Unique things to do in South Africa

We will be hiking up Lions Head, Cape Town's most Instragram'able hike. We plan to either catch the sunset over the Atlantic Ocean or sunrise from the Hottentots Holland mountains. We enjoy some amazing photo opportunities before our descent. During a sunset hike, we descend in the dark using our flashlights (provided). During a sunrise hike, we may hike the first part in the dark using our flashlights (provided). This hike has been an age old tradition for locals especially during the full moon and on clear/windless nights/mornings where the lights of the city below dazzle and the moon and stars show off its beauty in the night sky. Other things to note Wear clothing you are comfortable hiking in. Ensure you wear descent pair of hiking/walking shoes. A fair level of fitness is required. You need to be comfortable with heights. Start times vary based on Sunset and Sunrise and it is critical that we start on time in order to witness Sunrise/Sunset

The Cape of Good Hope evokes immense drama as massive waves carve away at the base of 700 foot high cliffs. It’s a corner of the globe steeped in cultural & maritime history, but even more so it is famous for its raw natural beauty: both terrestrial as well as marine. Our journey will begin at my favorite bakery in Kalk Bay for a coffee & pastry before we drive to Simon's Town for encountering our precious, endangered African Penguins. By mid-morning we’ll arrive at the Cape of Good Hope section of the Table Mountain National Park where our trail shoes can be of use. We’ll hike a mix of rugged mountain trail & stretches of white sand beach. During our hike I will share my knowledge of our botanically rich & diverse Fynbos biome, looking out for wildlife, insects, birds & reptiles along the way too. We will do a 2.5-3 hour circular hike of an easy to moderate difficulty covering 6 km / 4 miles as well as a 2 km / 1.3 mile exploration of the Cape Point & Dias Beach area on a linear or out-and-back trail of a moderate nature. We end the day back in Kalk Bay where you can get a drink, grab an early dinner or just head home after ordering an Uber. Join me for a memorable day exploring the Cape of Good Hope on foot :) Private Bookings: - Please get in touch if you are 4+ people to confirm availability. - Direct pick up/drop off is possible. - Flexibility on itinerary.

The experience includes about around 5 to 7 stops, where we visit, celebrate and get to listen to African (mainly) food entrepreneurs. We’ll listen to their stories about how they managed to create unique and meaningful community spaces despite harsh and challenging economic and social conditions in a rapidly gentrifying city with little affordable trading spaces available. This is your invitation to an off-the-beaten-path tour through downtown Cape Town to discover its hidden African food gems — a window, which allows you to explore our diverse Mother City from a unique perspective. This tour focuses on community kitchens and restaurants, which showcase the role of food in different African communities across the diaspora. What we'll do. In roughly 3 hours, we showcase how food has the power to hold communities together as we guide you through Cape Town's best hidden African kitchens and restaurants. Let us take you on a culinary journey all the way from South Africa up to Mali, sho't left to Ethiopia and the Horn of Africa, and share insights about the incredibly diverse and complex traditions of Somali food culture and the fragrant spices used in African countries that border the Red Sea. Share some fresh Injera, steaming soft pap, and floral cafe touba with us, while listening to stories about food and community from East-, West, and South Africa.

We get an early start to avoid the big tour buses as we head to one of only 2 places on the continent where you can experience the African Penguin. These friendly little guys have been kind enough to share their spectacular beach with us. We'll make our way through a secret passage among the boulders and vegetation to get close to these gentle and curious birds without being intrusive. Our next stop is the historic Cape Point National Park in search of Ostriches, Eland and the illusive Cape Mountain Zebra, you'll also have the chance to experience two must have moments: The visit to the Cape of Good Hope Corner and the Lighthouses of Cape Point. A tram trip to the top lighthouse costs 85 ZAR extra if you'd prefer not to walk. We then head to one of the world's most beautiful coastal roads; Chapmans Peak Drive where we'll prepare a craft gin tasting of our very own award winning Pesky Hobbit Gin born during the global hardships of 2020. Our final stop is at a destination synonymous with Capetonian foodie culture. The local fisherman of Hout Bay have long been regarded as the best in the business when it comes to delivering the tastiest Fish and Chips in SA. This is a real winner and a must do for lunch during your time here. Our last stretch after a memorable day is along the coastal road via Llandudno Beach and Camps Bay back to your accommodation or drop-off point.
