The concept of Local Knowledge was derived from three underlying desires: The first was the goal of sharing the true beauty of Cape Town. The second was to show people the city through the founders’ own eyes - a local’s perspective. The third was to remind people (both South African and international) how incredible the country as a whole actually is.

Local Knowledge is a lifestyle brand that acts as a canvas of creativity and passion. It is more than just a company; it is an expression of style and a collaboration of individuality and a sense of community. It is an authentic, innovative and youthful brand that promotes the local concept of ‘being stoked.’ By combining three different styles and personalities, the three owners have created something that is truly authentic and original. They’re not a tour guide company; they  are local hosts that want to show new friends the best time, and to their guests, the ‘real Cape Town.’ They are proudly South African and aim to constantly celebrate the rainbow nation.

Our previous internship manager.

Travel has the capacity to enhance one's empathy, understanding and acceptance of others by exposing people to different perspectives, cultures and ways of life. It's real-world, practical education through meaningful connections. It is undeniable that authentic, ethical and sustainable travel has a massive effect on local economies. iXperience interns joined us to help build our mission, and we had such a wonderful experience with them that we made offers to two students post-program to join our team full-time.

What makes our company unique when compared to teams performing a similar capability in other companies is that we place more emphasis on the algorithmic and theoretical knowledge. Practically, while SQL and other database management skills are necessary, those skills are assumed rather than celebrated, whereas implementing a bleeding edge version of XGBoost or having a new insight into an algorithm is celebrated.
