In Kayamandi, your guide will take you on a leisurely walk to meet local artists and entrepreneurs. The interaction is inspiring and helps you gain insights into the lifestyle of millions of South Africans. Take your camera, because you will be greeted by many friendly faces.

At the end of the walk, delicious fragrances will welcome you into a family home. Lunch consists out of simple, yet mouth-watering Xhosa dishes which you will have helped prepare.

At around 13h00, good-byes will be exchanged between new friends before you are transferred back to central Stellenbosch with a full tummy and a warmed heart.
