Established in 1999, Atamela means to come closer or to come together. Our tours aim to build a bridge between Africans, white South Africans and visitors alike, through cultural experiences and by bringing people together. We also aim at making it possible for inter-cultural people to learn from each other.
Our tours are different from other guided tours or sightseeing holidays. Our tours expose you to our beautiful weather, breath-taking views, and historical landmarks. In addition, Atamela Tours will give you the cultural encounter of a lifetime, exposing you to the heart of our diverse culture and its people. The main focus of our tours is to bring people, whilst making it possible for them to learn from each other.
Atamela Tours was founded in the township of Soweto in Johannesburg, which it still warmly calls home. The founder of Atamela Tours, Miss Thuli Khumalo, has also lived and worked in Germany for 6 years. This exposure and unique mix of African and European cultures, combine to deliver a richer and more diverse tourist experience through Atamela Tours.
We prefer quality over quantity. Each of our tours shows you a snapshot of the real Africa. Our tours aim to bring people together and connecting people with different characters as well as diverse backgrounds from all over the world. We encourage learning from one another in order to appreciate each another.
