People & Portrait Township Tour

If you want to take more interesting photographs, get your camera to more interesting places... and the township of Langa and Khayelitsha on the Cape Flats is such a place.

"Our Standard Township Photo Tour"
We start the day at the District 6 Museum in Cape Town, for some interesting background information before we make our way to the township of Langa. At the informal settlement we photograph the shacks, the street children and also interact with the people that live there as they go about their daily routine. We visit a Sangoma (traditional healer) who is kind enough to allow us to take photographs of him and his natural medicines. We also visit the spaza shops and butchery. Everybody here is very friendly and do not mind having their photographs taken.

Any visit to Khayelitsha, is not complete without a visit to Vicky's B&B, to see and experience the wonderful changes this remarkable woman is bringing about within the township. We encourage you to meet and mingle with to township people of South Africa, and take a combination of candid, posed and journalistic style photographs, perfect to experiment with Black and White photography.

This is a perfect tour to do during the week, and for someone that would like to see and experience a lot all in one day.

"Pete's Favourite Township Photo Tour"
The ultimate photographic experience! Get fantastic photographs in the informal settlement of the township Langa, the oldest township in Cape Town. Photograph the colorful shacks, the children playing in the dusty streets and drink home brew Unqumbothi beer at a local shebeen. To add to your township experience we lunch at a local eatery in Gugulethu.

This tour is best enjoyed at leisure on a weekend, to experience the "real South African Township Vibe"

After arriving at Vicky's B&B in Khayelitsha, you settle into your comfortable room and spend the rest of the afternoon at leisure, getting to know locals, a drink and dance at the local shebeen, and a delicious home cooked African meal. The following morning, your tour guide and personal photocoach will be there to pick you up for a early morning photo shoot of Khayelitsha with the ever present Table Mountain as a back drop (prices excludes Vicky's B&B and transport the following morning)

I believe in giving back to the community, and arrange giveaways like "Township Toy Fun Run", "Bake Beans, Balls and Bully Beef" and "Fun in the Sun" where friends, photographers and members of the community all can get involve with.
We often distribute food parcels, as well as basic necessities back to the people of the townships. I always enjoy printing the photographs that I have taken and handing it back to our willing “models”- and they really enjoy it too!

"I enjoyed the first stop the most! The personal attention, flexibility, and having a local guide also. Peter is very patient and goes with the flow. It is also nice being with someone who cares about the community and that gives back!"
