A braai is a special South African barbecue that brings people together to enjoy good food and nature. In Cape Town, you can have a braai in beautiful spots like Oudekraal, Newlands Forest, Silvermine Nature Reserve, and Maiden’s Cove, each with stunning views. At Oudekraal, you can grill near the ocean, while Newlands Forest offers a quiet, shady spot among tall trees. Silvermine has a lovely reservoir where you can swim and cook, and Maiden’s Cove dazzles with breathtaking sunsets over the ocean. No matter where you choose, a braai in Cape Town is a joyful celebration of food, friends, and the great outdoors.

Despite this incredible accomplishment, Basson stays resolute at the grill, intent on establishing a new personal milestone by reaching a total of 84 hours.
