Wiclif "( Mzolifi Quza) , offers one of the best township tours in the country. After visiting an initiation camp, he will take you on a tour through the Walmer township, visiting a youth center along the way, before taking you home to enjoy dinner with a Xhosa family. This is followed by a trip to a community choir rehearsal, and ends after a visit to a local shebeen (informal drinking house)."

Let Wiclif our specialist township tour guide take you on a Township Tour

Let Wiclif give you an understanding into Apartheid, the lives of the Xhosa people and allow you to experience the real South Africa, and explain how Port Elizabeth was at the centre of the struggle for Freedom.

Things have improved at a remarkable pace in the 10 years of democracy. Let Wiclif explain why the police station has two doors and it's infamous history.

township.
