Day 10 Johannesburg
Today you will be picked up for you full day Soweto and Apartheid Museum tour with lunch at Sakhumzi.
You know the name. It’s a legend. SOWETO, acronym for South Western Township, is home to over 2 million people, who, despite living in crowded and chaotic conditions, have a tangible sense of community, one which ironically, the ordered, walled, elitist northern suburbs lack.
Inside Soweto, you will visit the Hector Pieterson Museum, and discover the cause of the tragic riots which led to his death; drive past Mandela House, and give you time to visit this fascinating little museum (own account).
Your journey continues to Regina Mundi Church, site of many secret underground meetings of the then banned political parties. Finally you are taken past the largest stadium in Africa, Soccer City, host of the 2010 FIFA World Cup Final - this magnificent stadium is now nicknamed ‘The Calabash’ for its resemblance to the African Pot.
Soweto is unlike a suburb you’ve ever seen or been to, yet the history of struggle encapsulated here is a cornerstone of the South African story.
There will be a stop for lunch at Sakhumzi Restaurant in Johannesburg.
Sakhumzi is a casual and comfortable restaurant situated in one of the most culturally rich areas.
It proves to be a great place to eat at after sightseeing, because this street is home to the house of Archbishop Desmond Tutu, the Nelson Mandela museum and the Hector Peterson Memorial! Generally full of locals, Sakhumzi serves good old Soweten cuisine all day. Try some Soweten Mogodu, or the specialty buffet (with meat stews, steamed bread and salads). Pick up a drink from the full bar, head to their courtyard and mingle with the crowd.
After lunch you will visit the legendary Apartheid Museum. This is an interactive voyage of discovery, one which takes you from the dark days of, whites only, privilege, through to Nelson Mandela's historic release. This tour includes a pickup from your Johannesburg hotel in your private vehicle with a driver/guide. You will then be taken to the Apartheid Museum accompanied by your guide. The Apartheid Museum is a multimedia experience, with documentary film snippets, texts, sound clips and live accounts, recapturing life in the dark days of South Africa.
It's a fascinating tour, filled with tales of bravery and sadness, but ultimately, it's a story with the right ending. You will then be dropped off at your Johannesburg hotel.
After a full and busy day you will return to your hotel for an evening of leisure.
Accommodation: Michelangelo Hotel - Superior Room (B, L)
