We believe…

That Cape Town is the most beautiful city in the world, brimming with stories as diverse as its nature. Yet it suffers from a range
of social ills.

Our mission is to create world-class walking tours that celebrate our diversity, history and natural beauty, and, in turn, raise funds for local initiatives that introduce youngsters from disadvantaged backgrounds to the joy, sense of adventure and calming power of the outdoors.

We want to help them nurture a relationship with the outside world, which can improve their sense of wellbeing and ultimately, hopefully, lead to better conservation of our wild spaces too.
