Springtime in Capetown is bursting with color. The rains ease up a little, falling only five to eight days each month. Temperatures are between 13°C (55°F) and 21°c (70°F), and most days are 14-16°C (57-61°F).

The currency utilized in South Africa is the South African Rand (R) and is currently trading at .059 USD to 1.00 Rand.

How much cash should I bring?
We recommend bringing minimal US dollars, i.e. $75-100, with you and then accessing the local ATM’s upon arriving in Cape Town.
