Our guide James was excellent and gave us a great insight into both the history and reality of the Townships. We visited Langa and James made sure we were safe at all times. It is a unique trip and one we woukd throughly recommend.

Didn’t know what to expect but felt we couldn’t leave Cape Town without learning something of the Townships of which we’d seen many on our Garden Route Drive. Our guide was born in a Langa so was able to provide a really knowledgeable experience for us. It was a very positive uplifting experience seeing the residents going about their daily life. We were made feel very welcome and especially enjoyed the Gospel Church Experience. A big thank you to our excellent guide. Very worth while experience.

Excellent tour, it was just us and our guide James who was very knowledgeable and was able to explain everything and brought the tour to life for us. Initially had some reservations about visiting the township but felt very safe at all times.

If you get the chance take up the option of visiting a township while you’re staying in Cape Town. It can be confronting but also opens your eyes to the other side of life here. Many people struggle everyday with security of food, safe shelter and sanitation. The local churches seem to be working with people in their daily lives and despite the hardships there is often a sense of resilience and hopefulness.

Our tour was supposed to be a small group and ended up only us. It was very educational to see how others live. We went into several homes and a orphanage. Definitely recommend.

Rachel Miles did an excellent job, providing us with a tour that exceeded our expectations! Not only did our guide, Mawe Thu, live in the diverse township of Landa in the infamous District 6; but his family was Khosa, a tribe with historical significance in South Africa. Our 5-hour tour was the perfect length to learn about Cape Town’s difficult, but important, history. Yet we also had time to visit with several local artists and a pottery studio, have a short drum lesson, and enjoy a delicious lunch where we “shared Momma’s love” at Mzansi Restaurant, during which we were entertained by local Landa musicians who played on their hand-made instruments. This was a tour we will remember!

The day started off wet but our tour leader provided ponchos and made sure we were comfortable. He gave us so much information about life in the Langa Township having experienced it for himself as a young boy. He was always willing to answer our questions. The visit to District 6 Museum was again most informative and well presented. At the Langa Community Centre we met local artisans working with mosaics, pottery and recycled materials.

Excellent and informative morning spent with our knowledgeable and interesting guide, Chippa! He introduced us to the history of District Six in the larger context of apartheid. In Langa we met local people who provided stories of their lives in the township. We also met new entrepreneurs, people working to support their community and making a difference in their lives. If you go, and we highly recommend you do, ask for Chippa. You will not be disappointed.
