I updated the conference wiki, but to answer some of your questions:

Are the "Wow Capetown Travel and Tours” prices
correct? They seem really
expensive (e.g., US$45 is around 600ZAR, compared to 400ZAR for an Uber in
both directions without sharing
Yes they are a bit more expensive but they offer a “Meet & Greet” service
with staff at the airport, ready to welcome each person. This may might be
a good, safe option for first-time visitors to be welcomed and escorted to
their transportation. Clients are asked to provide the time, date, and
flight number of both their arriving and departing flights.
- the US$80/day tours seem extremely expensive!).
I
n terms of the pricing……
We looked at several other companies for group tour options e.g.,
Ilios Travel – R1350 per person about $104
USD
African Eagle – R1300 per person about $100
USD
Wow's
price is R1040 ($80
USD
)
also
includes entrance fees of $23usd per person.

BTW, I’ve put some currency conversion estimates at:

and have created the template at:

that might be useful to add to the info pages.
Thanks,

There are several options, and yes that is a bus shuttle and the costs are
listed.

Thank you.
As I have just posted on the page's talk-page:
"How do we get to the city centre/ event venue from the airport? The
Cape Town page says to use MyCiTi - that's a bus, I think, but it's
not clear. What does it cost? Is exact change needed? Do we pay on the
bus, or at the airport?"

Wikivoyage:
https://en.wikivoyge.org/wiki/Wikimania_2018_Cape_Town_Guidebook
has a page with advice for Wikimania attendees. It's a good start, but
needs more local knowledge. Please help to improve the page if you can
For instance, South Africa uses both "Europlug" and "type D" power
sockets - but which is most prevalent at the city's hotels, and the
conference venue?
