Most people know the area as the neighborhood with the colorful houses, but it's really so much more than that. Let me know what you think. And thanks for watching.
Great video! What a beautiful area of Cape Town with a fascinating history. Looking forward to trying some Malay food when I visit Cape Town next... 😃
We've earmarked a few good spots in preparation. Hopefully soon
A community full of stories! Love it, love the Bo-Kaap and looking forward to visiting again soon.
Stories for days. ❤️
"You are actually seeking a partnership in the morning with someone''. That. Congratulations on capturing this essence.
Exactly. Thanks for watching.
It was so amazing getting into the authenticity of the heritage story of this community. Enjoy working with Neil on the stories of people and places for the African Travel Crew YouTube Channel.
Bo Kaap, such an important part of Cape Town. We drive past it often, have visited it many times. What we didn't hear are all the extraordinary stories. Hope this is one of many that I'll hear.
Great video that helps explain the true story of the area as well as the cultural viability and importance it plays in tourism in Cape Town, the rainbow nation!
Thank you
