We are Saleha and Aliasgher, creators of this page that has been running since October 2021. We live in Cape Town, but have explored various cities across South Africa. We love sharing these experiences - visiting new places, eating at mouthwatering restaurants, hiking up mountains and everything in between. We can help you plan your trip, give you the best and most comprehensive recommendations o

r itinerary, and even help you hire a car, book a hotel or your activities at discounted prices. Interestingly, we had an epiphany to start this page at the Diving Board of Table Mountain, and we've loved sharing our unique experiences and perspectives with you! Our name AforadventureS represents all the adventures we have the privilege of enjoying, while the A at the beginning stands for Aliasgher and the S at the end stands for Saleha, our names. Our logo has 2 penguins since they are THE CUTEST, and are together for life πŸ₯°

If you are a business and would like us to capture your experience to give our followers a glimpse of what you offer, please feel free to reach out to us. If you are a fellow adventurist, we hope you enjoy our content on this page! We would not be where we are without you πŸ’• Those of you who have asked us for recommendations know we love to hear from you and answer any questions you have regarding all things food and travel!

Here's a fun fact about us - even though we look like adults we are basically children inside πŸ˜‚ When we were in Outdshoorn, we came across this camel ride and honestly we really wanted to do it! The people we bought the tickets from and those guiding the camels found it so funny that we wanted to do this ride meant for kids, but we did anyway and had a blast! So now it's one of those things that became a funny story πŸ˜›

We're the kind of people who believe that the journey really is as important as the destination! Road trips are the best way to explore that journey and create memorable experiences 🫢 So whether you're planning a weekend getaway or a longer adventure, we recommend taking the road less traveled.

Our recent road trip took us across seven towns in South Africa, from the stunning vistas of Oudtshoorn to the vibrant city life of Johannesburg. But that's not all - we've also explored many Western Cape cities and are here to give you the basic but often ignored tips you'll need for your trip. So, buckle up and hit the road!

Save this post for your next trip and embark on the adventure of a lifetime πŸ˜‰

Travel myth: Traveling is always expensive.

Truth: It doesn't have to be! Depending on how many you are when you're traveling, it can be made affordable by finding deals, or picking priorities. For instance, if you want to enjoy the cuisine of the place you're staying at, perhaps pick a more budget friendly accommodation. Also always remember to check multiple sites for the same accommodation - you might find a better price πŸ˜‰

π—§π—Όπ˜‚π—Ώ π—Όπ—½π˜π—Άπ—Όπ—»π˜€: You have a choice between two tours. 1️⃣ Heritage Tour: Takes 1 hour and goes through the 3 main caves, each with its own significance (more in pt). 2️⃣ Adventurers Tour: This goes deeper into the caves, requiring visitors to crawl through tight spaces and climb a bunch of steps. It is not recommended for those who are prone to claustrophobia.

𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐀: There isn't an online booking system, and the website recommends that you email to book. In our experience though, we didn't get a confirmation until we called. If you do that, you can get a booking number too, and pay for your tour when you arrive. Alternatively, you can get away with walking in if you want to wing it 😜 Tours run every hour from 9am to 4 pm. The basic tour costs R170 pp and is run on a daily basis excluding weekends πŸ˜€

We love caves. But Cango Caves was beyond mesmerizing. There is just something so beautiful about rocks. The way they form into their shapes and change through the impact of the environment around them. If you are a fan of rocks, caves and learning about history through such landmarks, this is a must visit.

We've been waiting years to visit, and it was definitely worth making the trip. It holds a huge historic significance - indigenous Khoisans occupied these caves as early as the stone ages.

We took the heritage tour that runs every hour with experienced guides taking you through the caves and sharing with you intricate details and some really cool facts about rock formations. You will enter the cave through a gate structure where you will be greeted by models depicting Khoisans who lived there and the spaces that they occupied.

From there, your guide will take you to the first chamber of the first cave. This part of the cave was also occupied by Khoisans centuries ago. Your guide will show you how so many rocks spill from either the top or the bottom of the cave to form stalactites (dropping from the ceiling) or stalagmites (rising from the floor). These formations occur through water seeping through the caves over hundreds of years, creating calcium carbonate and the formation.

Since this isn't an overnight process, it's even more amazing to see a formations that looked like the Leaning Tower of Pisa, and another that depicted Cleopatra’s Needle. We also had a whole new appreciation for all the light inside when we saw that the Khoisans basically used one tiny candle in that immense and almost absolute darkness.

The second chamber of the first cave and the following caves were unlivable, but your tour guide will continue to show you various cool rock formations. The second cave follows with rock formations of a honeymoon and 200-300 babies formed over 100 years, while the third cave that had a translucent formation of a drum that when beaten acts like an actual drum. Funnily enough, you will also have access to rock "washrooms" here 😝

We have, of course, just touched on the surface of everything you will see when you visit, with many finer details that you will get to discover during the tour.

Local is lekker 😏‡️

Yummy bagels and burgers anyone? Keen to visit a vibing suburb in the Cape? Look no further than in Observatory, with delicious meals and friendly staff πŸ‘Œ

We have tried their breakfast and chicken mayo bagel for one of our previous meals and loved the flavours in both. From the lunch menu, we tasted their buttermilk chicken and beef burgers, both were mouthwatering to say the least, and S still remembers the taste of that buttermilk chicken burger in her mouth. That good 🀀🀀 We enjoy our meals with a variety of veggies, and you get that with Mo’s food.

Pro tip: Just make sure to check their timings before venturing out ⏰

In terms of drinks, we recommend the juices for a cold drink or their caramel latte!

They are budget friendly as well, so you can expect to spend about R100-R150 per person for food, drinks and a tip 😁

Parks are in abundance in the Mother City, but Green Point Park is one of our favourites. Whether you’re going for a picnic or an evening walk, it’s perfect. There are views of the mountains up close, the wind from the ocean in the distance, loads of well kept greenery and even a biodiversity garden! Have you been?
