Ich bin ein Sohn der 6. Generation, der in Bokaap geboren wurde. Unsere Gemeinde stammt von Sklaven und politischen Exilanten aus dem Fernen Osten ab. Als registrierter Reiseführer in Kapstadt biete ich Wandertouren im Citybowl und Bokaap an und teile die Geschichte und Kultur unserer Gemeinde mit der Welt. Ich würde Ihnen gerne unsere Nachbarschaft zeigen. Ich habe eine starke Verbindung zur weiteren Gemeinde. Ich bin Direktor des Bokaap-Tourismusverbands und Direktor des Bokaap Helpers Garden, einer gemeinnützigen Organisation in der Stadt, die sich auf Gemeinschaftsgärten konzentriert. Ich kenne Robben Island sehr gut, da ich dort auch über 10 Jahre gelebt habe.
roots in the area, which truly enhanced our experience. He shared fascinating insights into Cape Malay history and its vibrant community. During our visit, we explored a mosque and even went to his auntie’s house, where we savored her delightful koeksisters. As we wandered through Bo-Kaap, Illyas provided captivating explanations of both the past and present situations in the area and Cape Town. His warmth, deep knowledge, and sense of humor made our time with him unforgettable. It was a wonderful morning that we cherished on our second day in Cape Town. Thank you, Illyas! If you ever find yourself in Perth, please reach out to us.
Good inside view to the Bo-Kaap Cape Malay neighborhood, visiting not only the tourist sights of colorful houses but also learning the stories behind the place from someone whose family lived there for generations
Ilyas gave me a private tour in Bo-Kaap. He told me very impressively about the story of Bo-Kaap. He showed me the oldest mosques and introduced me to some of his friends and family. I was even able to try the Koesister specialty, which was incredibly delicious. I can only advise everyone to book a tour with Ilyas. It will be very informative and delicious. If someone is interested in volunteer projects, he is also the right contact person.
Es war eine sehr interessante Führung mit viel Detailwissen. Schöne Atmosphäre und viele, viele Informationen.
