Upon arrival, guests find themselves immersed in the heart of Gugulethu, where the legacy of struggle and triumph resonates throughout every corner of the town. The tour ends with a serene return to the accommodation, leaving guests with a profound appreciation for the enduring spirit of South African unity and progress.
