This tour gives a very personal and authentic look into life in the townships. The tour begins with a stop in at the MCT-supported Injongo Educare Crèche, Mfuleni where guests can help to make or serve the children breakfast, and read, play ball and have singalongs with them. This is followed by a short walk down the road to where the crèche began at the home of inspirational founder, Mavis Ngcongolo who will be there to greet the group. Then it’s on to the township of Khayelitsha where guests can see the whole of Cape Town’s biggest location from Lookout Hill at the Tourism Centre, before taking a drive through the streets, hearing about its history and people as they go. The tour’s last stop is Langa (meaning ‘sun’) and arguably Cape Town’s most vibrant and progressive settlement. Here, guests visit Langa Heritage Museum in The Old Pass Court building, Guga Sthebe Arts & Culture Centre for local empowerment, and Langa Quarter where the Ikhaya Le Langa project is furthering social enterprise and creating a tourism hotspot. – MCT Representative: Kyle Visagie – Departure times: After breakfast and lunch – meet at hotel reception – Travel time: ±40 minutes (one way) – Tour duration: 3–4 hours – Number of guests: 2–7 – Cost: ZAR1 500 per vehicle (2–4 guests) | ZAR3 000 per vehicle (5–7 guests)
