Three experiences

A lifestyle tour, a food tasting journey, or both in one. Prices are per person, and we guide every one ourselves.

Bring a little extra pocket money if you can. Buy food, crafts and handmade items directly from the people you meet, so the day supports more than the tour itself.

Masande, from Langa

We are led by Masande Mhluzi, also known as Masa6lackalion, and Masa Township Experience is ours. Masande Mhluzi was born in Langa and grew up across township and suburban Cape Town, which gives us a broad view of the city and its contrasts.

Masande Mhluzi is also a DJ, fashion designer and creative entrepreneur, making hand-painted garments under Alienshit Apparel. Creativity, storytelling and connecting with people shape the way we run the day.

If your guests keep asking what to do in Cape Town beyond the obvious, this is an experience worth recommending. We keep referral arrangements simple, and we can put one in writing.
