Additional Information
Soweto is emblematic of the hard-won battle against apartheid. Looking past the brutal legacy of the uprising on June 16, 1976, and beyond the stern facade of resistance politics, we find the heart of Soweto - its inhabitants. Soweto revolves around its citizens - their everyday activities including work and commuting, rejoicing and mourning. Witness the disparity between the poverty of settlements consisting of shacks and a hostel, against the affluent suburbs of Diepkloof in Soweto. This tour guarantees a heartening exploration of this intriguing locale.

Exceptional Tour with Joseph! - Our guide, Joseph, was so knowledgeable and willing to answer all our questions. He shared his personal experience living in South Africa and made our visit feel very hospitable. I HIGHLY recommend Jeff Tours and ask for Joseph!

Joseph is a great guide - Joseph was AWESOME, he was easy to communicate with, as I had a ton of questions and needed some flexibility with the schedule. He took us all over and patiently waited for us when we were in the Apartheid Museum, as we took a long time going through it, it is extremely well done and worth the time. It was nice to see where Nelson and Winnie lived as well as learning more about the struggles from the past, (Hector Pieterson) and from the present day, and to realize how much we didn't know!
