Sono un figlio di sesta generazione nato a Bokaap. La nostra comunità è discendente di schiavi ed esuli politici dall'estremo oriente. Come guida registrata a Città del Capo offro free walking tour nel citybowl e a Bokaap, condividendo la storia e la cultura delle nostre comunità con il mondo. Mi piacerebbe mostrarvi il nostro quartiere. Ho un forte legame con la comunità più ampia. Sono un direttore della Bokaap Tourism Association e un direttore del Bokaap Helpers Garden, un'organizzazione non governativa della città che si concentra sul giardinaggio comunitario. Ho una conoscenza approfondita di Robben Island, poiché ci ho vissuto per oltre 10 anni.
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.
