Cape Town - Cape Town Tourism has released three videos showcasing suburbs in the City: Langa, Somerset West and Constantia.
These add to the popular ones already available in the Love Cape Town Neighbourhoods video series, Woodstock, Kalk Bay and the CBD:
The three videos take you deep into Langa, Constantia and Somerset West with locals narrating each video, offering an off-brochure glimpse of what life is like for those who live there – what to see, what makes those places so incredibly special.
The new videos released include:
Langa: Cape Town’s first township has a lively street vibe, and is home to a rich historical heritage and a smorgasbord of cultural experiences. It’s fun, exciting and full of new experiences visitors won’t find anywhere else!
Constantia: Home to South Africa’s first vineyards, Constantia is known for offering an exclusive lifestyle which melds relaxed luxury with a picturesque rural environment. One of the hidden gems in this area are the Kramats (holy burial sites) of Sheikh Abdurahman Matebe and Sayed Mahmud - two religious leaders who were exiled to the Cape as prisoners of the Dutch settlers.
Somerset West: Somerset West is the gateway to the winelands and is situated a few minutes away from world-class beaches and the Helderberg Nature Reserve. It’s just far enough out of the centre of Cape Town to escape the bustle and enjoy an unparalleled outdoors lifestyle, but close enough for locals to get their retail and entertainment fix.
