Wiki started to track the FTers who have taken up the CPT companion fare for the purpose of potential meet-up / DO in CPT where there is an overlap with FTers.
Cape Town is one of my favourite places in the world. update and encourage others to suggest places/bars/restaurants they love.
RESTURANTS:
Breakfast/Brunch:
Jarryds - Seapoint
The Foodbarn - Noordhoek
Lunch/Dinner:
SeaBreeze - Bree St
La Parada - Bree/Camps Bay / Constantia
THINGS TO DO IN AND AROUND CAPE TOWN:
Hike up Lions Head
Hike up Table Mountain or Cheat and take the cable car
With that hire car you got in this deal, you are going to want to drive Chapmans Peak Drive for incredible scenery, on the way to:
See the African Penguins at Boulders Beach
continuing to Africas Most South Western Point at the Cape of Good Hope
Franschhoek Wine Tram
Kayaking Tour of Cape Town - Atlantic Outlook
Paraglide off Signal Hill - Fly Cape Town
First Time in South Africa? You need to do a Safari!

Given these are 14 seat cabins, BA isn't going to fill them to the brim with promo. There might be 6 seats per cabin per flight or something like that (guess figure, but I've seen it saying "5 left at this price").
Best bet: start a search Saturday to Saturday, then keep adjusting the goalposts by one day a piece until the price comes into play. You have until midnight tomorrow (10th July) to get the extra BA Holidays discount.

For inbound there are several options, all with 8 seats available returning via JNB on 10th
Go via BA Holidays to add Flight plus Car to get cheaper prices

Then go out and go via the BA Holidays link, and choose flight and car. Choose your dates that you know have availability and you should see the cheaper price with slight increases depending on which car you select. You can alter the flight time at the top of that screen to ensure you get the flight time you want (if it has seats)
That worked for me, saved me 500 quid.
edit. I see wcel beat me to it.

Was planning to book QR, but this was a lot cheaper, so Mrs E2S and me are off in Jan 1AK
My niece & her hubby have booked for March - no status, so they have 5A/4A. They have always travelled at the back of the bus, so an absolute treat for them, pity CPT goes from T3, as I'm sure they would have loved using the CR

Still chewing this one over, but the timing of the deal doesn’t really fit well.
