Highlights

Explore the South West Township City of Soweto on this history filled Tour. This tour will take you deep into South Africa's black only Township where the history of Apartheid traces its roots from. Soweto has one of the largest black population in South Africa and has a very rich history of what transpired during apartheid days. Some of the houses were built during apartheid days and the dark past is demonstrated in two iconic museums called Hector Pieterson and Nelson Mandela House Museum with each having a deep sad past depicted in the photos at both museums.

About Johannesburg

Johannesburg is South Africa's dynamic economic heart, a city of powerful history, vibrant townships and art, where many safari journeys begin.

The Apartheid Museum tells the story of segregation and resistance with great power, and Constitution Hill, a former prison where both Nelson Mandela and Mahatma Gandhi were held, is home to the Constitutional Court. In Soweto, Vilakazi Street is famous as the street where two Nobel Peace Prize laureates, Mandela and Desmond Tutu, once lived, and the Hector Pieterson Memorial recalls the student uprising of 1976.
