Affiliate disclosure

Cape Tourism earns money from affiliate commissions. If you click certain links and buy something, the seller pays us a percentage. You pay the same price either way: the commission comes out of the seller’s margin, not out of your pocket.

Chiefly hotel and guesthouse bookings, tours and tickets, eSIM and data plans, and flight search. Every outbound commercial link on this site goes through a /go/ redirect and is tagged so browsers and search engines can see it is sponsored. Pages that carry commercial links show a disclosure near those links, not only in the footer, so the notice appears where the decision is made.

It does not buy a ranking, a recommendation, or a place in a comparison. We are not paid to include a provider, and no provider sees a page before it is published. Where we think an option is not worth it, the page says so, including when there is a commission attached to it.

Places to stay are grouped by neighbourhood and by what that neighbourhood is actually good for, because in Cape Town the difference between two suburbs is the difference between walking to dinner and needing a car every evening. Prices are given in rand with the month they were checked, since the exchange rate moves far faster than the prices themselves.

We work with travel affiliate programmes including eSIM providers, flight search partners and activity marketplaces. The partner is named on the button you click, so you always know where a link leads before you follow it.

If anything about how this site makes money is unclear, ask: [email protected]. If you would rather we earned nothing from your visit, search for the provider directly instead of using our link. The guides are the same either way.
