About Us
We personally ❤️ love this city
But Cape Town has too much going on. That’s the problem.
Every weekend, there are markets, concerts, hikes, restaurant openings, sports fixtures, and festivals. Most people end up doing the same old thing because the options are overwhelming and the weather is unreliable.
Cape Town Current is a weekly guide written by people who actually live here. What’s worth doing this weekend. What the weather will do to your plans. Where the deals are. What to skip.
Who We Are
We’re a small team of Cape Town locals: writers, photographers, foodies, hikers, parents, and perpetual explorers. Between us, we’ve tried every wine farm, hiked every mountain trail, eaten at every market, and probably gotten lost in every suburb at least once.
We don’t do sponsored lists. We don’t recommend places we haven’t been. We’re not here to sell you anything except confidence that you’re making the right choice for your weekend.
Our Mission
To help you stop scrolling and start experiencing. Cape Town is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. But beauty without a plan is just frustration. We give you the plan.
Why Trust Us?
- We live here. Not visiting. Not passing through. We deal with the same traffic, the same wind, the same load-shedding schedule you do.
- We’re independent. No corporate owners. No paid placements. Just honest recommendations.
- We test everything. If we recommend a restaurant, we’ve eaten there. If we suggest a hike, we’ve walked it. Twice.
- We’re weather-obsessed. Cape Town’s weather changes everything. We factor it in.
