Sustainable experiences

Wander the colourful streets of Bo-Kaap on a cultural walking tour. Discover some of Bo-Kaap's oldest historical buildings – including the oldest mosque in South Africa - and learn about the culture and traditions of the local people. After your walking tour, you’ll prepare a traditional Malay meal with your host: samosas, chicken curry, roti flatbread and samabal (better known as salsa salad) and a traditional dessert of koesisters (spicy savoury donuts served with cardamon tea). Leave filled with stories of what you have learned and sampled.
