Day 5: A Day in the Townships

En route from the Cederberg wilderness to the Winelands, get an insider’s view of the struggles of South Africa’s black population during the years of apartheid in the Townships – where blacks were forced to live a bleak existence, most in dire poverty. Visiting Langa Township, you’ll walk the streets… visit a private home… and meet current residents with your local guide, Lizo "MC" Mgobozi, who recounts a highly personal tale of the hardships and challenges he and other Langa residents faced during that tragic time, and of how they’re creating a brighter future. Then it’s on to the lush Cape Winelands and Stellenbosch – the country’s second-oldest city after Cape Town – for two memorable nights at South Africa’s oldest operating inn.

Hotel: d’Ouwe Werf, Stellenbosch, South Africa

Meals Included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Activity Level: Little walking today – about an hour’s stroll along the mostly dirt streets and level terrain of Langa Township.
