Green Elephant Backpackers, observatory, Cape Town, South Africa - the Backpackers with the personal touch! Located in Observatory, cape town with online tour info, bookings, accomodation and advice on travel in South Africa

Welcome to Cape Town

We have been running since June 1994 and are in the heart of the active, lively student area of Observatory where young people from all countries get together throughout the year to enjoy the night life and relaxed atmosphere.

We have made so many friends over the years, and keep in touch with many. Some of them have ended up marrying each other! To find who was here when you were, look at the index on the left under past guests.

We have 3 houses - the main house with all the facilities, the private room house with 4 private rooms and the long stay house where guest stay for as long as several months.

Happy travels in 2009 and beyond
