"My name is Robin and, together with my
staff and my dog, Defa, I will try to make
your trip to Cape Town memorable for all
the right reasons.

"In Southern Africa I have backpacked in
Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia,
Malawi, Mozambique, Tanzania, Kenya,
Uganda and Egypt, as well as Nepal,
Thailand, Malaysia, Australia, New Zealand,
Philippines, Argentina, Bolivia, Peru and
New Orleans, USA! This is in addition to
working in Papua New Guinea, Vietnam,
Syria and Brunei.

"Backpacking is my hobby and passion.
I can help you with great places to go to,
experiences to take home with you and
a few laughs too."

"Look forward to seeing you
in Cape Town!"

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!
