Half Day Township Tour
Today we will visit the Townships – a tour that offers you an insight and interaction with different cultures, communities and individuals. Witness every day life in a harsh environment which tells of the struggles, hopes and achievements. See why 27 April 1994 was such an important day in South Africa (first democratic elections). We start with a tour of District Six. See the oldest mosque in S.A. District Six was once home to thousands of people of various cultures. We visit Langa, the oldest formal black township in Cape Town, and see the local market, an art & crafts centre, and we visit a traditional healer. Experience the warm hospitality of a local B&B. We visit a crèche offering fun, and a safe haven for the local children. We also visit Bonteheuwel, Nyanga, Crossroads, Khayelitscha, and Gugulethu where we see the Gugulethu Seven Memorial and the Amy Biehl Memorial.
Pick up times are between 08h15 to +/- 12h45 or 13h45 to 18h00 daily.

Located at the southern tip of Africa, Cape Town is South Africa's oldest city, stunningly framed between mountains and sea. Having recently been voted the second most desirable holiday destination in the world, The "Mother City" is recognised as one of the most beautiful cities on earth and offers a range of attractions, breathtaking sights and endless activities.
Apart from its stunning natural features, the city is blessed with a cosmopolitan ambience that meets with the approval of bohemians and descerning holidaymakers alike. Not far from the compact city centre, visitors can choose from a magnificent portfolio of world-class attractions - Table Mountain, Camps Bay beach, the Winelands, Robben Island and Cape Point nature reserve.
Life for Capetonians is focused on the outdoors, and visitors too find that the beach, mountain and hiking trails are the highlights of their stay. Cape Town's laid back beauty and paradoxical character ensure that this is just about everyone's favourite South African city. Even if you are from Johannesburg.
