Social Development Tours
This fascinating day-long tour is especially designed for the visitor with an
interest in the development issues that pervade and influence South Africa‘s
cities.
It delves beyond a simple survey of tourist sites, to instead narrate a city‘s
challenging, daunting and inspiring stories. Rather than shying away from
the typical"no go‘ areas, this tour will take you to the pulse of cities in the
midst of transition.
You will experience the dynamic clash of inner cities, townships and lush
suburbs that define the new South African cities. We promise to provide you
with a truly exhilarating, humbling, shocking but soulful view of our cities.
This interactive tour is developed and led by a certified Town Planner Zunaid
Khan, providing a unique and informative view into the past and present, and
glimpse into the future of South Africa‘s cities.
We make a conscious effort to educate, inform, enlighten and engage both
citizens of and visitors to South Africa.
