Private Johannesburg and Soweto tour

As you will find out on the private Johannesburg and Soweto tour, South Africa’s largest city remains its financial and commercial heart. It’s in this fast-paced metropolis that the country’s radical political and social transformation is most evident – this is the ‘Rainbow Nation’ at work. The Soweto township is at the centre of South African culture and music. SOWETO, acronym for South Western Township, is home to over 2 million people, who, despite living in crowded and chaotic conditions, have a tangible sense of community, one which ironically, the ordered, walled northern suburbs lack.

Enjoy a drive through the city of Johannesburg, visiting old and new hip areas like Hillbrow and Newtown. We also visit Constitutional Hill for a background into the strides the new South Africa has made in its short democracy, including tour of the Jail, Court and Old Fort.

Then discover Soweto and the surroundings areas, driving past well known landmarks such as: Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital, Orlando Power Station, University of Johannesburg Soweto Campus, Maponya Mall, various shanty houses, Walter Sisulu Freedom Square, Soweto Hotel, Regina Mundi Church, Hector Peterson Memorial Site, Vilakazi Street, Nelson Mandela Family House (entrance fee not included).
