Activity itinerary

Company's Gardens
  • 1h
In the heart of Cape Town lies the historic Company’s Garden, first established in the 1650s by the Dutch East India Company to supply passing ships with fresh produce. Today, it’s a tranquil space where history, culture, and nature come together. Stroll along tree-lined avenues, admire vibrant flowers, and discover centuries-old monuments surrounded by some of the oldest trees in South Africa. On our visit, we’ll pause to enjoy a cup of local coffee paired with a traditional Cape Malay koeksister, before wandering through the gardens while learning about Cape Town’s rich past. With friendly squirrels, cultural landmarks, and a peaceful atmosphere, the Company’s Garden is more than just a park — it’s a living storey of the city’s beginnings.
Bo-kaap
  • 1h 30m
Next, step into the colourful Bo-Kaap, one of Cape Town’s most vibrant and historic neighbourhoods. Here, you’ll take part in an authentic hands-on Cape Malay cooking class, guided by a local host. Learn the art of folding samoosas, discover the secrets of fragrant spices, and taste the unique sweet-and-spicy flavours that define Cape Malay cuisine. Along the way, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of the Bo-Kaap community, its traditions, and its rich cultural heritage — an unforgettable experience that blends food, history, and hospitality.
Langa
  • 3h
End your day in Langa, Cape Town’s oldest township, founded in the 1920s. Rich in history and culture, Langa offers a powerful look into the city’s past and its ongoing transformation. With your guide, you’ll gain meaningful insights into the community, its people, and traditions. Your visit concludes with a mouthwatering Shisanyama lunch — a traditional South African braai. Savour sizzling boerewors, juicy beef, and tender chicken, served with pap and spicy chakalaka. Surrounded by music, laughter, and a warm township vibe, this experience delivers not only a taste of Cape Town’s cuisine but also a deeper connection to its culture.
