Journey to Freedom

Many South Africans gave much; some gave all, to achieve a truly democratic South Africa. This full day tour shares some of the journey, pain and struggle of those heroes; witness the places, experience the diverse museums where these momentous, tumultuous years have been so well documented. The day begins at the Hector Pieterson Museum where you will discover the cause of the tragic riots which led to his death. You will pass Mandela House, before your journey continues to Regina Mundi Church, site of many secret underground meetings of the then banned political parties. Lunch will be enjoyed in Soweto at a local restaurant before visiting 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. 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.
