I am planning a return hunt to South Africa in April 2026. My wife would like us to spend a few day in Cape Town this time also visit Kruger. How safe is Cape Town now with the present problems?
 
It’s been almost 2 years since my last trip but unless you are driving into a township, I wouldn’t be worried. I’m planning a trip in 2026 and unless something really changes I have no concerns.

Gardens, Sea Point and Camps bay are all areas I would be surprised if you weren’t comfortable walking around.

Compared to NYC, Chicago or Houston I think Cape Town is equally safe from the standpoint of - if you aren’t in bad areas or doing “dumb” things you should be perfectly safe.

Happy to answer more questions via PM as well.
 
Any recommendations on local guides in Capetown would be appreciated
 
I used a local tour guide service, Ilios Travel, for meet and greet at the airport and also for an all day private tour of Cape Town and the surrounding area. Wonderful and well worth it.

Here's the target for the NorthForks - 25yds off a bag, iron sights. Hunting leopards over dogs the range won't be more than that.

Flew in an airshow in Smyrna years ago, beautiful country.

Best regards,
