Ekasie Backpackers

Experience the township vibe with the only Backpacker lodge in Khayelitsha, the largest township in Cape Town. Stay with us and live an authentic cultural experience without sacrificing comfort or personal safety. Sleep peacefully in our Afro-chic rooms. Stay connected with our free wireless internet. You'll feel more like a member of the family than a guest in our lodge. Meals and room service can be arranged, or, you can cook for yourself in our well-equipped kitchen.

Book a township tour and see how the locals live. Shop at the craft market, visit a Sangoma (traditional healer), have a drink at the Shebeen (neighborhood tavern) and check out Look Out-Hill. Learn to cook traditional South African cuisine with an eKasie cooking lesson.

eKasie is involved in community building and empowerment - we encourage our guests to get involved. Opportunities are available to volunteer at a local children's home, or guests are welcome to participate in gumboots dancing, drumming, storytelling & street soccer.

Dorms and private rooms are available. eKasie offers a safe, comfortable way to experience the township vibe. Stay a night with us and if you are not satisfied, we will refund your money.

Get out of the city centre and into the heart of a traditional South African township.
