4-Hour Apartheid Museum Tour in Johannesburg with Mandela Sites

We pick up travellers from all hotels, guesthouses, and other locations in Johannesburg and Pretoria.

Explore the museum on a self-guided tour at your leisure until it is time to depart. There are 22 individual exhibition areas showcasing different time periods under brutal apartheid rule. The exhibits are well presented and include provocative film footage, photographs, text panels, and artefacts illustrating the events and human stories of a turbulent period in South Africa during the apartheid era.

Learn about the rise and fall of apartheid, South Africa's racial segregation system that remained in force until the early 1990s.

Spend two to three hours exploring the museum, embarking on a journey through the country's history, from the dark days of oppression to a time of healing founded on the principles of democracy.

Discover what life under apartheid was like, learn about political executions, the significance of June 16, 1976, Nelson Mandela's release from prison, and his election as South Africa's first black president.

The Apartheid Museum is internationally recognized as the best museum of the 20th century. The museum unpacks the story of the rise and fall of South Africa's era of segregation and oppression. A visit to the Apartheid Museum is both depressing and inspiring, emotional yet uplifting. After the two to four hours you spend inside, allow yourself another half an hour to contemplate the brutality you witnessed, process your shock, and walk away with relief - knowing you are on the terrain where truth spoke to power and won.
