Cape Town has millions of people living in townships, and this tour takes you to visit them and offers an opportunity to find out about their harsh past, to witness the challenges they face everyday, and about the positive hope for the future.
See how the social fabric of people living in townships knits together. You have the chance to interact with the locals and learn out about their different cultures, and you’ll leave with a greater understanding of how each of these townships contributes in its own unique way to the Rainbow Nation. On arrival, tourists often discover that they did not understand the extent to which previous race classification laws fragmented our society.
Our tour is not about ticking township names off a list. It is about the people. It is about sharing experiences. So, please ask those questions, dig a little deeper, … ask about our hopes, fears, dreams and challenges?
Your guide is a specialist who grew up within the disadvantaged communities that we visit. As such he is highly knowledgeable of the areas, the people, the history and the politics that shaped the lives of so many. See how the spirit of Kanalah, Ubuntu and reconciliation is being played out by Capetonians.
Rest assured, this is not a "gawking tour" It is not invasive tour. It is a positive and interactive tour.
