We
are very fortunate to have very experienced guides when it comes
to our township tours. We prefer to do the tour with a small group
of 2 to maximum 7 people per bus. Bigger groups - we split them
in smaller tours 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 Cape Town guides have worked in the township for a long time
and will see to it that you meet the local people. We
see you as friends visiting our friends.
This
is normally a half day tour, but it could be combined with most
major attraction tours in Cape Town.
Township
tours
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 and her rainbow nation.
