Essential to every visitor to Cape Town. Experience life in the Township while being 100% safe. There’s lots of smiles and laughters to be met, townships are a concentrate of raw humanity.

Cape Town has many different faces and this one is one of it’s most vibrant and hidden.

This is not only a township tour but a history and social lesson that examines the implications of this country’s former laws.

Here is why I recommend this tour:

Even if it’s only a little, some money does enter the community, whether through the purchase of art or souvenirs. This trickle-down economy is bound to be better than picking through trash.

The tour changes perceptions of poverty by putting a face to it and showing visitors that however poor, people are the same everywhere and share similar thoughts and emotions.

You will get to visit and area you would never go to otherwise.

Even in the poorest areas development and innovation is taking place: this township tour showcases the economic and cultural energies of the neighbourhoods.

This will improve your understanding of poverty and of one another – and of the world at large.
