The energetic South Western Townships of Johannesburg is a smorgasbord of history. While Soweto is today very much a developed suburb of Johannesburg, it has an incredible story and wonderful, welcoming community. This tour focuses on the struggle against apartheid but also on the impressive development of Soweto in recent decades. We visit historic spots like the Hector Pieterson Museum (site of the 1976 Soweto uprising), the Mandela House Museum in Vilakazi Street, the Regina Mundi Church and historic Kliptown (historic Walter Sisulu Square of Dedication). We also stop at either Sakhumzi or Chaf Pozi for lunch and drinks.
