It all began in the month of April 2012 when someone I know introduced me to Nowahala Tours who invited my wife and I to a meeting for discussions and we later joined the group as member. We decided to make our first visit to South Africa, Cape Town at the end of October 2012. (Thanks to Themba, Joan and Abigail of Nowahala Tours and Nowahala Tours for their assistance)

Our journey to Cape Town was a memorable one. We were met on arrial at the airport as early as 05:00 (local time) by Mr Philip, a trustworthy tour guide. He’s accommodating and friendly nature soon put our fears to rest of a possible horrible reception. Mr Philip made our stay in Cape Town memorable. He ensured we bought our essential goods from the best and most affordable shops. After a very quick mini-tour of the city centre we stopped over at the Paddox Centre Shopping mall for groceries and provisions. Mr Philip then ensured that we settled in our unit at the hotel.

On Sunday we were assisted by Mr Philip to locate a Christian church where we attended a wonderful service. After church Mr Philip took us to the V&A Waterfront and Aquarium which was a fantastic tourist place with various cultures merging as one single community in a wonderful carnival atmosphere. Mr Philip explained to us the details of all the work of arts and grotesque buildings and institutions. We embarked on a topless bus to take a trip to lower Table Mountain and do some sight seeing through the city.

Monday Mr Philip took us on a Winelands tour where we visited wine and olive farms, we tasted the fruit and bought pure olive oil direct from the farm. Our visit to Canal Walk was also very impressive. The climax of our visit to Cape Town was the Peninsula tour. We visited the most South Western tip of Africa, where we could see the Indian and Atlantic Oceans merging. It was awesome! The twist and turns drive through the mountains and the beautiful beaches made the trip to be very exciting.

Let me not forget Mr Philip’s assistance in helping us to get a very good medical doctor who gave assistance to us to get the medicine that was needed by my wife.

This was indeed a memorable trip. I recommend such trips with Nowahala Tours to our busy working class as a good choice for their vacation.
