Situation Profile

INTRODUCTION

WELCOM TO THE GREEN ELEPHANT BACKPACKERS
My name is Robin and together with Richard and Jane, I will try to make your trip to Cape Town memorable for all the right reasons. I have backpacked in Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Malawi, Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda and Egypt, as well as Nepal, Thailand, Malaysia, Australia, New Zealand and Philippines. This is in addition to working in Papua New Guinea, Vietnam, Syria and Brunei. Backpacking is my hobby and passion. If you can help me with great places to go to, please drop in and share your experiences. We feel we can offer the best value overall deals in Cape Town, so do drop in and try us. The Green Elephant is situated in the lively student area of Observatory. Close to pubs and restaurants, public transport, shops, movies, sportsgrounds and theatres it is well placed for a base in Cape Town while you enjoy the benefits the Cape has to offer. Being in a student area, the pubs are full of young people and prices are low . We are Not in the centre of the city! Because we understand travelling on a budget, we continuously offer you the best deals in Cape Town. There is no compromise on quality, only affordability. We are here to enjoy ourselves too, so join us when we go parachuting, sailing, hiking or just out partying! We aim to be friendly and efficient !
