Established in 1999, Atamela—which means “to come closer” or “to come together”—offers authentic cultural experiences with a German-speaking tourist guide in Johannesburg and a German-speaking guide in Soweto. Our tours focus on connecting people by building bridges between Africans, white South Africans, and international visitors. Through meaningful interactions and insights into the culture and people of South Africa, we create opportunities for intercultural learning and genuine human connection.
