12 Day Johannesburg, Kruger, Cape Town & Victoria Falls Safari

Day 1: Johannesburg Please book your international flight into Johannesburg to arrive in the morning in order to be able to join the tour of Soweto and Johannesburg in the afternoon. If this is not possible, we can book an additional night in Johannesburg for you. One of our representatives will meet you at the airport. Depending on the time of your arrival, you may have time to go check into your hotel first. Should your flight arrive between 13h00-14h00, you will go directly on the afternoon tour and check in at your hotel after the tour. The tour includes a panoramic view of the city, a drive within the business district, visit to traditional African shops, the bohemian Hillbrow and Museum Africa in Newtown (closed on Mondays) and the cultural district of Johannesburg. From here we move on to Soweto. A sprawling, self-sufficient home to millions, Soweto grapples with democratic change, but its spirit resonates in a plethora of shebeens. The tour takes you past the Barragwaneth Hospital, the biggest hospital in the Southern Hemisphere, the Hector Pietersen Monument, the Regina Mundi Church, Kliptown and Vilakazi street, the only street in the world where 2 Nobel Peace Prize winners used to live!
