Coffeebeans Experiences

Choral Music Safari, Cape Town

The Choral Music Safari takes small groups into the homes of choral duos and trios in the city.

Private Tour

Duration: Evening

The Choral Music Safari takes small groups into the homes of choir duos and trios to experience the heart of South Africa's rich vocal traditions.

While groups like the Soweto Gospel Choir share these evocative harmonies globally, this experience explores the tradition through two intimate home concerts. We move between worlds, typically featuring isiXhosa traditional and gospel-inspired music in one home, and the unique Cape Malay choral tradition in another.

The evening is divided into two parts: a home-cooked dinner accompanied by music, followed by a nightcap in the home of a second choir group. We work with esteemed groups such as the Guguletu Gospel Stars and the Beystars Cape Malay Choir.

Most dietary needs are catered to with advance notice.

This experience is best suited for:

  • Music lovers interested in sacred and traditional vocal harmonies.
  • Travelers seeking deep, domestic engagement with local artists.
  • Those interested in the diverse cultural history of the Cape.
