‘We never wanted to just run a backpackers, we always wanted to make a difference.’ - Toni
Lee and I (Toni) began South Africa’s original backpacker back in 1990, after Lee had to leave Australia due to visa constraints and I was tired of working with heartless people! I moved onto Lee’s turf in Sea Point when I was 14 and 30 years later we have proved the books wrong – that best friends can do business together.
There were not too many backpackers around in the early 90’s. South Africa was not a free country, but Nelson Mandela had just been released! The majority of South Africans were ecstatic! We used to bribe the train master with a 6 pack of beer ever Friday, to lure anyone sporting a backpack to come our way. Our little VW beetle was the shuttle. The traveler had time – staying with us for 3 months or more….the average stay in Cape Town is now 3 days!
