Johannesburg and Soweto, Half Day Tour

Vilakazi Street, Orlando West, Johannesburg, South Africa

African Eagle Johannesburg Day Tours

Explore the heart of Johannesburg, characterized by its geometric layout and towering skyscrapers, evoking memories of Manhattan. Proceed along the route to Soweto, Johannesburg's southwestern district, which serves as a poignant testament to the struggle for liberation.



Departing from your hotel, proceed towards the southwestern outskirts of Johannesburg. Proceed along the city's southern suburbs, where you'll encounter a variety of sleek vehicles and expansive freeways.

Subsequently, immerse yourself in the bustling heart of Johannesburg, an urban landscape characterized by towering skyscrapers, many constructed during the apartheid era. As you journey further, traverse to Soweto, a township rich in historical significance.

Upon entering Soweto, the breathtaking vistas gradually give way as you approach the iconic landmarks that once served as generators but have since been transformed into popular venues for bungee jumps. Continue driving through Soweto, making sure to pass by these significant sites before reaching the renowned Hector Pieterson Museum. This museum offers a glimpse into the tumultuous history of the township, focusing particularly on the events leading up to the youth uprising in 1976.

Proceed onward, enjoying the sights and sounds of Soweto, before concluding your tour at the Mandela House Museum located on Vilakazi Street. Here, you can delve into the life and legacy of Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela, the revered leader who has become an international symbol of hope and perseverance.

Afterward, return to your hotel via the scenic route, passing by FNB Stadium, more commonly known as Soccer City or The Calabash. This venue played host to both the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2010 FIFA World Cup final, marking another highlight of this unforgettable journey.
