Traditional South African Braai (BBQ) & Wine Masterclass

Hi there, my name is Nick & I am the co-founder of Local Knowledge Cape Tours. We are a youth travel and tour guiding company that is dedicated to doing something completely unique. We aim to move away from the norm and look to show our guests the best kept secrets that Cape Town has to offer. By avoiding the main tourist attractions, we provide an authentic experience as we ensure that our guests get emerged into the location and the culture of the places we take them. We show our guests what the locals enjoy doing on a regular basis…we show them our perspective of what this beautiful city has to offer. Although the Covid-19 Pandemic has closed our borders, we will continue to share our culture and show our international friends what it means to be South African!
