Description
Discover the rich cultural heritage of South Africa's townships on a private day trip from Johannesburg. Meet friendly locals, learn about the city's vibrant historic past, and immerse yourself in the colorful atmosphere of these fascinating communities. Be picked up from your hotel in Johannesburg and head to the affluent suburb of Houghton Estate. Pass by the house of Nelson Mandela, where he lived during his presidency and died in 2013. Stop at the Munro Drive Viewpoint, a national monument built by Italian prisoners of war during World War II. Admire the scenic view of the world's largest man-made subtropical forest. Drive through Hillbrow, a neighborhood that reflects the influx of immigrants from across Africa. Pass by the Nelson Mandela Bridge, a striking landmark of Johannesburg. Continue to the Constitution Hill Human Rights Precinct, a former prison and military fort that bears testament to South Africa’s turbulent past. Learn about the site's history and its significance in the country's journey to democracy. Drive through the mining district and stop at the Standard Bank Ferreira Mine Stope, one of the very first prospecting sites in the city. Next, visit the Maboneng Precinct, a newly rejuvenated part of town that was once abandoned. With a mix of restaurants, coffee shops, clothing boutiques, art galleries, and retail and studio spaces, the precinct brings life back into the city. Continue to the Apartheid Museum, which unpacks the story of the rise and fall of South Africa's era of segregation and oppression. Afterward, drive past the FNB Stadium, the largest football stadium in Africa. Head to the Diepkloof Park, an upmarket part of Soweto with the most professionals living in the section. Pass by the Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital, the third-largest hospital in the world. Stop at the Orlando Towers, a prominent landmark in Soweto. Drive to Vilakazi Street, the only street in the world that can claim to have had two Nobel Laureates as residents. Visit the Sakhumzi Restaurant, located on Vilakazi Street near the Mandela House Museum. Feast on a variety of traditional South African dishes such as umngqusho (samp and beans), mogodu (tripe), and dombolo (steamed bread). Explore the Mandela House, a museum in the former home of Nelson Mandela. Visit the Hector Pieterson Museum and Memorial, a symbol of resistance against the brutality of the apartheid regime.
