The real Africa
The Township experience was life-changing. We started with a visit to a home, for the disabled started by two amazing individuals who are blind because of cataracts. They are making the lives of other disabled people easier. We then visited in organic garden, run by community members. Everything was built from recycled material. It just goes to show what we could all do. Lastly, we visited a school and as a teacher this was, the icing on the cake. I sang with them and taught them songs. We were also invited to have a traditional African dinner at the home of the Teacher. If you get a chance to make this part of your journey in Africa, you will be making memories that will last forever.

Exciting experience
Despite having already seen Langa in cape Town a few days ago, this tour was very nice and exciting. Gently meet the people who live in this place, listen and breathe their commitment to change their lives and their country, get caught up in the vitality and spirit of this place and those who live there .. Absolutely recommended if you want to know more about South Africa.
The projects you encounter open your heart and mind and give hope.
Zanemvula is a fantastic guide.. Full of enthusiasm, with a lot of knowledge and a great humanity 😊... With final surprise
😉Thank you for these beautiful hours spent together
