Awe-inspiring landscapes, fascinating wildlife and culinary diversity are excellent reasons to travel to South Africa. However, more and more of our guests wish to experience the local cultures of the country they are visiting first-hand. In Cape Town’s case this often includes a visit to the local townships (informal settlements). Having worked with Uthando Tours for several years, the African Moments team has found a partner that gives our guests a genuine insight into township life, as well as the various exemplary social projects Uthando initiates and supports.
Once Uthando collects you from your guesthouse and upon stepping into their vehicle, you are guaranteed an exciting day ahead. Your expert tour-guide will take you beneath the surface, bringing you into contact with the local people going about their daily lives. We assure you, that the townships are not only about poverty and misery and no doubt that you will be inspired by the many great opportunities created by organizations such as Uthando for children, adolescents and adults alike. At the same time, you will get to absorb the incredible and endearing community spirit found in the South African people, which draws our guests to return to our shores time and time again.
Good to know: African Moments has waived the option to earn commission on arranging Uthando tours for our guests. In so doing, we ensure that 100% of the tour fees benefits the social projects of Uthando.
