There is nothing like a little bit of retail therapy to pick you up and its important to take home a memento or two of your holiday. There are a wide variety of shops and shopping experiences within Cape Town.
Cape Town is a shoppers dream with super shopping malls and boutique shops tucked away in the side alleys of the city. The best known shopping areas include the central city with its fleamarkets such as Greenmarket Square as well as an eclectic mix of shops. The best known of all shopping centres is the V&A Waterfront , although Cavendish and Canal Walk offer more shops and great amount of choice and well worth a visit if you have the time.
As Capetonians we know a thing or two about shopping in our beautiful city. Herewith are just a few of our favourite shops and shopping experiences. If your looking for something specific then speak to your Rhino Africa Consultant who will be able to steer you in the right direction.
