Amazing tour. Kazi was a wonderful tour guide with a lot of knowledge. The community was very welcoming, kind and talkative. Great experience.
Namhla has such an entertaining and sincere way of letting tourist see the real South African life. Staying in Green- Sea point or Waterfront you’re in a bubble but you run into people whom are living in the townships everyday. This tour was such an inspiring message. Namhla shared the gritty but also the hopeful aspects of living in a township. She wove the history of SA and the apartheids regime into the affects on modern day life. Do yourself a favor and go on this township tour and step outside the bubble!
The experience was amazing. Our guide was extremely friendly and have huge and important knowledge about the history of South Africa. I have very happy to participate to this tour. The experience is extremely necessary to understand the foundation of cape town
This tour was recommended by a lady travelling with us. We booked it last minute and a private tour was arranged. Our guide Wandile was so informative, helpful and friendly. It was a humbling and an enlightening experience. I would highly recommend it.
Cape Town is a truly stunning city but to understand what moves the city, you have to experience a township tour with someone who is deeply rooted in the township community. Chippa was the perfect guide - knowledgeable, respectful of the community and with a desire to help others understand that a township is not what it appears to be from the outside. He shared the history of townships and brought us into the present with a glimpse into the future. It was safe, eye-opening, educational and truly gives you a newfound perspective. I would higly recommend this to anyone visiting Cape Town - whether you are travelling solo or in a group. A Langa township tour with Chippa will stay with you for a long time.
The trip was fabulous, informative, educational and the community were very generous in sharing their lives with us. It was a privilege to meet people from the community and to learn about their creativity and entrepreneurial ship in creating a better life for themselves , their families and their community.
