We
are very fortunate to have very experienced guides
when it comes to a township tours. We prefer to
do the tour with a small group of 2 to maximum 7
people per microbus. Bigger groups - we split them
in smaller groups of seven with a guide with each
vehicle.. Reason is that we are very sensitive to
the areas that we visit. We make sure that you will
not have a "zoo-experience". All of our
guides has worked in the township for a long time
and will see to it that you meet the local people.
A
visit to one of the many townships surrounding the
city is an experience that will open your eyes to
the way in which the biggest portion of Cape Town's
population are living. Despite difficult circumstances
and poor living conditions, you will experience
the vibrancy and spirit of the South African people.
We see you as friends visiting our friends. This
is normally a half day tour, but it could be combined
with any major attraction in Cape Town or of course
with Robben Island.
A
tour to the townships will result in an understanding
of the evolution of the Mother City. It will also
give one insight into the ethnic character of the
city. We will visit the most devastating example
of forced removals in Cape Town (District 6) and
move on to the townships of the Cape Flats where
we will meet the children of the areas, enjoy refreshments
at a Spaza (township shop), visit a Shebeen (tavern),
photograph the "Khayas" (township houses)
and visit the open-air meat market of Nyanga.
This
Cultural tour will enrich ones thinking and create
better understanding of Cape Town, The Mother City.
