Overview
Soweto, established during the apartheid era, played a pivotal role in the fight for racial equality, with key events like the 1976 Soweto Uprising shaping South Africa's history.
Our tour begins at the Nelson Mandela House, a historic site where Mandela and his family lived from 1946 to 1962. We'll explore the neighborhood, visiting a local community outreach program where kids create art. Next, we head to the Hector Pieterson Memorial Museum, a moving tribute to the 12-year-old boy who became the first victim of the 1976 uprising.
Afterward, we go to The Soweto Towers, which are located within the decommissioned Orlando Power Station in Soweto, South Africa. They have been repurposed into an adrenaline-pumping adventure center, offering a variety of thrilling activities. Join us for an unforgettable journey through the heart of Soweto's history!
Lastly, we end up at the Soweto Towers doing the city viewing experience.
