This wasn’t your typical fancy dinner. There were no menus to read, no views to admire and no checking your phone under the table. Guests, including Executive Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis, members of the Mayoral Committee, and tourism partners, were invited to enjoy their meal in pitch-black darkness, stepping into a space where assumptions were challenged, conversations deepened, and senses heightened.
One of the evening’s special guests was Winston Fani, South Africa’s first blind tourist guide and owner of Out of Sight Tours. Winston is at the heart of the Limitless Cape Town movement, not only championing accessible tourism for visitors but also proving that tourism must create space for differently abled entrepreneurs to thrive as business owners in a highly competitive industry.
“When you remove sight from the experience, you remove assumptions,” says Enver Duminy, CEO of Cape Town Tourism. “Dinner in the Dark is about more than a meal. It’s a reminder that innovation, accessibility and inclusion must be at the centre of everything we do if we want to create a city where everyone feels seen, heard and valued.”
The evening also shed light on the vital work of the Cape Town Society for the Blind, whose partnership reminded everyone that inclusion isn’t just a concept, but something that's built together.
“Inclusive tourism is the future of travel,” adds James Vos, Mayoral Committee Member for Economic Growth. “With Limitless Cape Town, we are doing more than promoting a destination; we are reimagining tourism itself — bold, barrier-free, and open to everyone.”
Dinner in the Dark is one of the standout experiences under the Limitless Cape Town banner, a campaign and a commitment to rethinking tourism in a way that’s inclusive, innovative, and deeply human.
