Activity Description

If African culture is your thing, then this is definitely the tour for you!

Experience the authentic side of the Mother City as you discover the vibrant culture, local food, street art and community spirit of Khayelitsha, Cape Town’s largest and most vibrant township.

Led by knowledgeable local guides, you will explore colourful street art, bustling outdoor markets and residential neighbourhoods before finishing off with a traditional South African Braai (AKA barbecue), freshly prepared by local cooks.

During the two-hour walking tour, you will have the opportunity to visit a local home, ask questions and connect with residents on a personal level. Through their stories, you’ll gain insight into the community’s history, everyday life and challenges, as well as the creativity, ambition and positive change shaping Khayelitsha today.
