Birthday woman enjoys Cape Town activities on R200 budget

Taking to her TikTok caption under the handle @zusiphemaqhaji, the hun gave viewers a glimpse into her day, which was filled with memorable experiences that showcased the affordability and charm of the Mother City.

She began her special day by taking a boat ride cruise for R140 for both her and her friend. Then headed to the Two Oceans Aquarium at the V&A Waterfront, and got free tickets, and her friend received a student discount after 3 pm. They both explored diverse marine life exhibits. The aquarium offers free entry during one's birthday month upon presentation of a South African ID.

They then headed for the complimentary ride on the Cape Town wheel, taking in panoramic views of the city and coastline. This free birthday treat is available to South African citizens throughout their birthday month, requiring only a valid ID for redemption. The complimentary ticket is valid for 30 days after registering online before your birthday.

To end off the lovely day, @zusiphemaqhaji and her friend had a free Wimpy cake and ice-cream. She bought a half-waffle with ice-cream for R19.99.

She expressed the following:

"Great experience. I can do it again and again."

By leveraging these birthday specials, she managed to enjoy a full day of activities without exceeding her R200 budget, highlighting the array of cost-effective experiences Cape Town has to offer.
