Bo-Kaap Cape Malay Cooking Experience

Bo-Kaap, South Africa

Include in my safari All activities

About this experience

The Bo-Kaap, with its brightly painted houses and cobbled streets on the slopes of Signal Hill, is the historic heart of Cape Town’s Cape Malay community. A cooking experience with a local host begins with a short walk through the neighbourhood and a visit to a spice shop.

In the host’s home, you learn to cook dishes such as curry, rotis and samoosas, then share the meal and conversation about the community’s history.
