Africa Private and Small Group Walking Tours
Birthplace of human life and teeming with natural wonders
This vast continent, believed to be the cradle of human civilization, is home today to over 50 countries and numerous ethnic groups, languages, and cultures, as well as many diverse ecosystems, including wetlands, deserts, and jungles. Many of Africa’s countries were formed by European colonizers in the late 19th century, and shaped before that by the Atlantic slave trade.
The turbulent history of South Africa, located on the continent’s southern tip, stands out as an example of this horrific legacy. Since the 1990s, the country has begun the process of shedding its long-established system of apartheid, or legal institutionalized racism, that was directed by Dutch and British colonizers towards the local Bantu people.

I had seen most of the sites Joline showed via a self-service tour. Joline provided such greater depth and knowledge that I felt I was attending for the first time. Her knowledge of the history and personal perspective was only exceeded by the warmth of her personality and humanity. She is an excellent guide with a beautiful spirit. I was enriched by the tour but I am a better person after meeting her.

We were extremely happy with this. Lesley was an excellent guide with deep knowledge on historical, cultural and political issues. At the end of the tour we felt we not only had a feel for the layout of the city but, more importantly, an understanding of its evolution. We would highly recommend this tour.

Joline was excellent! We loved her comprehensive explanation of the history of Cape Town and her ability to bring it to life with stories of individuals, as well as her own life. I am excited to purchase her book and learn more about this fascinating place.
