City Sightseeing SA and Cape Town Tourism host splendid #SunsetBusInstameet

What’s the secret recipe for a successful Instameet? Combine two leading tourism establishments that are passionate about Cape Town, add a liberal sprinkling of well-known Instagrammers (Igers) and a dash of social influencers, and mix well with an integrated digital agency. Serve paired with a spectacular experience and offer prizes as dessert.

This is the Flow Secret (or not so secret anymore) Instameet Formula that helped make the inaugural City Sightseeing SA and Cape Town Tourism #SunsetBusInstameet, held on 10 November 2015, a true success story.

Together with 24 of Cape Town’s most influential Igers in the tourism space, Flowstars Quathar Begg, Sadiqah Slamong and I rode the red City Sightseeing bus along the Sea Point Promenade to Camps Bay and up to Signal Hill to capture the sunset. And what a glorious sunset it was.

The results speak for themselves – and the statistics are as stunning as the photographs:

Before the magic happened and the cries of awe filled the air on #SignalHill. Lion's Head looking stark and gorgeous. Get yourself up here for a sunset tour this summer with @citysightseeingsa This hill looks over the city, the CapeTown Stadium, the V&A Waterfront, Sea Point. , Lion's Head and Table Mountain. Take a jacket as the wind can be strong and cold. From the car park if you walk towards Lions Head you will be sheltered from the wind. #SunsetBusInstameet #lovecapetown #meetsouthafrica #travelphotography#instagood #mountain #SunsetBusInstameet #SunsetBusInstameet #capetownskies #naturepics #capetownmagazine #pixelpanda
