Deeply moving

Kris_A, Aug 2025

This is an essential, moving and memorable part of any visit to Cape Town. So many examples of the very best of humanity and community, in the face of generational trauma and a passionate resilience that should never have had to be called on. The visit challenges many of the beliefs about life in Townships. The residents of Langa could Not have been more welcoming, and I saw our presence there as an important part of bearing witness to the atrocities that they and their families have endured. I will always remember my time there with deep emotion, respect and empathy.

Thank you so much Kris and Amy for booking with us. It was my pleasure meeting and touring with you. Safe travels and hope to see you again in the near future.

A Unique Window into the Reality of Township Life

David_F, Jul 2024

This tour was a highlight of our visit to Cape Town. It offers a window into what life is really like for the millions who live in the townships (about 60% of Cape Town's 5 million residents). Stuart, the company's owner, picked us up at a mutually agreed location and drove us out to Langa. During the drive, he gave us helpful context on the history of Cape Town, how the townships arose and changes since the end of apartheid. Once we arrived in Langa, we were greeted by Namhla, one of his guides and a Langa native. She took the lead for the rest of the township visit. Namhla, 28, was fabulous - highly knowledgeable, friendly and open to any and all questions. We sampled local fare for lunch at Jordan's, visited the local history museum, toured various residential sections, learned about the local economy and popped into a performing arts center for youth. Then Stuart, who remained with us the entire afternoon, drove us back to the city center. We felt safe the whole time, but as a Westerner, Langa - the oldest and probably safest township - is not a place you would want to visit without a guide. This is a unique experience, highly recommend.
