Township tours offer the latter. Community guides listed by TownshipTours.co.za include walking experiences, minibus taxi tours and even birding tours led by a guide trained by BirdLife South Africa. Langa Tours, for example, describes its tours as locally owned and operated, with guides born and raised in the township. African Public Bicycles offers locally guided township cycling tours led by Jeffrey Mulaudzi, taking visitors to heritage sites and community spaces. Summer is warmer and more humid, but works well if you want to combine the township experience with Durban’s outdoor attractions.
