2 Week Cape Town Travel Itinerary
Cape Town is an incredible place, and I’m already excited to go back one day! I’m sharing the two week itinerary of things that my husband, Brian, and I did on our recent trip. Brian originally got to go to Cape Town for a work trip, so both of us worked (Brian in office, me remotely) the first week, then were able to enjoy vacation the second. Because of our work schedules, the first week isn’t as “exciting” as a true two-week vacation would be, so if you’re replicating this itinerary you could squeeze in even more activities!
Keep reading for our itinerary, and check out my tips to survive a long haul flight to make the trip to Cape Town a little bit easier!
