Shebeen tour ( “For a fun African night out” )
Where there’s a township, there’s a Shebeen! These previously outlawed establishments are the vibrant, pulsing heart of the community where locals meet for a drink and often music and dancing too. The Township version of “the local” is an essential part of social life where people gather to enjoy themselves.
Enjoy a fun evening out and meet the locals when we take you to our pick of venues where the throbbing music is the best of Africa. Experience African hospitality at its finest as you tuck into a traditional dinner, enjoy the laid back vibe and drinks that are outrageously cheap!
