The Meet the People Tour, which originates in Mossel Bay, is a must. Ordinary folk are the stars of this tour that takes you from Mossel Bay's township area through the Outeniqua Foothills on rural roads not normally travelled by tourists. tcgrac

You might meet Alfred who makes bricks, Millie who makes jam out of wild watermelons and rose petals, or Janneman, a paraplegic who makes leather handbags, or Tannie Pop who runs a local spaza shop, or the Munro family who have farmed wild oysters in the area since the 1800s.

You will experience all aspects of local life as well as enjoy the stunning scenery, which make this area one of the most beautiful tours on the garden route.

As each local person who partners Back Road Safaris on the meet the people tour are conducting their daily lives, the same individuals are not available for every tour.

   Therefore when you are met by your guide for the day you will be given an overview of the tour arranged for you and the people you will meet.

The tour commences from the meeting point, moving to the KwaNonquaba-township, on the outskirts of Mossel Bay town, the guide will acquaint you with the local history of the area and its people. You will interact with some of the people who live and  work in the area.

From here we move into the spectacular Outeniqua Mountains to experience life in the rural area, the scenery on this part of the journey is stunning, and provides the opportunity to travel off the beaten track.
 
  Our journey takes us to the rural community of Friemersheim and Great Brak providing an opportunity to experience life there, before returning to Mossel Bay.

If it is required, lunch in Friemersheim can be provided as part of the tour and will cost R30 extra.
