Calabash Tours, Gqeberha

Hence the name- Calabash Tours. In African culture the Calabash is a useful object, used in the making of music, drinking of Umqomboti (African Beer), carrying of water, storage of seeds etc. As a company we wanted to reflect usefulness to both the communities we serve, as well as the clients we serve. This has been the balancing act we have walked in the last number of years.

Today Calabash Tours has hosted thousands of visitors to Port Elizabeth's township areas, developed a core of quality staff from the communities, created innumerable opportuinities for Township residents to participate in the tourism industry, and affected hundreds of poor peoples lives. This is Pro Poor Tourism in action.

Today the company is owned and driven by a collective of core individuals, each uniquely dedicated to the vision of doing good profitable business, while meeting our social responsibility of making tourism everyone's business.
