I spent a fun day with Emily and her Mom and got to experience Cape Town from a whole new perspective! 💛

We explored some of Cape Town’s favourite attractions together — starting with the @capewheel at the @vandawaterfront, taking in the city from the @citysightseeingsa bus, and finishing the day with some fun at @bluetrainparkza . 🎡🚌🚂

Spending the day with Emily made me look at places I know so well in a different way. It was a great reminder that exploring Cape Town can be about so much more than just ticking attractions off a list — it’s about finding experiences that everyone can enjoy together. ❤️

Emily brought so much fun and energy to the day! 😊 It was amazing to see how much she enjoyed every single minute of our adventure and of course, we picked activities where we knew they will be accessible for her. People were super helpful, friendly and accommodating - so it was relatively easy to get around BUT there is also so much room for improvement everywhere you look!

We couldn’t go to a single playground because there was no equipment for kids with special needs! THIS needs to change - we need inclusive play areas everywhere - parks, malls, open spaces... I hope we will be seeing them pop up everywhere so that ALL kids can enjoy this fabulous city.

Thank you, Emily and @ableadventurerssa , for taking me along on your Cape Town adventure! 🌍☀️ I’m looking forward to many more together 🤗
