Description

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.
