New Year greetings from Makana Tourism
January is the half-way point in our Financial Year and a time to reflect on the work and projects that Makana Tourism has done and been involved with since last July and the Festival.
Did you know that in the past six months, Grahamstown/Makana has had approximately 251 events including talks, lectures, sporting fixtures, fetes, dinners and musical performances?
Please check Tourism’s website daily for the latest events in our area: www.grahamstown.co.za.
Makana Tourism had its AGM in October and we voted in a new board with sub-committees to deal with specific areas of focus such as finance, events and membership.
A fun membership evening followed in November at the 49ers Restaurant in the Pepper Grove Mall where we were royally treated.

Call our office today for more information.
Makana Tourism sells bus tickets for City to City and Translux buses. We offer friendly service and no queues. We can exchange and refund tickets, but only if the tickets are bought from our office.
