For
off-campus social food outlets, you may want to consider the
Tyger Waterfront, the
Tyger Valley mall, the
Willowbridge shopping centre, or one of the
wine farms in the Durbanville region. For transport, you could consider
Uber - in that case download the official Uber app from the Google play store or Apple app store on your own smartphone or tablet and add your profile and bank card details before first-time use (and protect the device with a screen lock). Be safety conscious: Always check the registration number of an Uber vehicle before you accept a ride; Walk away if anyone other than the driver is present in the car.
*Note: We accept no liability for any of these options. Please research safety and culture prior to exercising an informed decision.
