The Original Knysna Township Tour

Having been into Soweto with a guide it was a much nicer experience to see what the people of a township can do with support from the government. Our guide, a local, showed us some great views of Knysna and talked about life in the township, how people get to own the houses etc. He fed the local dogs who were really friendly, took us to the local store and round the newly built "shopping centre"(great to see investment into the township). We went to the kindergarten and the children were so lovely, very polite, very friendly wanting to high five, have hugs, sing and dance and show off what they had learnt. They were so inquisitive about camera, watches etc and we had a good chat with the teacher even though she was on her own that day. Then off to one of the safe houses for a cup of tea, some Xhosa singing and trying some phrases and playing drums. And finally a quick stop at the guides house on route back to town. Don't worry about being a tourist going to look at the people in a township. Your tour money goes to support the community and the people know and appreciate that.

Great Trip beyond the scenes into one of the townships. A lot of Information was provided by our Guide in good spoken English. It was amazing for us as parents and also for our children. We arrived very Late at the meeting point, but the Guide was relaxed. We visited a kindergarden die to time restrictions. We absolutely recommend this tour.

We were picked up neatly on time and guided through the township. A visit to a traditional medicine woman was included. Special encounter. Also visited a kindergarten. The children sang to us at the top of their lungs. Very touching. The guide lives in the township himself and could therefore tell all about it and no question was too crazy. Really very educational and definitely recommended!

This tour will offer you an understanding of how a township operates. It was wonderful to meet some of the people that live and work there.

What a great guide this was, very flexible and knew many interesting things to tell. Had experience, acquaintances could convey it! The meetings we had thanks to him were gold. Constantly feeling free and safe too.

Very clear picture of this township. Our Guide Vellem, has shown us how they live and of course been to a nursery.

We had a great Guide (Syd) who introduced us to the township and its Community , Telling us about the professions of the people and Their own businesses. The children at the Kindergarten were lovely and excited to See us. It is a nice gesture if you bring some chips or pastry but the Guide will also assist you in buying the sufficient amount and make a Good selection the kids Like. There is a Great feeling of Hope and happiness the children express , which was nice to See. For lunch we were taken to a small restaurant , with a spectacular view owned by a trained Chef, who cooked a delicious lunch !! We wish all the best to the Community and Hope to come back.

A very interesting tour that made me understand life in the country. The instructor was very professional and answered all the questions. Highly recommend the tour.
