JOBURG FLASH! 1 hour flash tours of the inner city, our new website launch and Greenhouse Project, Joubert Park Fundraiser....yay!
Past Experiences LOVES the Jozi Inner City!
And we would like to get as many people as possible into the city on Saturday the 24th September (Heritage Day) experiencing and using their inner city!
We have organised a morning of fun tours aimed at locals (budget friendly) to get you out and about and into the inner city! We are also launching our new fab and interactive website. We decided that the best way to launch our website was to involve you the public who have been so awesome over the last 2,5 years and to give back to the city we love.
We are going to do this by donating R10 of every ticket sold to the wonderful inner city Greenhouse Project that is based in Joubert Park!
Tours on the day!
We will be doing 4 1 hour tours on the day!
They are perfect for those who love the city or for those who have not ventured into the city for decades.
All the tours are 1 hour and the idea is for you to come on one or as many of these tours as possible! Each tour will focus on a particular area or theme or person.
At 9h30-10h30 you can choose between 2 tours:
Mandela's Joburg (Guide: Jo)

More details on the project:

The project has three main focus areas:
•To demonstrate development practices which will sustain people and the environment;
•To support organisations working to improve the urban environment, particularly community-based organisations (CBOs); and
•To disseminate information that will enable individuals to improve the quality of life in their community in a sustainable manner.
