The vibrant Bo Kaap, is a neighbourhood known for its rich cultural heritage and striking rows of brightly painted houses dating back to the 17th century. As we wander the cobbled streets, we’ll explore local boutiques that champion the “local is lekker” ethos. Eco-friendly, handmade, and deeply rooted in Cape Town’s artisan spirit. Along the way, we stop at the iconic Atlas Trading Company, a family-run spice shop where fragrant mounds of spice blends tell the story of Cape Malay cuisine. This journey through scent and flavour continues with street-side tastings of local favourites like samosas, chilli bites, and the sweet, spiced koesister, each bite a taste of tradition and community.
