Overview

A day tour of Soweto township offers you the chance to experience the heart and soul of a busy city within a city. Learn the history culture and the vibrant lifestyle of Soweto. Soweto was created in the 1930s, with Orlando the first township established. In the 1950s, more black people were relocated there from black spots in the inner city- black neighbourhoods which the apartheid government had reserved for whites. Soweto's growth was phenomenal - but unplanned.

We had a brilliant tour with NK. We only had half a day in Johannesburg and he was really flexible and started the tour early so we could fit everything in. He is a lovely chap; hugely knowledgeable and a great communicator. He made us feel totally at ease during the tour. We learned so much, not just about Joberg and Soweto but about South Africa in general. We had so many questions on subjects from football to politics and he patiently answered them all. He pitched the tour perfectly and even my 12 year old enjoyed every minute. We also loved visiting The SHALK Community Project which does brilliant work and were glad that we were able to support it through the tour. I highly recommend NK and his tours.

Amazing customer experience. I was very impressed by Nkuli, he provided me with an amazing customer service, he is very detail-oriented, responsive and kind, and thanks to him, my trip to Johannesburg and Soweto was magical. Nkuli adapted to all my last minute needs (airport pick up and drop off, change of travel dates, etc.). Captivating visit of Johannesburg and Soweto with Nkuli who is very knowledgeable and gave me a detailed history of Johannesburg and South Africa and took the time to show me various neighborhoods of Johannesburg, Soweto, including the Apartheid Museum, the Hector Pieterson Museum, Nelson Mandela House and Vilakazi where we had a delicious lunch. Highly recommended at all levels. A million thanks to Nkuli, he is very talented and coordinated my trip so well since Day 1, he is a real gem!
