This award win­ning hos­tel is South Africa’s orig­i­nal back­packer. Superbly sit­u­ated in Cape Town with easy access to the city, Table Moun­tain and the gor­geous beaches of Clifton and Camps Bay, It’s super-​organized, friendly, fun and home to many a trav­el­ling leg­end. The swim­ming pool winks at the moun­tain, the café’s food hits the spot and the bar­be­ques are not to be missed. And, after 20 years of prac­tice they have been tak­ing care of trav­ellers down pat. But these are just some of the rea­sons why stay­ing at The Back­pack is so pop­u­lar. The rest make it a good idea to book ahead. Like their beau­ti­ful Afro-​chic rooms. And their ency­clopaedic knowl­edge of travel. Not to men­tion the reg­u­lar stuff like their wicked bar, pool table, DSTV, ATM, Wi-​Fi, a travel desk and car hire….. This is a great place to ease into your African hol­i­day. Or to plan it. Or to end it. Coast to Coast 2010

Mak­ing a dif­fer­ence is more than just an ini­tia­tive of The Back­pack. It is the way we are, the way we work and the way we live. By choos­ing to stay with us you will be mak­ing a dif­fer­ence to the lives of more than 300 children
