Cape Township Tour
Infinite Beauty Travel offers a half day Township tour. The touris approximately 3.5 hours, with a pick up from the city or from your accomodation.
The first stop is the Distric 6 Museum in the city, this is where the story of relocation and segregation in Cape Town begins.
From the museum we visit Langa, the oldest and the first township to be established (1927). From here we go to Gugulethu (our pride), this is a trendy township, with the famous Mzoli's Meat. This is a top relaxation spot for both local and internationals to enjoy your meat and drinks.
The last township we visit during the tour is Khayelitsha (new home) it is the largest township in Cape Town and is still growing. These are the areas you pass on your way from the Cape Town International Airport.
Below are the reasons You should go on a township tour so you can have the experience for yourself and not really on TV and the media. Experience it for your self with Infinite Beauty Travel, fun under the African sun!
Reasons Why YOU Should Go on a Township Visit:
The township visits create an income for areas visited and can have a positive impact on the young children as they learn about other people from different places
Opportunity to buy directly from the local artist/entrepreneur for him to support his/her family and not resort to crime
Opportunity to learn of the local culture, language and history, the people in the townships visited are of Xhosa heritage
Masiphumelele (let's succeed) a township near Fish Hoek. We pass it during the Cape Peninsula Tour. Opportunity to do a township walk with a local guide.
Opportunity to meet and interact with families and individuals within the area visited
Opportunity to volunteer in community projects like this group (above) building houses for the locals
We visit the Ntonga Music School in Gugulethu, where ex band members teach music noted and instruments to children after school.
The project survies with donations, and we contribute 10% of the tour proceeds.
One more reason is that I am also Xhosa speaking, and can teach you a few words and can help in translating for/to the locals visited.
