I would highly reccomend the walking tour of Langa. It was a good experience to learn/hear about the local culture and explore. Our guide Don was very helpful and was willing to answer any questions we had, along with the “apprentices”. We especially enjoyed the theatre. The admission fee was very good for the 2 hour tour, which was a perfect time to have. Would highly recommend.
Great experience. Our guides Buntu and Kamlelo were excellent and gave us a great appreciation for life in Langa. So many positive initiatives happening within this community. The visit to Happy Feet was amazing. The township felt safe and welcoming. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Cape Town.
Great 2.5-hour tour with our guide Don, who grew up in Langa himself and was therefore able to provide many insights into life in the township. The pickup in front of the cultural center worked without any problems and we felt safe at all times.
Had an amazing tour with Loyiso. It was impressive to see how people live here and how they are working to improve their community. After the injustice of Apartheid, they seize every opportunity to build a better future.
We had such an impressive tour with Buntu. What enthusiasm and positivity! That is honestly what touched me the most. As we walked, we explored part of Langa and learned more about life in South Africa in general, and in Langa in particular. We were also surprised to find we had a private tour—that was yet another plus. Thank you, Buntu, and we wish you all the best.
We loved the tour of Langa with Nela, our incredible guide. We were of course a little apprehensive before the tour, but we really felt safe at every moment and our car was watched during the visit. Nela shared the history of Langa with us, then the life of the residents today, in an authentic way. It was really very interesting; you can feel that there is a real desire to improve life in Langa, especially for the young people. If you take the tour on a Sunday, you will be able to attend mass. We really recommend this tour; it is one of the experiences we liked best in Cape Town!
We had a truly professional, warm and insightful experience in Langa Township with our guide, Buntu. We felt safe og welcome. It was inspiring to see the many proactive and creative initiatives driven by local people. They give hope and show the strength, resilience and potential within the community.
Going to Langa was seeing, hearing and feeling the real Cape Town! The soul of the city lives in the township, not in the Waterfront or Camps Bay. I recommend the visit to anyone who would like to learn more about the history of the city and experience the authentic and warm cultural exchange with the locals! Our guide Buntu was wonderful, many thanks to him!
Great two hour walking tour with Don. Lots of local knowledge and insight.
Don made it a fantastic and eye opening experience. It was very humbling to see how the community within Langa live. Thank you Don for sharing details of your life living in Langa Township :-)
