Top 10 Things to Do in Stellenbosch
Travel Tips for Stellenbosch
Anytime is a good time to visit Stellenbosch as the weather is good all year round. The warmest months tend to be January, February, March and December, so you need to be aware of that when going on safari tours. Ideally the best time for safari tours or any other sightseeing tours April, September, October and November because the weather is warmer and dryer than the other months of May to August.
The most expensive thing for most people going anywhere in South Africa is the flight tickets to get there. Once you are there, it is very reasonably priced. A three-course meal for 2 in a mid-range restaurant will cost around US$35; an imported beer will cost US$2 which is excellent. A fast food meal in McDonald's is cheaper here than in the US at US$4 a combo meal. Taxis start from less than US$2 for the first 1km.
Sadly, there is nowhere in the world that is crime free, so when you are anywhere in South Africa be careful of your belongings. Only carry enough money to do you for the day and keep it somewhere safe on your person and be aware of your surroundings. Never walk alone at night in unpopulated dark areas. Tipping in restaurants and bars is between 10-15 percent but never feel obliged to leave a tip if the service was a disaster.
The summer months in Stellenbosch are January, February, March and December when temperatures are averaging around 25-27 degrees Celsius. January is both the hottest and driest month of the year. The coldest month is August but, even at that, the temperatures only go as low as 17 degrees Celsius. The wettest month is June and it is a month that really should be avoided if you do not like rain.
