On vacation in the lovely city of Cape Town, we stumbled across the African Trading Port, located in the V&A Waterfront. What a great attraction, friendly staff, and great value for money! A must see when in Cape Town. Joel

I found the smaller end itemd much cheaper her then anyplace else. No barining is done nore needed due to good pricing. That being said I found a gold necklace which was priced at about $200 USD. My Credit card was charged 10Xs that amount. I blame myself for not being more careful. After contacting the store they offered to... More

If you are looking for african curios at a very good price than look no further. Plus located in the Waterfront so very convenient. Also nice range of tshirts for the kids even in the smallest sizes. Unfortunately no lift to first floor where they have even more for sale.

Just to say that on a recent trip to Cape Town this place made our shopping complete! Friendly staff, so much to choose from, and a great array of products to choose from.
