Join us for an unforgettable 12-day, 11-night adventure in Johannesburg and Cape Town inspired by Trevor Noah’s book “Born A Crime.” Go beyond the typical tourist path, focusing on the rich history, culture, and ingenuity of Black South Africans.
Learn about the complexities of South Africa’s past as we walk the streets of Soweto alongside local guides, experiencing firsthand the energy and spirit of this iconic township that shaped Trevor Noah’s childhood. Explore Vilakazi Street, once home to Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu. Visit Johannesburg’s artistic underground in Maboneng and Victoria Yards, dynamic hubs that showcase up-and-coming artists, innovative chefs, and inspiring local entrepreneurs who are shaping the city’s future.
Explore Cape Town’s stunning natural beauty, from Cape Peninsula where penguins roam on Boulder’s beach to the vibrant V&A Waterfront where you can catch waterside views of Table Mountain. Indulge in delicious food in a Cape Malay cooking class, sip wine at two Black-owned wineries, meet locals at a South African braai and game night, and discover the rich culture of Cape Town through visits to local Black-owned businesses and historical sites.
