Cape Town Facts & Tips

Cape Town has a Mediterranean Climate

Summer is characterised by temperature maximums around the high 20° C but also reaching into the high 30° C. Winter hovers around the high teens with minimums dropping below 10° C. In winter trees and vineyards change to bright reds and yellows before losing their leaves as snow-capped mountain peaks in the interior embellish the beautiful landscape. In spring, the landscape goes to a lush green as the winter rains and sunlight spur the vegetation on. Spring is also a great time to see the wild flowers transform the deserts. Summer is hot and dry, with strong cool southeasterly winds hitting the turquoise waters of the oceans, drastic mountains and lush vineyards of Cape Town and the Western Cape making this a beautiful place to visit.

Bergheim Lodge - Guesthouse


Bergheim Lodge Bergheim Lodge Bergheim Lodge Bergheim Lodge Bergheim Lodge

Werner met and fell in love with a lovely young lady called Heidi. She was a
lawyer by profession and lived in Pretoria. They got married in December
2007 and Heidi, who is an avid nature lover decided to swap her lawyer's
degree for her passion for nature at Bergheim Lodge. Together with Werner
and her mother Gwen, Heidi is involved full time with Bergheim Lodge and
the safaris. It had always been Heidi's dream to partake in such a career.
The lodge is described as a family business and the aim is to make guests
feel like they are at a second home away from home. Heidi's son, Stiaan,
ensures that all guests are as comfortable as possible and have everything
they need. He also makes the children feel welcome and at ease. Heidi, who
has grown up on a farm believes that it is impertinent that a child or adult
should get in touch with nature and be close to it, as there are so many
lessons we as people can learn from nature.

Jam Backpackers - Hostel


Jam Backpackers Jam Backpackers Jam Backpackers Jam Backpackers Jam Backpackers Jam Backpackers Jam Backpackers Jam Backpackers

It's a great town - there are many open spaces where you can walk or mountain bike. Nearby is the Premier Game Reserve, next door to the Cullinan Diamond Mine, where the largest diamond in the world was found.

You could do a short horse trail at the Voortrekker Monument or through the Premier Reserve, taking a careful look at some white rhino and a number of eland - which are pretty much the size of a big horse. You could do a tandem skydive or a first jump at the Pretoria Skydiving Club, which is the largest in the country

Situated on a Polo Horse Training Farm within the Kameeldrift-east (Pretoria) district, JAM Backpackers is the ideal stop over or stay longer when traveling to any destination: north to the Limpopo Province and beyond, east to the Lowveld and Kruger, or west to Sun City.

To compare our quality with any other similar establishments in Gauteng would just not be fair. JAM is unique in every way.

Stables with beds: converted into lovely rooms with cozy stand alone coal heaters, side tables, bookshelf and more. Our lounge is something to write home about: we invented the word lounging.

Splendid new bathrooms and loos. Awesome views, surrounded by horses and pups and all nature of little things.

Off the farm we offer wonderful day tours to various locations around Gauteng. Then, for the not so faint at heart we specialize in Adventure expeditions from Sky Diving to Bird Watching.

In a nutshell, JAM Backpackers will host you, bed you, feed you and look after you, just as your family would have done.
