A local minibus will pick you up at your accommodation and transport you to the township.

During your guided walking trip you'll visit some of the local schools, the clinics, one of the many churches and walk passed numerous local homes. You'll also enjoy tea in a local household.


You can also enjoy beer in one of the local legal sjebeens (tavens).

The men are allowed to witness the traditional circumcision ceremony of the AmmaKweta.



The township in Graaff-Reinet benefits 100% financially through this venture since this is one of the first black operated tourist ventures in Graaff-Reinet whereby the local township community gets all the financial gain. The money generated from Township Tours are allocated to community projects, which the community decides upon. The people of Umasizake have undertaken to broaden the tour by exhibiting and demonstrating the Xhosa culture and having handmade goods for sale. We at Karoopark and Camdeboo Cottages do not benefit financially from this excursion.







Some photographs were obtrained from Dutch tourists who visited Umasizake & Kroonvale townships.
