After arriving in Cape Town

There are official airport taxis, which you can book from a desk in the terminal building.
You may enquire with your accommodation whether they may offer a shuttle service.
You will likely be approached by people offering you a taxi service. It is advisable not to take up such offers.
Please note that the bus service from the airport is currently suspended.
