TALK Tourism arranges for small or large groups of visitors who wish to experience African culture to stay for a period of time with a family in a rural area or township of South Africa. Visitors are accompanied by a Phaphama guide on this trip, whose task it is to integrate you into the life of the family and community. The duration of the stay may range from one week to one month, and may have different focuses i.e. learning the language, experiencing the life of the family or touring the area and enjoying its rich historical and natural attractions. This is not a commercial tourist location and the emphasis is on participating in the daily life of the family, rather than on being treated in a special way.
