Giving Back with the Best Hostel in Africa: THE BACKPACK

This show was recorded in the Backpack Hostel, located in the
heart of Cape Town, South Africa. Mandela sits down with, Lee
Harris, one of the owners of this multi-award winning backpacker
& African travel center. Lee shares the story of starting
this hostel with her best friend in 1990 during an Apartheid
government.


The Backpack has won countless awards including Best Hostel in
South Africa for 2020. The Backpack is an award winning, Fair
Trade hostel that invests in people and communities, giving
meaningful and relaxed travel experiences. The Backpack are proud
members of Pack for a Purpose, an initiative that allows
travelers like you to make a lasting impact in the community at
your travel destination. If you save just a few kilos of space in
your suitcase and bring supplies for our community project,
the GCU Academy, you’ll make a priceless impact in the lives of
our local children and families. Once we are able to travel
again, The Trail Less Traveled highly recommends a visit to South
Africa's western cape and while you're there book a stay in The
Backpack. www.backpackers.co.za
