Logistics

After arriving in Cape Town

If you arrive at the airport, there are various ways of getting to your accommodation:

During the day, Uber is generally available. Please follow the signs for e-hailing. If you arrive early in the morning or late in the evening, this might not be an option, though. Only use an Uber booked through the Uber app.

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.

If you arrive by bus or taxi, the easiest option to get to your application is to get an Uber.
