About The Backpack

The Backpack Logo

This award winning hostel is South Africa's original backpacker. Superbly situated in Cape Town with easy access to the city, Table Mountain and the gorgeous beaches of Clifton and Camps Bay, it's super-organized, friendly, fun and home to many a traveling legend.

The swimming pool winks at the mountain, the café’s food hits the spot and the barbeques are not to be missed. And, after 19 years of practice they have been taking care of travelers down pat. But these are just some of the reasons why staying at The Backpack & Africa Travel Centre 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, pool table, DSTV, ATM, Wi-Fi, a travel desk and car hire…. This is a great place to ease into your African holiday. Or to plan it. Or to end it”. Coast to Coast 2009
