Those staying at the many Clifton beach apartments and other Clifton apartments for
rent won't have to travel far to see the carnival, which starts in the District 6 Museum and makes its way through the city center, all are only 5 minutes drive from the Clifton apartments. Spend the day away from your Clifton rental watching the troupes, who take the event very seriously and are awarded prizes for the best dressed, best singers and the best performance and spend the late afternoon cooling off in the pool of your Clifton apartment, you won't be disappointed. During the month of January there are lots of other activities that are related to the Kaapse Klopse. The Cape Minstrel Carnival is Cape Towns equivalent to the New Orleans Mardi Gras.
