Welcome to Dental Spas and Safaris.

Township Tour



Join us for a unique experience travelling through the three South Africa – The birth, where it all started, Apartheid South Africa and the New South Africa. Departing from Cape Town city centre, the first stop is in the Malay Quarter (Bo Kaap). Here we discuss the arrival of an expedition of Dutch sailors in 1652 that proved to be a monumental turning point in the history of South Africa. Taking a short walk along the romantic cobblestone streets between the brightly coloured homes, your tour guide explains how the framework for racial segregation was established. Passing some of Cape Town’s landmarks, a short drive brings us to District 6 where we drive through the now decaying ruins of what was once a flourishing mixed-race community where 60 000 people lived and worked but was demolished to be reserved exclusively for white people. The tour continues to Langa, the oldest Black African Township in Cape Town. Along the way, we elaborate on the restrictive legislation introduced by the Apartheid regime to enforce racial segregation. On arrival in Langa, we have a photo stop at the site that commemorates the student uprising of 1976; discuss the Pass Laws and the barracks built for African migrant workers. If conducted on a Sunday morning, the tour includes a short visit to one of the local churches. Here guests are immersed in the charisma and vibrancy of how religion is practiced in the townships.

IMPORTANT TRAVEL NOTES


Passport

Visitors to South Africa must have a passport that is valid for at least 30 days after the intended departure date from South Africa. Passports should also have a minimum of two blank passport pages per country visited. The blank pages cannot include the endorsement page at the back of the book. If there is insufficient space in the passport, entry into a country could be denied. If you require a visa, you must ensure that your passport has two blank facing pages - one for the visa and one for the entry stamp. Visitors must have a return ticket. It is essential that you check current visa and medical requirements at your local embassy or consulate of the country you intend to visit, prior to travelling. We suggest making a copy of your first and last pages of your passport, placing a copy in your luggage and keeping one at home.


Checked Baggage

The following important rules for checked baggage will be applied at OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg:

  • Only regular-shaped bags will be allowed to be checked in. This means that the bags must have at least one flat surface to be accepted

  • Round or irregular-shaped bags will not be allowed

  • Bags with longs straps will not be allowed

These rules are implemented in order to prevent blockages and breakdowns in the baggage-handling system caused by bags that do not have any flat surfaces or that have long straps or grips. Passengers who try to check in bags that do not conform to these rules will have the option of having their baggage wrapped with one flat side at airport-approved baggage wrapping stations. (Any additional cost for this wrapping service will be for the passengers’ own account)


Travel Insurance

We consider adequate travel insurance to be essential and recommend Medical Travel Shield  for specialized medical tourism and comprehensive travel insurance, tailored to meet all your personal needs. It is the personal responsibility of each traveler to ensure that they have adequate travel insurance cover. Please contact a broker directly, read the policy details carefully to ensure that the insurance cover purchased is suitable and is adequate for your particular needs. Dental Spas and Safaris and its agents will not be responsible or liable for any consequences of any nature arising from the failure to obtain or maintain adequate insurance cover.
