Highlights

Cape Town - ‘BLEND THE CITY’
Tour Overview

The tour you’ll be taking is called ‘Blend the City.’ By traveling, you meet and support entrepreneurs in Cape Town’s very first township called Langa. The legacy of segregation during Apartheid has the left the city divided along racial lines to this day. By economically empowering townships and stepping into them, we integrate the city. And you also get a ‘blend’ of our favourite experiences.

TIMING NOTE:
If you only have the morning available and therefore need a half-day AM tour, please book a start time between 7-9am, and we will truncate the experiences to ensure you’re dropped back off at your requested location within 4 hours after pick-up or meeting at Guga S’thebe centre in Langa.
— DISCLAIMER: Half-day AM tours exclude kids from the African Zumba experience, as they are busy schooling during the day.

Additional Information

Get immersed in this 3-part tour co-hosted by multiple local changemakers!

A Side by Side tour is an adventure comprising 2+ of our hands-on experiences. Escape the tourist trap, live like a local, and make an impact. A percentage of every booking goes directly back to the changemakers we’ve partnered with in the form of year-end gifts: equipment, bursaries, and cash grants.

To ensure all experiences run smoothly and guests’ every last need is met, an SbS guide will be by your side throughout the entire tour from pick-up to drop-off (if you add the Hotel Pickup add-on). Your guide will provide you all the background info you need to know and settle the entrance fees on your behalf.

Optionally add the Photoshoot add-on for HD pics/vids of you in action sent by the Google Drive same day; and/or the Prepaid Meal add-on to get food pre-ordered for prompt delivery.

Amazing and life-changing experience - As an American traveling to South Africa for the first time, I can honestly say that the township tour with Jason, Thulani, and Sisa was the highlight of my trip. This was an eye opening experience into the historical and current day impacts of systemic displacement and segregation of the Black and brown community of Cape Town. Everyone we met was warm, welcoming, knowledgeable, and eager to share their personal experiences with us. I learned more during this tour than any amount of learning/reading I could have done had I not stepped foot in a township. Thank you Jason, Thulani, Sisa, Chuma, and Ma Jean for opening up your world to me. I am forever grateful! I HIGHLY recommend this experience for any and everyone travelling to Cape Town!!
