I’ve recently been in Cape Town. It’s definitely not a ”safe“ city...at all.
The streets are empty at night. You basically go from your hotel past
security....into a waiting car...then out of your car at your destination,
where security opens the car door and the door to your safe haven
destination.
Beautiful? Yes.
Safe? Yes, as long as you stay within the limits of constant security.
Two steps outside those lines....and you’re on you own....good luck!
The whole place felt like a ticking racial time bomb waiting to go off.
And, I couldn’t find an escort to save my life. Thankfully, the world
class body builder / masseur in the spa was most accommodating.
