About
Get immersed in this experience hosted by a local changemaker! Enter the inspiring world underneath Cape Town's touristy surface.
A Side by Side experience is the perfect, hands-on way to escape the tourist trap, live like a local, and make an impact. A percentage of every booking goes directly back to the changemakers we've partnered with in the form of year-end gifts: equipment, bursaries, and cash grants.
To ensure your changemaker-hosted experience runs smoothly and guests' every last need is met, an SbS guide will be by your side throughout, from pick-up to drop-off (if you add the Hotel Pickup add-on). Your guide will provide you all the background info you need to know and settle the entrance fees on your behalf.
Optionally add the Photoshoot add-on for HD pics/vids of you in action sent by Google Drive same day.
Learn, laugh, imagine, bond, and come away a changed person after sharing this experience with some seriously inspiring locals.

- Kevin F0 contributionsI have been #ripoffI was waiting at the pickup location and no one came. So I tried to contact the tour operators and that was futile. The operators did not contact me, I am labeling this tour as a SCAM . I think TripAdvisor should remove this tour from there siteWritten 6 June 2024

- Liliana D0 contributionsAmazing!What a remarkable place! The food was amazing! Authentic Portuguese gastronomy. If you enjoy food the way it's supposed to taste, without all the spices and garlic overpowering the awesome taste of the food you are ordering, this is the place for you! Amazing food from the appetizers to the dessert! Great atmosphere and top notch service! Loved all the details and charm it had to offer! Went for our anniversary and they went above and beyond our expectations Would definitely recommend it to everyone looking for a quaint place to celebrate or just for a great meal!Written 9 September 2023
- E8882HRjasminem0 contributionsEnjoyed my “day in the life” experienceI had the opportunity to join Jason in the Langa Township in Cape Town, South Africa. First of all, they show him so much love there! You can tell he put in time building relationships. I got to tag along while he ran some errands and he taught me some Xhosa and took a few photos of me. The photo shoot portion was a little rushed at the end because there was a lot going on, but he made sure I got to and away from the Township safely, which is super important. The Xhosa lesson was focused on common greetings, which I loved. He even made sure I practiced with some of the folks nearby a bit! Great job, Jason.Written 8 January 2023
- ReneeBeverly0 contributionsAmazing and life-changing experienceAs an American traveling to South Africa for the first time, I can honestly say that the township tour with Jason, Thulani, and Sisa was the highlight of my trip. This was an eye opening experience into the historical and current day impacts of systemic displacement and segregation of the Black and brown community of Cape Town. Everyone we met was warm, welcoming, knowledgeable, and eager to share their personal experiences with us. I learned more during this tour than any amount of learning/reading I could have done had I not stepped foot in a township. Thank you Jason, Thulani, Sisa, Chuma, and Ma Jean for opening up your world to me. I am forever grateful! I HIGHLY recommend this experience for any and everyone travelling to Cape Town!!Written 3 December 2022
- KonstanzeCaterina0 contributionsAmazing ExperienceIt was such an amazing wonderful experience🤩 Brenda was a great guide, we learned so much from her and connected with wonderful people thanks to her - we had a great time, anytime again!Written 12 November 2022
- 0331mimmy0 contributionsAwesomeSide by side tours or is truly an immersion in the history and culture of Africa. Brenda guided me through the township of Langa both in her car and on foot. She was exceptional not only because of her honest sharing of her experience as a woman, a black woman, who grew up in South Africa but she provided real and honest feedback. It was truly a life changing experience! Meeting Brenda alone is spirit and life changing!Written 11 November 2022
- terishac20200 contributionsHighly Recommended ExperienceThis was one of my favorite experiences on our visit. Thulani was extremely knowledgeable on the history and culture of South Africa and we enjoyed the wine tasting and food. Jason and all involved were professional and made sure we had a great time. Highly recommended!Written 20 April 2022
- Kayray980 contributionsLovely eveningJasons’ family was very welcoming! Home was lovely. Thulani was amazing! It wasn’t a question about South Africa that he couldn’t answer!Written 5 April 2022
- 642rickyn0 contributionsTownship TourMe and 2 friends had a great experience of the Township ( Lalanga ) with Jason (volofu/Woolf). He has great local knowledge, the whole town knows him especially the youngsters. And we had a very warm welcome being with him, and felt very safe. His colleague Buja was born a bred in the town and he’s a local businessman who turned his life around, having him around, just put the icing on the cake. with his insights into township life and growing up there etc. I would highly recommend the experience!Written 30 March 2022

- nandim20220 contributionsSnorkelling experienceMy favourite part was definitely the sea part, even though I couldn't swim I had a lot of fun and learned a lot about the sealife on the rocks. I also loved the photoshoot add on as we could capture memories inside the water and outside in clear, HD pictures.Written 2 January 2022
