The Bo-Kaap, with its iconic rainbow-coloured houses cascading down the slopes of Signal Hill, is one of Cape Town's most photographed and culturally rich neighbourhoods. This half-day tour goes beyond the Instagram moments to reveal the deep history and living culture of the Cape Malay community.
Your local guide โ a Bo-Kaap resident โ will walk you through cobblestone streets, sharing stories of the community's 300-year heritage, from the arrival of enslaved people from Southeast Asia to today's vibrant multicultural identity.
The culinary highlight is a hands-on Cape Malay cooking class in a local home, where you'll learn to prepare traditional dishes like bobotie, samoosas, and koeksisters. The experience concludes with a feast of your creations paired with traditional rooibos tea.
