Tour Operators - Township Tours in Cape Town, South Africa

The Ubuntu of township culture dictates that the community is placed above the needs of the idividual (Ubuntu). Prepare to re-evaluate your perspective on life and do as some of the locals do, with an inter-dependant society, where everyone knows and helps thiers neighbours.

Democratic South Africa was born on these township streets and Cape Town's townships roll out the welcome mat for you to see it for yourself.

With few meterial possessions, most of the township children manage to convert waste matter into toys and seem to derive geat pleasure from doing so.  Witness a child taking delight in rolling an old tyre along the road with a stick, or playing with a car fashioned from cardboard and wire.  Mothers who are lucky enough to have work, leave their children with grandparents, siblings or at overcrowded creches, who charge for one month, less than what you would pay for one meal out.

Ona visit to a township capture the resident's warmth, creative energy, adaptability, faith, community spirit and indomitable humour.  This is best reflected in their fashion, music, homes, taverns, businesses and distinctive cuisine.  A township visit is quite simply a pilgrimage that every tourist and every South Africa should make.  According to Cape Town Tourism, township tours are selling as well as wine tours, so be sure not to miss out on this humbling and enlightning experience on the "other side of town"
