For easy listening, we tune into Kfm on 94.5 FM. It's specifically aimed at 30-somethings and we love it. It has a mixture of English and Afrikaans presenters which make it very Cape Town. If we're looking for something more soothing, we find that Fine Music Radio meets the need on 101.3 FM. Classics and jazz are great if you're in the mood.

So if you are coming from a country that uses 2 pin plugs or the square shaped 3 pin plugs, you will need an adaptor to use appliances. Here's a photo to help you identify the adaptor you will need! What’s the time now in Cape Town? Cape Town’s time is GMT +2 hours (if you use the Greenwich convention), or UTC +2hours if you’re more familiar with the American terminology. What’s the flight time from London/Europe to Cape Town? A direct flight from London or Central Europe to Cape Town takes between 11 and 12 hours. Is there a risk of malaria in Cape Town? No. There is no malaria in Cape Town. BUT if your South African holiday will include destinations such as the Kruger National Park as well as Cape Town, you need to need to take malarial prophylaxis before you visit. Ask your doctor or an international travel clinic for advice about which specific drugs will be most appropriate for you.
