For the adventurous traveler in Cape Town, car rentals are a fantastic way to experience the place on your own terms, and on your own schedule.  Having your own car means a level of independence that is otherwise hard to find.  There are so many opportunities to experience nature and culture in Cape Town, and some of the most interesting events take place far from the confines of the city.  There are many wonderful attractions within the city as well, and having your own transportation allows you to experience more sights and more night life, giving you the flexibility to travel as far as you like whenever you like.

Cape Town is an extremely lively place, with incredible cultural happenings going on all throughout the year.  For live music, there is really no better place on earth, as some of the richest rhythms are remixed and reinvented here in dizzying new musical forms.  Likewise there are restaurants all over the city, offering the many varieties of local cooking traditions, and a strong tendency toward international fare.  There are museums and galleries marking South Africa’s complicated and fascinating history, with something to offer every member of the family.  There are also a number of festivals, and a rental car would certainly make participation easier.  A fine example of this takes place fairly close to Cape Town, within driving distance, in Hermanus, where the Whale Festival is considered to be the best whale watching in the world.

Every Spring, September in South Africa, the whales return to Walker Bay, and thousands gather for this environmentally-conscious festival.  The Hermanus Whale Festival has something for participants of all ages, with a stunning array of activities during the four-day event.  There are loads of splendid live musical acts, representing some of the best of local and international talents.  There are also car shows, a golf tournament, and educational and entertaining events and workshops geared toward young people.  There are also a number of street performers, offering amusing entertainments that also give a glimpse into the local cultures.  Of course, the main attraction here is the whales, and the chance to see this is something that amazes tourists and visitors, along with locals, who never get over this remarkable feat of nature.
