We introduce participants to authentic cultural experiences in South Africa, often with a “hands-on” participation aspect using cooking, music, arts and crafts. The core of Andulela’s responsible tourism concept is to maintain a long-term balance between the different needs of the traveler in South Africa and those of the region visited. By booking with us, you directly contribute to the conservation of South Africa’s natural environments and help to develop the scope of Cape Town’s local communities.

Stir Crazy is the oldest and only truly hands-on cooking school in Cape Town. The cooking school offers social and interactive gatherings where people can either get involved in a hands-on interactive cooking experience, or alternatively be hosted for a South African dinner at a local home, where they engage with the hosts over a tantalising and delicious meal. Cooking courses include South African cooking classes, and virtually every kind of cooking style you can imagine, from Creole to Cambodian, Indian to Asian. Your hosts are seasoned chefs who know the ins and outs of the culinary scene in Cape Town, and can also impart knowledge on locally produced fare and mini culinary excursions such as craft beers, wines, etc. We offer upmarket catering, private chef services and hosted dinners in Cape Town, as well as team building classes and corporate functions.

IMAGINE ….. a place where the creative energy and the vibrancy of Cape Town come alive in an authentic fish factory in a working harbour …. where people of all ages and cultures gather alongside one another to celebrate our unique South African spirit …. where the hustle and bustle of a boisterous market fills the air …… where local traders exchange banter with customers …. “that’s a bargain, fo sho!” … an eclectic stylish wonderland of exquisite art, craft, jewellery and fashion …. complemented by the delicious aromas of food to tempt all the senses…freshly baked breads, spicy seafood and citrus fruits … you pass a robotic mime drawing gasps from giggling kids … the sound of a township guitarist and a groovy sax …… punctuated by singing seagulls …. where the famous beauty of Chapman’s Peak looms overhead ………. and the vibe is just sommer lekker!
