Soweto Township & Apartheid Museum
Walk in Mandela's Footsteps — Where History Was Made
About This Tour
Step into the pages of history on this deeply moving full-day tour through Soweto — South Africa's most iconic township and the cradle of the anti-apartheid movement. Your journey begins at the Apartheid Museum in Johannesburg, an internationally acclaimed museum that chronicles the rise and fall of apartheid through powerful exhibits, film footage, and personal stories.
Then travel to Soweto itself — a vibrant city of over 1.5 million people pulsating with energy, music, and resilience. Walk along Vilakazi Street, the only street in the world where two Nobel Peace Prize winners lived: Nelson Mandela and Archbishop Desmond Tutu. Visit the Mandela House Museum, preserved as it was when Mandela lived there.
Pay your respects at the Hector Pieterson Memorial, honouring the 12-year-old schoolboy whose death during the 1976 Soweto Uprising became a turning point in the struggle against apartheid. End with a visit to a local shebeen (township pub) for a cold beer and conversation with residents.
