Cultural Tours in South Africa

South Africa cultural tours

The cultural diversity of the “rainbow nation” is part of what makes South Africa such a special destination. The country’s art, architecture, music and cuisine are a fusion of African, Asian and European influences. Cultural tours in South Africa let you delve deep into the heritage, traditions and creativity of the peoples that inhabit this fascinating land.

Guided Culture Tours in South Africa

On Zulu homestead tours in KwaZulu-Natal you can get to know the lifestyle, customs and beliefs of the Zulu people and be treated to a Boma dinner with drums and rhythmic dancing. Township tours in places such as Soweto, Ulmazi and New Brighton, led by the people who live there, immerse you in the culture of these vibrant communities with their distinct identities expressed in music, art and food.

South Africa tours often go to the Drakensberg Mountains, where rock paintings like those in the main caves of Giant’s Castle Mountain serve as a window to the culture and spiritual lives of the San people who dwelled there over 40,000 years ago. For more recent art, you only have to stroll through Cape Town areas such as Woodstock to find giant, colourful street murals created by South African and international artists.

South Africa Cultural Excursions

Cultural attractions abound in South Africa’s main cities. Vibrant Cape Town is a showcase for Cape Dutch architecture, while the multicultural Bo-Kapp district is a delight to explore with its brightly coloured houses and cobbled streets. In bustling Durban you'll find a blend of Zulu, Indian and European cultures reflected in the building facades and culinary offerings. Meanwhile, the oak-lined streets of Stellenbosch, South Africa's second oldest town, are replete with historic buildings, galleries and cafés.

Travel opens doors to new cultural worlds. To explore further afield, see our full range of worldwide cultural tours.
