Step by Step
Immerse yourself in two of the most vibrant and authentic areas of greater Pretoria/Johannesburg with this food tour. In Yeoville, one of South Africa's most diverse suburbs, you'll walk among shops, street food stalls and eateries where people from all over the continent have lived together for decades. Here you will learn how migration has shaped the culinary and social offerings of the suburb.
You'll move to the Maboneng Precinct, a rejuvenated district that fuses street art, galleries and trendy cafes. As you stroll through its colourful murals, you'll sample African specialities reinterpreted in signature restaurants, feeling the creative pulse of Johannesburg.
Each stop on the tour includes a generous sampling of at least four different dishes: from South African boerewors (sausage stew) to Zimbabwe's hearty chilli-goetta, and from Nigerian jollof rice to Cameroonian fufu. Each dish is accompanied by the history of its origin and anecdotes about the communities that introduced it to the city.
This tour is the perfect introduction for first-time visitors to the area or for curious foodies looking for a sensory journey without leaving the city.
