Our Township Tour offers a unique, immersive experience that takes you off the beaten tourist path and into the heart of Cape Town's local communities. What truly sets this tour apart is the opportunity to engage directly with the people of Langa Township, hear their stories, and experience their vibrant culture firsthand. You'll walk the streets, visit local landmarks, and explore community initiatives that are making a difference, all while guided by an expert who understands both the history and the current reality of township life.
The tour also includes a visit to the impactful District Six Museum, where you’ll learn about South Africa’s complex past during Apartheid. The optional African beer-tasting session at Guga Sthebe Arts and Cultural Centre adds an authentic local flavor to your journey.
This tour is perfect for those looking to gain a deeper understanding of Cape Town beyond the tourist highlights, while supporting local communities.
