Victoria West Tours

Our exciting tours

Township Tours

Our unique township portrays the life and times of Apartheid and our cultural diversity. One can experience the old living site called the bloudraai where black and coloureds lived together before been divided. We have got our liberation site where past and present freedom fighters lived and a special trail called the POQO trail where some were convicted. We also have one MK commander in chief called Stanley Manong authored his own biography and still lived and some other prominent figures like former journalist/ poet &author Sandile Dikeni amongst many.

Architectural Tours

It’s a walking tour route in our town where Victoria West was established in 1843. From how the Dutch Reformed Church bought the farms Kapoksfontein & Zeekoegat who became Victoria West, one of the oldest house date back 100 plus these unique architectural buildings tell our town’s history and heritage from the back then and are unique as it’s built-in different architectural styles used back then and been modernized today, example: Victoria style, cape cottage, Karoo, and Gothic revival style most churches in South Africa we’re building in this style.

Anglo-Boer War Tours

This unique site in town have the gun powder magazine house which was built in 1853 to store boxes of ammunition, detonators and a number of coils of ignition fuse but has been removed in 1984 by the military and taken to Cape Town. And some guns have been stored in our museum with other artifacts. Although Victoria West didn’t take part in the Anglo Boer War off 1899-1902 we have got sites where some activities and events took place and burial sites of farms outside our town and a burial site at the Anglican church cemetery.

Adventure Tours

It’s mostly for hiking, horse riding/ quad biking on the slopes, and farm called Kapoksfontein. When hiking, one gets a sight of the town below town dam when on the hill/ slopes and view the unique Karoo veld plants, birds, springbok antelopes. And grasping some Karoo air from above while pumping some adrenaline and burning calories and meditation at flat Karoo rocks.
