I visited Langa with Grassroute Tours. There where only three of us and a local guide. That was good, because it didn't feel like the typical big group of tourist taking photos. The experience is not easy and it makes you think a lot about the unfairness that the residents are suffering, but it is really a must if you... More

This was my second trip to the Langa and other townships and I found the visit tough and yet I would recommend to anyone visiting South Africa that they must do this trip...I was disappointed that after five years since my last visit little has changed and the people are living in the same squalor...but they are so happy and...

I just returned from a week's vacation in Cape Town South Africa. As part of my stay I wanted to visit Langa Township which I had heard about from some of my pre trip research. I ended up selecting a two hour walking tour of the township for myself and four of my travel companions. We used Township Tours Cape... More

I was part of a contingent of teachers invited by Proteam to go on a tour of Langa Township. I have always resisted the idea of a township tour (having grown up in one myself) as it always seemed to me like it would detiorate into a gawking at the poor. However, Lizo's clear love of Langa and its people... More

MC of Proteam SA took all the staff members at CBC St. John's Parklands Senior school on a tour of Langa Township, as a team building excercise. We found it very informative and it was a very well organised tour. Thank you to the people of Langa for sharing their culture with us! And thank you to MC and his... More

Very interesting and informative tour of the Township of Langa. Our guide Chippa picked us up on time in our hotel and gave us a lot of information about the township and the problems. He showed us the projects there and we visited local homes. Information you never get on a sightseeing tour - positive and negative! He also helped... More

The walking tour is a nice way for the community to bring money back to the townships. There are upper, middle and lower classes established in the townships that we saw. Some of the establishments were not what you would think when you think townships. They were quite nice homes they lived in in the upper class areas. Our guide... More

Gladstone from Siviwe Tours took us on a walking tour around his neighbourhood in Langa, and was an absolutely first rate guide. He even insisted on pushing our stroller while our boy slept, so that we could fully enjoy our time. We brought our two small children, aged 4 and 2 1/2 with us and that was no problem at... More

We were a little apprehensive about booking a township tour because we didn't want to be perceived as "gawkers" or being disrespectful of a very real community. Nonetheless, we wanted to see South Africa, so our hotel booked the Township Tour with the V&A Waterfront Information Center. Our tour guide was a resident of the Lanta Township and was so... More
