The beaches and picturesque views are some of the things that set Cape Town apart from other cities. Although the mother city is gorgeous, one chap believes that it should be explored to its fullest by visiting one of the largest townships.

The adventurous gent said on TikTok:

“When the tourists arrive in Cape Town, don’t forget to bring them this side. Don’t forget to bring them to Khayelitsha’s Monwabisi Bay. There are amazing views on this side. We mustn’t only talk about Cape Town’s Camps Bay, there’s a lot to see in Cape Town.”

The chap filmed a wide shot of the Khayelitsha area which also showcased the informal settlements and developed areas.
