Day tours in Cape Town and Soweto |
Johannesburg:
Soweto Township tour: Visit one of the biggest Townships in South Africa - Soweto, 12 miles south-west of Johannesburg, comprises of 33 townships with a population of 3.5 million people and experience their day-to-day living. With a local guide you will meet the inhabitants, a visit to the busiest taxi rank in Johannesburg, the Hector Peterson Memorial, the Mandela's house, the Vilakazi street (which is the only street in the world where two Nobel Peace prize winners lived), Regina Mundi church (home to the famous Black Madonna and Child painting) and the enormity of this township.

There are hundreds of shops, markets, restaurants, bars, the spectacular Ocean Aquarium, boat cruises in the Harbour, trips out to Robben Island (probably the most famous island due to the fact that Nelson Mandela was held there as a political prisoner for many years. It is now a national museum), listen to some of the street musicians and much more. |
