Garden Route Tours / Garden Route South Africa / Garden Route Safaris

We are very fortunate to have very experienced guides when it comes to a township tours. We prefer to do the tour with a small group of 2 to maximum 7 people per microbus. Bigger groups - we split them in smaller groups of seven with a guide with each vehicle.. Reason is that we are very sensitive to the areas that we visit. We make sure that you will not have a "zoo-experience". All of our guides has worked in the township for a long time and will see to it that you meet the local people.

Please read our brochure and know that this tour will be conducted in micro busses unless otherwise organised. We see you as friends visiting our friends. This is normally a half day tour, but it could be combined with any major attraction in Cape Town or of course with Robben Island.

A tour to the townships will result in an understanding of the evolution of the Mother City. It will also give one insight into the ethnic character of the city. We will visit the most devastating example of forced removals in Cape Town (District 6) and move on to the townships of the Cape Flats where we will meet the children of the areas, enjoy refreshments at a Spaza (township shop), visit a Shebeen (tavern), photograph the "Khayas" (township houses) and visit the open-air meat market of Nyanga.

This Cultural tour will enrich ones thinking and create better understanding of Cape Town, The Mother City.
