About local Bulelani

Fantastic experience

We had a wonderful few hours with Bulelani who was a brilliant guide getting us to chomp our way under the skin of cape town. An excellent mix of history and modern culture while also being great company. Highly recommended.

Wonderful time with Parinita

We spent 2 days walking with Parinita and got a great exposure to the old part of the city. She was knowledgeable, friendly and a pleasure to be with. She had a plan but also made adjustments to accommodate any request we made.
