Tour details
Shebeen Tour
Shebeens are traditionally illegal drinking establishments of the past. Now they are also known as taverns and are great social places where people meet after work. These previously outlawed establishments are vibrant and fun and they are always at the heart of the local communities.
Calabash Tours take clients on unforgettable journeys into the townships where they experience the diversity of these places. After the journey through the townships your guide takes you to the carefully selected Shebeen where you can enjoy a meal and a drink with local residents of the townships. Clients are welcomed by our African hosts and get unbeatable hospitality and enjoy the electric atmosphere of these establishments.
The tour travels through the vibrant townships and ends at a Shebeen for dinner and a drink.
