Get immersed in this 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.

I felt lucky to be brought into an experience and discussion of this nature in Langa. So important, so interesting and such a great overall experience.

I attended this roundtable discussion, hosted by 'Side by Side Experiences & Tours' as well as #LangaForMen, and left feeling really invigorated and also pensive after the many opinions and thoughts on this most important topic of Gender, Queerness, and Violence in South African societies. I am really inspired by Jason's work and his genuine passion for connecting with people and bringing them together to have meaningful discussions and interactions. I appreciate his warmth, and his ability to make people feel really at ease and comfortable, and was impressed by his ability to adapt to an unforeseen situation - when the venue he had booked for this discussion fell through at the last minute, he managed to organise a beautiful space out in the public street for the group to sit and talk, which was so spontaneous and actually really appropriate! Jason had planned some really pertinent questions to prompt discussion, and was excellent at facilitating the interactions between speakers and audience. I am looking out for his next event. Keep doing it Jason!
