About Us
Meet Your Local Guides
Hi, I’m Siphiwo Bruce Mkele, the founder and lead guide of Walmer Township Tours. I run the Tours alongside, Purity Khosa, founder of Skheto Tours and an experienced nature (marine) guide.
Based in Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth), also born and bred in Walmer Township, I’ve spent my life learning, living, and sharing the stories of my community. Walmer Township is more than just a place, it’s a vibrant hub of history, culture, and resilience. From the powerful legacy of Steve Biko and Moki Cekisa to the everyday lives of its people, every corner of the township has a story waiting to be discovered.
I started this journey to change how the world sees Walmer Township. This isn’t just a location; it’s a community woven with resilience and rich culture. With Walmer Township Tours, you don’t just see the sights, you become part of the story, meeting the people and experiencing everyday life in the township firsthand.
We also love showing visitors the wider Eastern Cape. Whether it’s an Addo Elephant Safari, a Port Elizabeth City Tour, exploring the Garden Route and Tsitsikamma National Park, or joining one of our Ocean Tours, every experience is designed to give you an authentic view of our home.
When you tour with us, you’re not just visiting, you’re joining our story. We want you to leave inspired, with a deeper understanding of our culture, history, and community, and with memories that will stay with you long after your journey ends.
