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.
The tour with Mr Muhammad was very personalized and relaxed. We were welcomed with warm hugs into people’s homes and learned about community initiatives taking place. Our guide himself is a piece of history as he and his family are from Bokaap, therefore the storytelling was fascinating. Muhammed’s knowledge was vast and he was able to answer any questions we had. The tour gave us a good understanding and appreciation of a very unique and vibrant place and community and we appreciate all the time given to us. Highly recommend.
Great Tour through Bo-Kaap, learning about the history and the community there. I was the only one who booked the tour that day but Muhammad still was so nice to give the tour anyways which he wouldn't have had to do. Sharing his personal ties to the community and the neighbourhood and talking about Bo-Kaaps history, he made a great tour guide. If you want to learn more about Bo-Kaap than simply looking at colourful houses this is the tour to book. Highly recommend!
Was really nice to visit a neighborhood where our guide grew up. It made the experience very personal. Definitly would recommend the tour.
