Cape Town Tour: Spirit of Ubuntu
What do fynbos, wine farms, climbing Table Mountain, Nelson Mandela, the poorest primary school in the country, a chef, and a world-renowned whisky maker have in common? Besides all being essential elements of an enriching South African experience— they’ve all overcome extreme adversity.
Whether you’re an entrepreneur or executive, have a family or single mum, experienced trauma, or community leader, it’s one thing to hear about building resiliency; it’s something entirely to feel it. Our immersive experience puts you in it in a way that highlights the value of a community that has both risen above adversity to succeed and continues to be steadfast against a challenging economic environment.
Join us on an extraordinary journey through Cape Town, where the spirit of Ubuntu* and the essence of resilience and hope ignite your spirit. Explore the spark of hope that transcends adversity and witness the power of a transformed perspective. Embrace the full spectrum of life, from its highs to its lows, and find joy in every moment. This is more than a tour; it's an expedition of the heart—a chance to move away from fear and start living in love.
*Ubuntu translates as "A person, is a person, because of another person." Watch a video below of Nelson Mandela talking about it.
