Cape Town Uncovered: History, Culture & People- Free walking tour
I was born in KwaZulu-Natal and moved to Cape Town in 2018 to pursue my studies in Sports Management. Over the years, my passion for photography, fitness, history, and storytelling has shaped my journey. In 2025, I founded Travel Africa Right, a cultural tour company that blends history, identity, and photography to create meaningful experiences. One of my signature experiences takes you through the Company’s Garden, up Wale Street, and into the vibrant Bo-Kaap. This immersive city walk highlights the importance of understanding history to make sense of the present. Along the way, you’ll hear the rich history of the area and have the opportunity to capture its colorful beauty with complimentary professional photography. The entire experience lasts for an enriching hour.

Description
Your adventure begins at Truth Coffee, where the rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee sets the tone for a journey through Cape Town’s heart and soul. From here, we’ll step into the streets of District 6, a place filled with stories of displacement and resilience, where vibrant communities once thrived. As we move on, we’ll pass the grand City Hall, a symbol of the city’s pivotal moments, and the Slave Lodge, a powerful reminder of South Africa’s painful history.
The buzz of Greenmarket Square will surround us as we wander through its maze of local crafts, giving you a taste of the city’s thriving cultural pulse. We’ll stroll down Long Street, where the old and new collide, each corner revealing a piece of Cape Town’s rich, layered history.
Finally, we’ll make our way to the colorful Bo-Kaap, where the pastel-painted houses stand as a testament to the area’s cultural legacy and vibrant spirit. This isn’t just a walk—it’s a deep dive into the stories, struggles, and triumphs that have shaped this incredible city. Through every step, you’ll connect with Cape Town in a way that’s truly unforgettable.
