African Angel Tours
South African Cultural Tourism

African Angel Tours (AAT) markets innovative South African cultural tourism packages to the international tourist market. It is a dynamic new partnership between Luke Angel (previously from Induna African Art) and Oscar Ngcobo (from Gone Rural Safari Curious).

AAT is dedicated to building the South African dream. Both of us have dedicated our lives to dismantling racial myths, borders and fears. We have always believed that cultural exchanges are the best way to build relations across the social, economic and political divides that our societies have established. We started our relationship by experimenting with using music as a weapon to cut through cultural prejudices. AAT takes these beliefs and initiatives to the next level.

We believe that Our greatest asset is ourselves. After years of directly marketing South African products overseas, we have the knowledge and experience of how to use cultural tourism to build bridges between our country and others, opening up those elusive trade linkages that really mean economic empowerment for poor communities.

AAT believes that black economic empowerment should be the core focus of South African tourism. The aim is not to have a few more low skilled jobs in an industry dominated by a few traditional big-business players. The whole point is empower previously disadvantaged individuals to start businesses that can directly benefit from the growing volume of tourist trade. We believe tourism focused on cultural exchanges makes the greatest contribution to this goal.
