About this activity

When booking on a Bicycle township tour, guests can choose whether to book including transfers or excluding. When selecting an option with transfers we meet guests at hotel in Cape Town or the V&A Waterfront and transfer guests for 45 min to the starting location. If guests opt for the self drive option they can meet at Chasmay Road Campus.

Our local Xhosa guides will give you introduction of the township and then assist with bicycles before departing to explore the community

The tour offers an opportunity to interact with the local community. What better way to understand township lifestyle, than to have first hand experience in the township and have direct interaction with the locals. The local tour guide will give a brief political and cultural background of the community. A visit to the Sangoma (traditional healer) where you can try traditional beer, watch Sangomas dancing and preparing traditional herbs.

As part of the experience we visit a local creche that we support, where you'll be met with excitement and enthusiasm by the children and warmly welcomed by the caregivers. After the swift stop and go rides between the streets lined with a mixture of shacks and block houses. The final stop would then be to a local restaurant for a bite of African lunch.
