Getting There

Uber is the best way to get around

Recommended

Uber is quick, affordable and widely available in Cape Town and Stellenbosch. Use it from the airport (30 - 40 minutes), to reach the venue each day, and to get to dinners and evening events.

  • Book only through the official Uber app.
  • At the airport, ignore anyone in arrivals who offers you a "taxi". Follow the app's directions to the Uber pickup point.
  • Before you get in, check that the number plate and driver match the app.
