Cape Town Township Half Day Tour

This fun and informative township tour will depart from your hotel within the Cape Town City Centre before we visit the District Six Museum. A place that offers a wide range of artistic images that provides a depiction of the formerly thriving residential area of the District Six comprising of an estimated 60 000 people that were forcefully removed and relocated to the Cape Flats by the old Apartheid South African Government. After time spent at the District Six Museum the township tour will continue with a drive to the Langa township.
Within the Langa township you will be doing a walking tour where you will be able to meet and interact with the local people and visiting a local community school as well as a shebeen (a pub) where traditional beer is brewed and tasted. The township tour will proceed with a visit to some of the local markets, arts and craft centres and the traditional healer also known as the doctor of the community. This is where you will learn how one of the oldest African “clinics” functions and to learn about traditional cures for different sicknesses.
The township tour does not stop in Langa, the tour continues further to the township of Gugulethu with a drive through the area with your guide giving you some insight about the historical and present Gugulethu township. Within Gugulethu you will be able to see the Gugulethu Seven statues, which represents the men swallowed by the Apartheid regime as well as learning about the story of Amy Biehl as you enjoy the unique view of the township that houses predominantly black people.
After your visit to the Gugulethu township the tour will conclude with a drive to the township known as Bonteheuwel before taking you back to your hotel after experiencing and witnessing the rich and diverse cultures of Cape Town.
