Cape Town is situated between the magnificent Table mountain and Table Bay. A short drive to the east finds you in the towns of Somerset West and Durbanville, where fantastic wines and farmlands are waiting to be explored.
The roads in Cape Town are well developed, fully tarred and invite the driver to enjoy the windy roads that meander up the mountain. The motorways that link the city to the rest of the country are all well maintained and are patrolled by a strict but a friendly traffic department. South Africa operates with all its speed limits and distances in kilometres; motorway limits are 120km/h (75mph) secondary road limits are 100km/h (60mph). Built up areas are usually 60km/h (35mph) unless indicated otherwise.
Unusual hazards are also something to watch out for on entering or exiting the city, such as sheep, cows, monkeys and large antelope. A seat belt must be worn at all times by the driver and front passenger. Petrol stations are easily located and most are open 24hrs. Extremely friendly staff help run the stations, welcome you and your vehicle to the correct pumps, and continue to fill your car with the amount you require. While you wait the attendants' will gladly clean the front and rear windows, check tyre pressure, water and oil levels.
With so much to explore all around this fascinating and diverse city, as well as further into the beautiful wine lands and games parks that surround the city, the area can and should only be travelled to by car in order to experience the true local beauty.
