South Africa's mother-city is a favourite for budget-minded learners who also want mountains, beaches and wildlife on the doorstep.
What it costs
Weekly tuition runs about ZAR 3,000–5,000 (≈ €150–250), among the lowest of any established destination, and daily living is affordable too.
Safety considerations
Cape Town rewards sensible precautions: use school-arranged accommodation and transfers, avoid walking alone at night, and follow local advice. Reputable schools brief students thoroughly.
Lifestyle
Table Mountain, wine country, safaris and surfing make it a genuine adventure base between classes.
Value check
On tuition alone Cape Town is very cheap; add flights from Asia/Europe and it's still strong value. Compare the all-in numbers in our cheapest-places guide.
