I recommend getting there right when it opens at 9 AM. It can get super crowded, and you really don’t want to rush through all the exhibits because they're so impactful

I think you should take your time in the main exhibition area. I rushed it a bit, and I missed some of the more emotional stories. Trust me, each section is worth absorbing.

I suggest checking out the temporary exhibitions if you can. They often have unique displays that really add to the experience. I stumbled upon one and it was a highlight of my visit!

My advice is to check out the little café inside; they have great coffee and snacks that are reasonably priced. I ended up spending more time there than I expected!

Try to bring cash! I found that the ticket prices are slightly cheaper if you pay in cash rather than card, plus you won't have to deal with possible card issues

I suggest booking your bungee jump in advance online to lock in a spot and save some cash. They sometimes have deals if you book ahead.

My advice is to visit early in the morning around 9 AM. The bridge is less crowded then, and you'll have a better chance to take those epic photos without anyone photobombing you!

Definitely check out the local eateries; the Cape Malay food is fantastic but budget for it! I spent more than I expected, so planning a budget helps.

Make sure you bring a good camera because the colorful houses are stunning! I found the best spots for photos early in the morning around 9 AM
