Township Private Tour
Langa, Its People and Its History
Real places. Real people. Real stories.
Langa is a living neighbourhood, and you visit it as a guest: its history, its art and its everyday life, with a guide who knows it well.
Gain a deeper understanding of South African history and culture on a private township tour in Cape Town: half a day in Langa with your own guide. The tour begins at the Guga S’Thebe Arts & Culture Centre, then continues on foot through the neighbourhood.
Along the way you visit the museum and the gallery, see informal homes and the old beer hall, call in at a kindergarten and local businesses, join a drumming session and, if you would like to, taste traditional beer.
