In the heart of Cape Town City the Bo-Kaap, or the Malay Quarter, captures the spirit and culture of a community known as the Cape Malays. The Cape Malays, or Cape Muslim community, has largely contributed to the making of the City's cultural melting pot.

An interactive guided walk with our knowledgeable tour guide offers us an insight into the culture, architecture and religion as well as recent political history of the Bo-Kaap community. The tour includes a traditional Cape Malay teatime snack offered at a Bo-Kaap family home.

FTTSA-certified activities consciously seek to optimise the socio-economic returns accruing to communities in which they operate. As a direct result of the interest generated by andulela’s unique tours, a number of home businesses have sprouted up in the Bo-Kaap area. Andulela’s active presence in the community also enables its team to identify projects worth assisting whether through exposure, sponsorship or investment.

FTTSA looks for evidence that a tourism product uses procurement as a developmental tool in relation to its particular context. Procurement is a mechanism for boosting local economic impact and promoting more balanced competition in the economy. Andulela Experience works with many service providers and families in the areas where its activities take place, to distribute the benefits of tourism as widely as possible and to build business linkages that diversify household income steams. Andulela also provides business and product development support by offering community-based service providers technical assistance and mentorship.
