First time experiences in Cape Town
Many South Africans and tourists flock to Cape Town to experience the an array of fun and memorable activities on offer, as well as the beautiful places to explore.
Sometimes, however, there may be a pre-existing idea of what places or activities might be like and the reality can often be vastly different.
1. The Company Gardens
The Company Gardens in the Cape CBD is certainly a must-visit, but nothing can prepare you for the level of squirrel and pigeon gangsterism that awaits you.
Most people know squirrels and pigeons for their timid nature; and expect them to run or fly away when approached. Make sure you’re ready for the exact opposite if you’re visiting the Company Gardens for the first time. Squirrels approach you on arrival as if they’re waiting for you to pay an entrance fee and pigeons crowd around you waiting for a chance to snap up something edible that is dropped or simply held for too long. There’s safety in numbers, theirs… not yours.
