  District Six Museum

  At District Six Museum, since you are not entering, clients are briefed from the outside on the history and significance of the site.

Over 60,000 people were forcibly removed and their homes demolished. Point out that the museum nearby preserves this memory and stands as a symbol of loss and resilience. From the stop, clients learn about the human impact of forced removals, the destruction of a community, and ongoing efforts toward recognition and restitution.

  Castle of Good Hope

  At our final stop, we are at the Castle of Good Hope, the oldest surviving colonial building in South Africa, built between 1666 and 1679 by the Dutch East India Company.
