Township Visits


Standard Itinerary
Get under the skin of Cape Town and South Africa with this authentic experience of township life. 

Far less of a tour, and more of a “visit” this experience truly immerses you in the local way of a life in a township, where the majority of South Africans live in these crazy, vibrant, messy, make-shift, magical areas.

If you're interested to find out how many real South Africans live, have an eye-opening experience of local culture and want to add a richness to your South African holiday this tour cannot be recommended highly enough. We rank it among our Top 5 must-do activities in Cape Town along with visiting Table Mountain, Cape Point, the penguin colony at Boulders and the V&A Waterfront. 

The two hour walking tour covers different types of accommodation, gives you an opportunity to hang with the locals and have an opportunity to see life through their eyes. This is not a "gawking at the poor" tour, but a rich cultural 
exchange that benefits both parties.
