Itinerary

Langa, Cape Town’s oldest township, offers a powerful glimpse into the city’s history and
cultural heartbeat.
Walk through bustling streets filled with street art, food vendors, and shebeens (local
taverns). Visit a craft center, where artisans create colorful beadwork and handmade
souvenirs, and interact with residents who proudly share stories of their heritage and
progress.

Home to two Nobel Peace Prize winners, Nelson Mandela and Archbishop Desmond Tutu,
Soweto is South Africa’s most iconic township.
Visit the Hector Pieterson Memorial,
Vilakazi Street, and the Orlando Towers. Learn about the 1976 student uprisings and how
Soweto continues to shape the country’s cultural and political identity.
Enjoy a traditional lunch at a local restaurant — perhaps a plate of pap, chakalaka, and
grilled meat while listening to township jazz or kwaito beats.
