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.

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.

The tour was very interesting and Joline clearly knows her subject well. She has a deep academic knowledge about South African history plus she also shares some of her family history and personal anecdotes, which fills out the story of the 20th century experience there. We enjoyed our tour and what we learned informed the rest of our trip in South Africa. Thank you Joline.
