy the cliffside drives, and see what wildlife you can spot. It's a nice day out from the city, and it's such a short drive.
West Coast National Park
Just 90km outside Cape Town, West Coast National Park is a great place for a short drive for those who love nature. It’s the perfect day trip. If you can visit between August and September (Spring), you will see all the wildflowers at their best. After that, you could go on one of the hikes or relax at Langebaan Lagoon.
A few toll roads exist in and around Cape Town, particularly on the N1 and N2 highways. Carry cash or a check if your rental vehicle includes a toll pass system.
Travelling by campervan in Cape Town can be safe if you take common-sense precautions. Stick to well-known routes, avoid driving at night in unfamiliar areas, and use secure campsites and parking areas. As with any destination, awareness of your surroundings is key to a safe and enjoyable experience.
Yes, booking campsites in advance is highly recommended, especially during peak seasons like summer (December to February) and over holiday weekends. Popular destinations such as the Garden Route, Cederberg, and Cape Winelands tend to fill up quickly.
