What this video covers This is a practical, hour-by-hour 48-hour Cape Town family itinerary covering two full days with realistic timings, honest costs, and a budget breakdown for a family of four. Flights and accommodation are not included in the budget. Day One runs entirely on a single 24-hour City Sightseeing hop-on hop-off ticket, which also includes the Table Mountain cable car. It starts at Company's Garden, a free city-centre garden, before the Table Mountain Aerial Cableway up to the summit. After lunch at the V&A Waterfront, the Blue route bus heads out to Camps Bay, a wide sandy beach backed by the Twelve Apostles mountain range, before returning for dinner in the City Bowl or at the Waterfront. Day Two is based entirely at the V&A Waterfront and is easily walkable, no bus or car needed. It covers a free morning wander around the harbour and the Seal Platform, the Marine Wildlife Tour, a 90 minute boat trip around Table Bay with dolphins, seals and penguins commonly seen, the Two Oceans Aquarium, home to over 3,000 creatures with a penguin exhibit and a touch pool, and the Cape Wheel at sunset for 360 degree views over the harbour. The video also covers getting around Cape Town by hop-on hop-off bus, on foot, and by Uber or Bolt, where to pick up drinks and snacks at Pick n Pay and Woolworths, and the Cape Town CityPASS for anyone planning to add extra stops.
