I am sure you will find many exciting events happening in the Mother City in September, you will love to join.
Spring has arrived in town and the wintery storms should be over soon.
Have you ever seen the colorful wildflowers in bloom around Cape Town? If not, it is now the time to enjoy nature at its best.
Vygies, daisies and arum lilies color the lush greens. The South African wildflowers are protected by the way, so do not pick them or buy them at street vendors who sell them illegally and are not in possession of a permit. More about great Wildflower Festivals here. 
September is also back to school month for the American school in Cape Town.
All the other Cape Town kids however rely on the
