This tour combines the SOWETO and Johannesburg tours and includes some or all of the following:

* Constitution Hill – houses the new Constitution Court and the old Fort Prison Complex (better known by locals as Number 4). Nelson Mandela, Mahatma Gandhi and many other political prisoners spent time in this jail. The holding cells for women political prisoners still look like the time when Winnie Mandela and others were occupants of the cells. The videos of those prisoners narrating their time in this jail will make you really understand the horrors of apartheid.

* Museum Africa - which houses many fascinating geological specimens, paintings and photographs relating to South Africa’s music, mining, art, politics, development and photography.

* Top of Africa at the viewing gallery at the top of the tallest building in Africa, The Carlton Centre, you will have a panoramic view of the whole of Johannesburg.

* Vilakazi Street – the only street in the whole world where two NOBEL PEACE PRIZE winners lived at the same time – Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela (Madiba), hero of The Struggle and the Republic of South Africa’s first democratically elected president, and Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Mpilo Tuto, tireless campaigner for civil rights. This is the same street where on June 16, 1976 the first victim of the SOWETO uprisings, Hector Pieterson, was gunned down by the police when students were protesting about among others the use of the Afrikaans language as a medium of instructions in schools.

* Nelson Mandela Museum – the house that Nelson Mandela lived before he was arrested in 1962.

* Hector Pieterson Memorial & Museum - a museum about the SOWETO Uprisings when over 600 South African black students were killed by the police for protesting against among others the use of the Afrikaans language as the medium of instructions at schools.
