Descrizione
Uncover South Africa’s soul on a half-day journey through Soweto’s streets and the Apartheid Museum — where stories of struggle and triumph come alive with your local storyteller-guide.
Step into the living story of South Africa’s freedom on this half-day cultural and historical journey that blends Soweto’s heartbeat with the Apartheid Museum’s powerful legacy.
Your adventure begins with hotel pickup in Johannesburg and a scenic drive past the city’s changing skyline before arriving in Soweto, where history meets daily life. With your guide — a local storyteller raised in the area — you’ll explore Vilakazi Street, the only street in the world that was once home to two Nobel Peace Prize laureates: Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu. Visit Nelson Mandela’s house and optional lunch break in the beautiful street of Vilakazi.
Pause at the Hector Pieterson Memorial, a symbol of the 1976 student uprising, and hear untold personal accounts that shaped the spirit of modern South Africa.
Then, travel to the Apartheid Museum, a world-renowned institution that traces the journey from oppression to freedom through immersive exhibits, films, and testimonies. Feel the emotion of the past — and the pride of a nation reborn.
End the day with reflection and a scenic return to Johannesburg, carrying the stories of resilience and hope that define South Africa’s soul.
