Getting To Cape Town 

There are two main ways to get around Cape Town and these include:Car Hire and Ubers, both of which are cheap easy options. Car Hire: You can hire a car through the normal hiring groups at the airport (Hertz, Avis, Europcar etc). Driving is on the UK side of the road – make sure you have cell data (organizeroaming or a sim before you go as you will need this for maps). If you are with standard UK networks such as Vodaphone/O2 you can usually pay an extra £2-£3 a day for data, but double check this before travelling.

Uber is easy to use in Cape Town but will be difficult in Franschhoek so best to rent a car to get to the wedding party.
