About Wander Cape Town

I, Katja, and my twin sister, Küra, have lived in Cape Town for the past 5 years now. We’ve done a lot of travelling in Europe and Asia, with a couple of years spent in Germany and South Korea. And while we’ve absolutely loved our travels, they’ve also reminded us just how beautiful and diverse and full of fun Cape Town is! The city offers so much to enjoy, from mountain and ocean adventures to the bustling cityscape.
So, basically, we love the mother city, and decided it was high time we started writing about it! Both of us, after studying rather different things at the University of Cape Town, are writers and SEO strategists. And so, we’re applying our knowledge to our own city, and supporting travel and adventure right here.
You’ll also see Glenn pop up in a lot of the photos and some of the adventures. That’s my husband! And since I (Katja) am usually the one taking photos, he’s the one in front of them! He’s also so darn photogenic, I can’t help including him in the shots.
Mission

Values
Vision
To help Cape Town locals and visitors to explore all the many different sides of Cape Town and enjoy our city to the fullest. And to strengthen local industry and entrepreneurship where we can!
