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

VoiceMap’s audio tour app uses GPS to play audio automatically, at the right time and place. Just install it, then download your tour and go to the starting point to begin your walk, drive, cycle, train trip or even boat ride.

Follow a route with turn-by-turn-directions

Tours follow a route from a fixed starting point. This is how we provide turn-by-turn directions. It also helps publishers tell a story greater than the sum of its parts. But you can use Resume to pick up a tour from the closest location whenever you like.

Listen as many times as you like

You can listen to your tours as often as you like using both the VoiceMap app and the VoiceMap website. Your access to tours doesn’t expire.

Take virtual tours anywhere

Just select Virtual mode in the VoiceMap app to listen to tours at home – or anywhere else. You’ll see the option after you download the tour. You can also listen to the whole tour at voicemap.me.

Buy for less on voicemap.me and sync

Once you’ve purchased a tour, it’s added to your VoiceMap library. If you sign into the app using the same method you used on the website, you’ll have access to your full library of tours in both places.

Use VoiceMap offline

The VoiceMap app works entirely offline if there’s no data connection, so you don’t have to pay roaming fees. Just download the tour 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.
