Guided Walking Tours in Soweto, Johannesburg.
South Africa’s complex history is best told by locals and what better environment to take in this epic tale than Soweto where so many aspects of the countries turbulent road to democracy is expressed. A guided walking township tour of Soweto will immerse you into a précised journey of South Africa from 1948 to now; from mining and its devastating impact on communities to the fierce struggle against apartheid. But its not only a story of doom and gloom. All the qualities that make South Africans so resilient, resourceful and vibrant take shape here too. Innovative businesses, crafts, jazz and blues and laughter spilling out of doorways, the colourful buzz of daily life will mingle with visits to reflect on more sombre reminders.
Soweto guided walking tours are fun and interactive and follow a relaxed pace that will include visits to the homes of struggle icons and Nobel prize winners Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu, as well as the memorial wall honouring children who died in the Soweto youth uprising of 1976.
