About Coffeebeans

Coffeebeans splashes story all over the canvas of tourism.

Stories are our currency, our stories are the equilisers, our stories shift the balance of power.

Tourism is our playground to share the stories of African cities.

We offer a range of short-form experiences in Cape Town, Johannesburg, Kigali and Nairobi, focused on contemporary urban African expression, including music, art, fashion, design, food, entrepreneurship and political history.

We are creative and cultural travel specialists, recognised by the travel industry and international press as pioneers in this sector.

We are Fair Trade certified, and multi-award winning.

We have a huge network of people – guides, cooks, musicians, artists, designers, architects, spiritual leaders, writers, landscapers, brewers, wine-makers, historians, entrepreneurs, poets, town planners, journalists… people who make what we do possible, by being willing to share their stories with the world. We are very grateful for their openness.

Coffeebeans was founded in 2005.
