IN SEARCH OF INCREDIBLE
Off the beaten track. Into the story.
Some of the best travel experiences aren’t the most obvious ones.
Johannesburg | Cape Town | Wilderness | Kwazulu-Natal | Northern Cape | Mpumulanga | Garden Route
WHY THE SIDE STREET?
The main road gets you there. The side street helps you understand the place.
We prefer the turn-off. The neighbourhood café somebody told us about. The artist working behind an ordinary-looking door. The storyteller who explains why a place matters, not simply what it is called. The guide who changes the way you see a destination.
That’s where travel gets interesting.
Welcome to Side Street Adventures.
WHERE WE’RE SEARCHING
We seek out remarkable people, unexpected places and experiences with stories worth telling.
From Johannesburg’s creative streets and layered history to the forests, viewpoints and local characters of Wilderness, and so many places in between.
Side Street Adventures is for travellers who would rather discover something memorable than simply tick another attraction off a list.
EXPERIENCES WORTH TAKING THE TURN-OFF FOR
WHAT MAKES A SIDE STREET ADVENTURE?
People
The people who share their world with us make travel personal.
Place
An experience should belong where it happens.
Story
We want to understand the why, not simply photograph the where.
The Unexpected
Something that makes you turn a corner and look again.
UNEXPECTED, NOT UNCERTAIN.
Off the beaten track doesn’t mean poorly organised. We seek out distinctive experiences with credible people, thoughtful arrangements and a commitment to making the journey enjoyable.
THE EXPERIENCES MAY CHANGE. THE PERSONAL TOUCH DOESN’T.
Side Street Adventures began with local people showing visitors a different side of Wilderness. That personal approach remains at the heart of what we do.
