Bo-Kaap An Area of Cape Town, South Africa

If you’ve ever googled Cape Town, the chances are that you’ve seen photos of Bo Kaap’s brightly-colored cottages. So if you’re thinking about checking out the area, then I don’t blame you! As well as being aesthetically pleasing, Bo Kaap is actually Cape Town’s oldest surviving neighborhood and is steeped in tradition and culture. Visiting this Cape Malay enclave actually taught me a lot about the history of Cape Town as a whole.
