If it is your first time visiting Cape Town, we understand you want to make the most of this trip! We have arranged a whole week of activities before the wedding with The Travel Cafe, you can see these activities on the Travel tab. If you are looking to do things on your own, JD at The Travel Cafe can help build you a custom itinerary and book different excursions. Although, we did work hard to make the best itinerary for you all to enjoy!

Yes, Cape Town is safe and very different from the rest of South Africa. With lots of tourists, it's absolutely stunning, clean, and has lots of kind people. But, like anywhere you travel to, you should always be aware of yourself and your surroundings, never go anywhere alone, and when taking Uber we recommend going in small groups if possible.

No, no COVID-19 vaccine is required or any type of shot.

The only direct flights are out of Atlanta, D.C., and Newark.

Please refer to the homepage where we summarized what to expect from this wedding week as well as a recommended time frame. This can help you map out your time. But, for a trip this long, we highly recommend you stay at least 2 weeks and make the most out of what South Africa and other bordering countries have to offer!

Yes, we really hope you do! In South Africa, a safari is called a Game Drive. There are many places to experience a proper game reserve and game drives. The Eastern Cape, Western Cape, and Kruger National Park are all ideal places to experience this. Wendy, Jamie, and Richard will be going to a game reserve just after the wedding and are welcoming all guests who are interested in joining to come along. We have blocked the entire Game Reserve for our party, so if enough people come we could have the whole lodge to ourselves. If interested in going where they are, please reach out to Jamie. Otherwise, please reach out to JD and let him know how many days, your budget, and interests and they will help you book your safari experience!

If you want to attend everything planned the week of the wedding, transportation will always be included and a rental car will not be necessary. We will also be providing transportation to the wedding venue and back. If you want to go somewhere on your own, there are Ubers in Cape Town you can use. If you want a rental car and feel comfortable driving on the other side of the road, feel free to use JD at The Travel Cafe to get that sorted and booked for you.

Hot! This is peak summer time and the weather is very similar to California. Hot without humidity. Cape Town is right on the ocean so there is always a coastal breeze. The wedding will be right on the ocean, so please bring a light jacket as it will cool down in the evening.
