Walk through Qolweni township, learn about Xhosa culture, visit a crèche, sing with children, and support local education in Plettenberg Bay.

“De tour met de gids Hazel was super. Iedereen heeft het over hoe gevaarlijk het is. We zijn heel enthousiast over de tour! Heel aandoenlijk, en ha over sommige dingen is er twijfel of het wel op de juiste plek komt, maar ook ... that's life. Zo koop he eenbrugzak met inhoud ( potloden etcetera.) voor de meest arme kinderen die geen rugzak hebben. Bij aankomst bij de school gaat de inhoud baar het kantoor van de staff. Maar we blijven het een echte aanrader vinden”
