Accommodation in Cape Town - Green Elephant Backpackers, Cape Town, Western Cape

The Green Elephant practices responsible tourism, uses the least damaging energy, yet provides a top class service in a sustainable system.

We have rewarded loyal service to our staff, by enabling Carne, Pat and Mavis to buy a house to allow for our expansion. They chose the name - "Shine The Way" - and I think it reflects our commitment to a new empowered South Africa where all share in her beauty and benefit from it.

Our double rooms have 4 poster beds are ensuite.We party in our solar heated swimming pool and the hot jacuzzi in winter.

But the luxury is added to the Environmental Plan which encourages recycling, uses grey water to flush toilets and actively encourages positive protection of the World around us.

For outdoor activities, look no further, we will lead you for diving, kloofing, parachuting.

Or relax on our balcony having a braai and a beer.

Internet access is a fast ADSL line to read your email quickly.
