Forget what you think you know about Joburg. Join Ryan Enslin as he explores its vibrant backstreets and studios, uncovering a thriving art scene and a city brimming with creativity, resilience and colour, far richer that the headlines suggest.

There are few ways to experience Joburg as intimately as from the saddle of a bicycle. The city reveals herself differently when you’re moving slowly enough to truly notice. Glass towers give way to mural-splashed facades and forgotten corners pulse with unexpected creativity. As you pass people on the street, smiles come easily, hands lift in greeting and Joburg’s spirit begins to speak.

Leading this dialogue is Kennedy Tembo, founder of Micro Adventure Tours, a man whose love for the city runs as deep as the gold mines it was built on. Kennedy is a storyteller on two wheels, a curator of Joburg’s hidden narratives whose tours reveal the city’s beating heart.
