• VILAKAZI STREET TOURISM - Vilakazi Street is unique as the only street globally that was once home to two Nobel Peace Prize laureates—Nelson Mandela and Archbishop Desmond Tutu. This tour allows visitors to walk through this historic area, experiencing the spirit of resistance, resilience, and hope that characterized the struggle against apartheid. The guide will share compelling stories and cultural insights that bring Soweto’s most renowned street to life.
• Hector Pieterson Museum and Memorial - Explore the Hector Pieterson Museum, which honors the memory of the 1976 Soweto Uprising. Discover the student protests that shook the nation and contributed to global pressure against the apartheid regime. Through poignant exhibits, photographs, and interviews, visitors will gain an understanding of the bravery and sacrifice of young people who fought for their rights—most notably 13-year-old Hector Pieterson, whose tragic death marked a pivotal moment in South Africa’s history.
• Mandela House - Visit Nelson Mandela’s former home on the historic Vilakazi Street in Soweto. Now a museum, Mandela House (8115 Vilakazi Street) provides a powerful and intimate look into the life of South Africa’s most iconic leader.

Originally constructed in 1945, this humble red-brick house was where Mandela lived with his first wife Evelyn, and later with Winnie Madikizela-Mandela before his imprisonment. Despite its modest size, the house is rich in history, filled with original furnishings, family photographs, memorabilia, and historical documents that bring Mandela’s story to life.

• Soweto - Dominating the Soweto skyline, the Orlando Towers are more than just remnants of a former power station—they are now a vibrant symbol of urban renewal and artistic expression. Adorned with bold murals and cultural imagery, the towers also offer adventure activities like bungee jumping and paintball (optional). Stop here for a photo opportunity and soak in the energy of one of Johannesburg’s most creative spaces.
• FNB Stadium - Situated on the edge of Soweto, FNB Stadium—fondly known as Soccer City—is the largest stadium in Africa and a powerful emblem of both sporting excellence and South Africa’s political transformation.

Designed in the shape of a traditional African calabash (clay pot), this architectural marvel can accommodate nearly 95,000 people and is celebrated for hosting some of the most iconic moments in recent South African history.

Highlights:
2010 FIFA World Cup Final: The stadium was the main venue for the World Cup, hosting both the opening and final matches. It’s where Spain claimed their first World Cup trophy and where the world saw Africa shine on a global stage.
