When they’re not leading adrenaline-filled adventures through Atlantis Dunes, Busi and Gugu Ngcelwane, the founders of Twin Venture, are out exploring the city like wide-eyed tourists.
Whether they’re on a run, cycling through the city’s green spaces, or soaking up Cape Town’s postcard-perfect ocean and mountain views, this dynamic duo knows how to balance thrill with chill.
“There’s nothing better than a day off spent doing our favourite things around the city,” says Gugu. “Cape Town’s beauty never gets old, and you don’t need to spend a lot to enjoy it,” adds Busi.
The Melkbosstrand twins enjoy keeping their itinerary fuss-free. Here are their favourite things to do in the city:
Run on the Prom
As passionate runners, the twins never miss an opportunity to explore Cape Town’s many scenic routes. One of their favourites is the Sea Point Promenade, stretching along the Atlantic Seaboard. Access to the Promenade is free, and the route offers more than just a good workout. Along the way, you can admire public art and photography, grab a tasty bite from local food trucks, or soak up the sun and sea breeze as you get your heart rate going.
“We recommend going at sunrise or sunset,” they say. “The energy, the diversity of people, and the fresh ocean air make it a truly unforgettable experience.”
Location: Beach Road, Sea Point.
Price: Free.
Cycle Green Point Urban Park with CURIOCITY
For a more laid-back adventure, the twins take a smooth ride through Green Point Urban Park.
“We hire bikes from CURIOCITY Green Point,” says Gugu. “The rental lasts two hours, so there’s plenty of time to explore to your heart’s content. We usually head to Green Point Park, cycle through the paths, indigenous gardens and various public installations. If we have time, we find a quiet spot to relax and enjoy nature in all her glory.”
Bike hire can be arranged at the front desk of the hotel.
Location: Bike hire: CURIOCITY Green Point at 153 Main Rd, Green Point,
Park: 1 Fritz Sonnenberg Rd, Green Point.
Price: R150 pp for the bike hire and free entry to the park.
Botany Café, The President Hotel
After an active morning, Busi and Gugu change into something fresh and make their way to The President Hotel for a stop at Botany Café. This sleek grab-and-go spot serves wholesome meals made with sustainably sourced, local ingredients and inspired by Bantry Bay. “We love building our own sandwiches or wraps and trying some of their hot drink selections. The staff are always so friendly,” says Busi.
Location: 4 Alexander Rd, Bantry Bay
Price: Meals are under R150.
