• 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.

• Guga S’thebe - PRE-DEPARTURE:
  Orientation

Your tour starts off in an unconventional way… You partake in a very interactive orientation led by your guide, instead of rushing off right away. This is done right at the Langa’s famous arts & culture community centre, Guga S’thebe. Rest assured, we also put aside a little time to see the facilities and buy souvenirs from the centre’s vendors.

The orientation sets expectations and the vibe for the day, covers safety & conduct, teaches handshakes and greetings, and does a check-in to sense where the guests’ thinking and feeling is at.

TIMING NOTE:
If time is very limited, or you simply prefer, a good deal of the orientation can—albeit less comfortably—be done over the course of the drive into Langa, instead of before that drive. We do, however, recommend keeping the orientation in for the optimum tour.

• Langa - PART 1:
  African Fusion Lunch with a Restaurant Founder experience

The most tender and zesty stories get shared over a meal. You’ll be floored by some of the stories our Food Business entrepreneurs have to tell.

EXAMPLE:
The founder has built a strong family business providing high quality take-away food and catering with exceptional customer service and professionalism. Her daughter is the namesake of the business. She and her children cook from their home kitchen, but don’t underestimate this establishment: It’s some of the best and freshest food you’ll find in all of Cape Town. She is a wonderful and joyous human being with a storied history—chatting with her feels like chatting to a best friend.

TIMING NOTE:
If you’d prefer to do a dinner instead of lunch, you are welcome to book a tour with a start time in the afternoon (e.g. 3 or 4pm) and we will automatically swap the order of the experiences around.

• Langa - PART 2:
  African Zumba Class w/ Kids experience

No where else can you experience this. Try your hand (and foot) at some of the local styles. Prepare to break a sweat in this exhilarating aerobic experience. But no worries if dancing isn’t your thing—you can jam out with some of the kids on our djembe drums!

EXAMPLE:
The lead Zumba entrepreneur has a one-of-a-kind flare and personality that makes you come alive. On one of your water breaks, he will tell you his inspiring story of how dance and exercise got him out of a life as a gangster.

The kids from Example Group—the community-based org offering girls after-school dance programming—have so much talent, and such a desire to learn and connect. It’s a reflection of its founder’s soft skills she’s transferring onto the girls—in addition to the insanely cool Afro-centric dance moves!

TIMING NOTE:
The kids are busy schooling in the day, so this experience can only run between 3-6pm daily, except weekends (subject to availability).
