Life After Apartheid

More than 10 years have passed since South Africa's first democratic election, and much has been done to rectify the sombre effects from the apartheid era. Crime is still a problem, houses are still too few, there's still a lack of running water or ablutions for many South Africans. However, it's not as bad as it was and things are on the mend.

Why not visit South Africa yourself and discover first hand how the locals have experienced the transition from oppression to freedom? You can see how people are moving forward and are following Nelson Mandela's example of attaining resolution instead of restitution; an attitude that has earned him world-wide awe and respect.

The Cape Care Route is made up of 21 individual destinations situated in and around the greater Cape Town area, each one showcasing their unique ability to promote the link between people, culture and the environment.

Our Guests are shown how the communities are uplifting themselves, improving their quality of life, developing skills to build their own homes, growing food & vegetables, turning waste materials into arts & crafts, recycling waste and simultaneously rehabilitating and protecting sensitive ecological systems.

An important focus of the Cape Care Route is on projects that show how the partnerships between our Guests, business, government and the communities themselves are helping to protect the rich natural resources of Cape Town and provide healthier and cleaner living environments in poor communities.

Join us for a day and see what a difference your visit makes!
