Full description

Get closer to Apartheid History with our Soweto and Apartheid Museum Tour from Johannesburg

The Apartheid Museum Museum will be our first stop as you dig deeper into the dark apartheid history of South Africa. This will be a 2-hour tour of the museum before heading into Soweto township. On arrival, you visit Mandela House Museum and get a 30-minute guided tour into his former house before he was sent to prison. The Hector Pieterson Museum will give you some inspiration on the language resistance uprising of 1976.

Finally, drive by Orlando Towers and the World Cup Stadium to finish the tour.
