Nick Hamman’s Special Edition: Taste of Africa Foodie Tour

One Night Only – 4 July 2026 | Yeoville, Johannesburg | R750 per person

For one special evening, Dlala Nje’s celebrated Taste of Africa Foodie Tour gets a unique twist. On 4 July 2026, broadcaster and storyteller Nick Hamman hosts a once-off special edition of the tour — bringing his curiosity, humour and love for Johannesburg to one of the city’s most vibrant neighbourhoods.

Together with Dlala Nje’s local guides, Hamman will lead guests on a lively culinary journey through Yeoville — Johannesburg’s unofficial African food capital. Expect great conversation, unforgettable flavours and the kind of storytelling that makes you see the city in a whole new way.

A Culinary Journey Across the Continent

Yeoville is where Africa gathers around the table. On this tour you’ll sample dishes that reflect the extraordinary diversity of the continent — from Ethiopian injera and West African jollof rice to Congolese fish dishes, grilled plantains and classic Southern African flavours.

Each stop introduces you to a different corner of Africa through food. It’s not just dinner — it’s a journey across cultures, communities and histories, all within a few vibrant city blocks.

Meet the People Behind the Food

The true magic of the Taste of Africa tour lies in the people. Guests will meet the chefs, vendors and food mamas who keep Yeoville’s kitchens alive, sharing recipes that carry generations of tradition and stories of migration, resilience and entrepreneurship.

With Nick Hamman along for the ride — asking questions, sharing laughs and soaking up the atmosphere — this special edition promises to be as entertaining as it is delicious.

Discover the Real Yeoville

Too often misunderstood, Yeoville is in fact one of Johannesburg’s most culturally rich neighbourhoods — a place where Zimbabwean, Nigerian, Ethiopian, Congolese and South African cultures mix in a uniquely Joburg way.

Guided by locals who know the area intimately, guests experience the neighbourhood as it truly is: energetic, welcoming and full of creativity.

Tourism that Creates Opportunity

Dlala Nje exists to challenge perceptions and create opportunity in Johannesburg’s inner city. By joining this special tour, you’re directly supporting the organisation’s two youth development centres at the base of Ponte Tower, which provide a safe and creative space for more than 100 children from the surrounding community.

One Night. One Table. One City.

With limited seats available, this Nick Hamman-hosted edition of the Taste of Africa tour is expected to sell out quickly.

Come hungry. Come curious. And join us for an evening where food, storytelling and Johannesburg’s remarkable inner city come together.
