Gillian Goldman

My journey in the tourism industry began serendipitously – in the right place at the right time! With no experience and having just returned from London after exploring Europe, I found my calling in South Africa when Springbok Atlas gave me a chance. Now, 27 years later, I am grateful for all the incredible experiences I have had.

Throughout these years, I’ve had the opportunity to travel, meet diverse people, and design tailor-made tours for clients worldwide. My passion lies in discovering hidden gems – offbeat places that provide a genuinely authentic experience. Whether it’s an electrifying Hip-Hop dance showcase at the theatre or a bespoke ice cream shop with enchanting views of the Atlantic Ocean, I find joy in uncovering these treasures.

Cape Town’s vibrancy, culture, art, oceans, and striking vistas encapsulate the essence of Southern Africa – and it has become my home, my heart. Every day is an opportunity to further explore this mesmerizing city and share its wonders with travellers worldwide – and that’s why I adore my career in this beautiful corner of the world.
