Why Soweto?
Soweto (South Western Townships) is home to over 1.3 million people and is one of the most historically significant places in South Africa. From the Hector Pieterson Memorial to Vilakazi Street — the only street in the world to have housed two Nobel Peace Prize winners — every corner tells a story.
What You'll See
On our Soweto experience, you'll walk through Orlando West, visit the Mandela House Museum, and sit down for a proper South African meal with a local family. Our guides are born and raised here — so you hear the real stories, not the rehearsed ones.
Tips for Your Visit
- Wear comfortable shoes — you'll be walking.
- Bring some cash for the local market.
- Ask your guide questions — they love talking about their neighbourhood.
- Don't leave without trying the umngqusho (samp and beans).
