About the Tour

Take a stroll with me through the heart of Clanwilliam. Meet some of the locals, hear about the town's red gold, invest in some veldskoene, and sample perhaps the best biltong in South Africa.

Clanwilliam is one of the ten oldest towns in South Africa. It's the perfect base for excursions into the Cederberg and and a charming example of old-world hospitality at the edge of the Karoo.

How VoiceMap Works

Focus on your surroundings, not the screen
The VoiceMap app uses GPS to play audio automatically, at the right time and place, so you can focus on your surroundings, not the screen.
Follow a route with turn-by-turn-directions
VoiceMap tours follow a route from a fixed starting point. That lets us give turn-by-turn directions and use context to tell a better story.
Resume playback to go at your own pace
If you'd like to stop for a drink or go into a museum, end your tour then use the Resume feature to pick up exactly where you left off.
Listen as many times as you like
You can listen to your tours as often as you like using both the VoiceMap app and website.
Take virtual tours anywhere, like a podcast
Select Virtual mode in the VoiceMap app to listen to tours like a podcast - at home or in transit.
Buy for less on voicemap.me and sync
Once you've purchased a tour, it's added to your VoiceMap library. To access it in the app, just sign in using the same account.
Do tours without paying for data
Tours work offline, so you don't have to pay roaming fees. Just download them over WiFi before you get started.

Tips

Places to stop along the way

Nancy's Tearoom, Old Gaol, Ramskop Butchery, Strassberger Shoe Factory, Yellow Aloe

Best time of day

Anytime between morning and sunset, except in summer when its best to avoid going out in the mid-day, as it can get thoroughly hot. The Clanwilliam Museum inside the Old Gaol is open on weekdays from 8am to 12:30pm and on Saturday from 9am to 12pm. Busy Saturday mornings are a great time to experience the vibe of the town.

Precautions

Clanwilliam is a small and friendly town but always be safety conscious. Make sure you wear sunscreen, carry water, and wear a hat. If possible, avoid the mid-day heat in summer.

“Great app. walk around at your own pace, stop where you want, move on or speed up when you want. Read the script before you go or during the commentary, speed it up or replay it. Repeat the tour whenever you like.”
