We
are very fortunate to have very experienced Cape
Town 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.
Please
read our brochure and know that this tour will be
conducted in micro busses unless otherwise organised.
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.
