Rose Bonica

Cape Town can most simply be described as a melting pot of different cultures, cuisines and landscapes. Some say there's nothing quite like it and one of those people is native, Rose Bonica. As a DJ at the forefront of the city's electronic scene, it's safe to say that she knows what's happening and where. Here, she shares her favourite spots across her city.

Having hosted the first pride parade on the continent Cape Town is widely regarded as the gay capital of Africa. The city often feels like an endless joyride with numerous tracks sprawled across South Africa’s western cape each leading to its own enclave of wonder. Wandering round and round the ticket booth is a valid reaction to a city that leaves you this spoilt for choice. 

The mesmerising multicoloured district of Bo-Kaap is a wonderful place to start, its bright blues and greens reminiscent of Joseph's technicolour dream coat. The bustling waves and white sand of Llandudno beach are a surfer's dream. All this is set against the backdrop of the notorious Table mountain and its cloud cloth, a beautiful testament to the idiosyncratic ways in which nature chooses to display its beauty.

There's no way you can visit Cape Town without driving along Chapmans Peak and getting a photo at the Lookout Point. For people who live here, Chappies is still one of the go to spots on a Sunday drive. I mean how can it not be with a view like this.

Chapman's Peak

Definitely one of my most nostalgic spots, having gone to Llandudno Primary. The sunsets from here are insane! If I’m honest, it's also one of the only beaches I'd go to if I liked to go to the beach.

If you want the best fish and chips in Cape Town. If you disagree, you can always feed the fish to the seagulls.

One of the few clubs that we have in Cape Town. Champagne and NTSC are my favourite nights. Some of their other nights are great too, if you're looking for a bit more of a Berlin techno vibe.

I recently went to the Aquarium to film a live stream and it's definitely my new favourite spot in Cape Town. The best part is that most of the sea life are rescues getting rehabilitated to get put back into the ocean.

The perfect little village to escape to when the city becomes too much. The beach is beyond and there's a beautiful Lake at the end of the beach to float around in when the waves get too much.
