Experience the people and culture of Langa, Cape Town's oldest township. As part of the walking tour we will visit the community centre, try the local cuisine, see a variety of homes, visit the ISV "Happy Feet" volunteer project and much more. This experience will change your world view and understanding of life for many South Africans. Rest assured the tour is operated in line with our responsible travel ethics where the local guide is from the township itself and activity fees directly benefit those living in Langa.

Kruger National Park: Sunset Game Drive ?

In Kruger National Park, sunset is the most magical time of day to explore the bushveld by safari vehicle, looking for African wildlife. This is an amazing opportunity for photography as the sun sets below the horizon, hopefully capturing images of giraffe, elephant, buffalo, lion and other animals that you may not have seen during the morning and afternoon game drives. A not-to-be-missed experience for South Africa!
