Have you heard of snoek? Injeera? Koesusters? Daaltjies? Ulusu? Umngqusho?

These are just some of the foods in Cape Town.

With the incredible diversity of people in the city, you can imagine the kind of diversity of foods we have. So the Cuisine Route was designed to give guests the chance to explore the city through food. It’s a great lense.

On this half day experience you will sample the flavours and stories behind several of the different cultural foods of the city, from street food to chisa nyamas or hot meat bars to traditional home-cooked cuisine.

The tour generally including food elements across a wide ambit of Cape Town, including the historic city, and townships such as Langa and Guguletu.

Situated on the slopes of Table Mountain lies Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens. This is one of those peaceful spots which will make you forget you are in a big city. The garden boasts 2,500 species of plants found on the Cape Peninsula, with the Protea garden as an absolute highlight.

Kirstenbosch is a favourite among locals and visitors for many reasons: picnics on the lawns, hiking along the trails and taking in the panoramic views from the canopy walkway.
