Overview
Get immersed in this private experience hosted by a local changemaker! Enter the inspiring world underneath Cape Town's touristy surface.
A Side by Side experience is the perfect, hands-on way to escape the tourist trap, live like a local, and make an impact. A percentage of every booking goes directly back to the changemakers we've partnered with in the form of year-end gifts: equipment, bursaries, and cash grants.
To ensure your changemaker-hosted experience runs smoothly and guests' every last need is met, an SbS guide will be by your side throughout, from pick-up to drop-off (if you add the Hotel Pickup add-on). Your guide will provide you all the background info you need to know and settle the entrance fees on your behalf.
Optionally add the Photoshoot add-on for HD pics/vids of you in action sent by Google Drive same day.
Learn, laugh, imagine, bond, and come away a changed person after sharing this experience with some seriously inspiring locals.

Pickup details
Even if you don't opt for our Hotel Pickup add-on, we're still happy to send your guide to come meet you at your hotel and escort you to the activity location! That's provided you have one additional seat in your rental car or Uber.
What To Expect
One of our friendly guides will collect you from your hotel in Cape Town and you get to know each other a bit before departure. On the drive, your guide will give you some key information about where you're headed, who the community partners are, what you'll experience, and general best practices to bear in mind.
Upon arrival, you'll be greeted by the community partners and your guide will facilitate a little bit of conversation before jumping into the Upcycled Crafts Workshop.
The concept of upcycling will be explained to you, with many end-products to show as examples. Depending how long you can stay (you'll provide us that info upon booking), you'll be able to make different products and handicrafts:
1 hr (2 hrs total incl. travel to & from) — Small handicrafts, e.g. shapes, signs, ornaments, rings & earrings.
2 hrs (3 hrs total " ") — Large handicrafts, e.g. flowers, placemats
3 hrs (4 hrs total " ") — Advanced crafts, e.g. necklaces, bracelets, pieces involving beadwork and sewing.
You'll be guided every step of the way. If you're ever feeling at a loss, a community partner will step in to assist you.
Book to make new friends, fond memories, and help the community!
