Jolling is a wonderful Afrikaans word for PARTYwhy-because-you-canING. And there’s lots of it in Southern Africa because the people are friendly , the beer is cheap and the nightlife whatever you want it to be. This icon tells you when to put on your dancing shoes.

From Waterfront: Take Buitengracht Street (M62) towards Table Mountain. They’re where the road splits. Next right, right again and right into the parking area.
This award winning 5 star hostel is Cape Town’s original backpacker. Superbly situated, it has easy access to the city, Table Mountain and the gorgeous beaches of Clifton and Camps Bay. It is also super organised, friendly, fun and home to many a travelling legend.
The swimming pool winks at the mountain, the café’s food hits the spot, the braais are not to be missed, and after 21 years of practise they have taking care of travellers down pat.
But these are just a few reasons why The Backpack is so popular. The rest make it a good idea to book ahead.
Like their beautiful Afro-chic rooms. And their encyclopedic knowledge of travel. Not to mention the regular stuff like their wicked bar, limited free internet, DSTV, an ATM, a travel desk and car hire... This is a great place to ease into, plan, or end, your African holiday.
