What you’ll do

Interact with locals and exchange cultural experiences

A Township tour is a unique experience, a must-see when you are in Cape Town. A fascinating melting pot of old & new, where the past/history is experienced & relived so that the present time becomes understandable & expectation of the future time possible.

Township Tours offers a well-rounded experience of Langa Township, the Oldest Black Township in Cape Town. We specialise in walking tours within the community where a local guide that lives in Langa will guide you through what he/she experiences daily.

Is the community happy to see tourists?

Yes, the community is happy to see the tourists in their community because they boost the economy of the local businesses.

The tourists also experience the community and that’s a win-win situation.

Safety

Safety is our main concern during this experience. It is safe to do a Township tour because the guides live in the Township and that brings a safe environment to our visitors.
