After slavery was abolished, their  descendants, known as the Cape Malay’s, settled here.

Our drive today will include the country’s principal wine  routes of Paarl, Stellenbosch and Franschhoek, with a stop en route for lunch (for own  account).  

Our day starts with a visit to Paarl where you will be struck by the beauty of the Valley,  the pristine blue sky, the rolling vineyards, and the Pearl of Paarl set high above the  valley. Paarl made headlines when President Mandela was released from the Groot  Drakenstein prison (ex-Victor Verster), on the outskirts of the town, to freedom and the  start of the new South Africa. We enjoy a wine, cheese, and cellar tour at one of the  local estates.  

From Paarl, we’ll continue north-west to the beautiful village of Franschhoek, near the  Drakenstein Mountains founded in 1688 by French immigrants fleeing the Huguenot  religious persecution in Europe.

Here we will stop for lunch (for own  account) and another wine tasting at a vineyard.  

We’ll then head to Stellenbosch, the second oldest town in South Africa and the historic  heart of the country’s wine region. In 1679, Dutch East India Company governor Simon  van der Stel, recognized the fertility of this long valley on the banks of the Eerste River,  as perfect for vineyards. The rest is history, which has been carefully cultivated in this  

town. A gracious blend of 18th-century Cape Dutch, Georgian and Victorian buildings is  evident on Dorp Street, where massive oaks still shade original water furrows. Enjoy a  final wine tasting before returning to Cape Town.

Join us for a unique experience travelling through the three South Africa’s – The birth,  where it all started, Apartheid South Africa, what happened then – the New South Africa,  what is different since Nelson Mandela was released from prison.  

Departing from Cape Town city centre, the first stop is in the Bo Kaap. Here we discuss  the arrival of an expedition of Dutch sailors in 1652 that proved to be a monumental  turning point in the South African history. Taking a short walk along the romantic cobble  stone streets between the brightly coloured homes, your tour guide explains how the  framework for racial segregation was established.  

Passing some of Cape Town’s landmarks, a short drive brings us to District 6 where we  elaborate on the next tier in the South African story i.e. Apartheid South Africa. Once in  District 6, we drive through the now decaying ruins of what once was a flourishing  mixed-race community where 60 000 people lived and worked but was demolished only  to be reserved exclusively for white people.  

The tour continues to Langa, the oldest Black African Township in Cape Town. Along  the way we elaborate on the restrictive legislation introduced by the Apartheid regime to  enforce racial segregation. On arrival in Langa, we have a photo stop at the site that  commemorates the student uprising of 1976; discuss the Pass Laws and the barracks  built for African migrant workers.  

If conducted on a Sunday morning, the tour includes a short visit to one of the local  churches. Here guests are immersed into the charisma and vibrancy of how religion is  practiced in the townships.  

While in Langa, we also share the miracle of our country when Nelson Mandela  convinced us to forgive so that we can free ourselves. We also offer our groups a  greater understanding of Shanty Town that exploded with the massive migration of  mothers and children into the cities restoring black dignity at the end of Apartheid.  The Sunday morning tour includes a visit to a church service in Langa.
