Soweto Sightseeing Tour

Half Day Soweto Tour

Visit some of the most poignant reminders of South Africa’s apartheid past on this tour of Soweto


Overview
This tour introduces you to the sprawling metropolis of Soweto (South Western Township), situated on the outskirts of Johannesburg. Travel around the city's informal settlements and affluent suburbs to get a feel of the town's turbulent history. See the Mandela House, a small house in Orlando West, where Nelson Mandela lived with his first wife. Wander around the four inter-linked rooms and see an assortment of photographs, paintings and family memorabilia of the world’s most famous prisoner.

Hector Peterson Memorial is yet another significant landmark, named after a 13-year old boy who was shot dead in the early days of the Soweto uprising. The Hector Peterson Museum offers a glimpse into Soweto’s struggle against apartheid and its turbulent history.

On this tour of Soweto, let its important historical landmarks draw you into South Africa’s struggle against apartheid and its fight for equality.
