Tour of South Africa
Walk off the beaten track and learn a lot about the history of South Africa and everyday life of locals.
Visit Sandton and Alexandra, two townships different from each other - and therefore reflect the contrasts of South Africa perfectly.
Meet and talk to the locals in both quarters and hear stories "straight from the horse's mouth" as they say. Learn more about the history of the gold strike which led to the birth of a whole nation, the imperialism which threatened it and the discrimination which almost destroyed it. Moreover, you will hear about the fierce human spirit that saved and freed this nation.
City Tour of Soweto
Get an idea of the reality of this country.
On the way through Soweto, pass the Baragwanath hospital, the biggest hospital in Africa. Visit a kindergarten and the Catholic church Regina Mundi which has been named a national monument due to its commitment against the Apartheid.
See the monument of Hector Pieterson, one of the first children to have been killed during the political distempers of 1976, as well as the Hector Pieterson museum. The tour continues past the Mandela family house museum where Mandela lived with his family before he was arrested.
The last stop in Soweto is at one of the many Shebeens, the former illegal bars or restaurants that developed during the Apartheid. Since the African people were not allowed to buy or sell alcohol, they did it in these so-called Shebeens. They were also a safe meeting point for political discussions.
Have dinner after which the tour will end.
