2-Day Johannesburg Cultural Experience
Spend two days exploring South Africa's cultural roots on this short break from Johannesburg.
Spend two days exploring South Africa's cultural roots on this short break from Johannesburg where you will discover its turbulent past during the uprising of Soweto and the creation of humankind at Maropeng.
Get an insight into everyday life in the fascinating village of Soweto, a sprawling metropolis on the outskirts of Johannesburg. Drive along the only road in the world, which carries the honor of two recipients of the Nobel Peace Prize. See the Hector Pieterson Memorial, a symbol for youth resistance to apartheid. Hector was one of the first students to be killed during the Soweto Uprising of 1976, he was only 12 years old at the time. Marvel at the Chris Hani Baragwanath hospital, the largest hospital in the world, occupying an area of 173 acres.
Discover the origins of humankind at the Origins Centre in the heart of Johannesburg. Combining cutting edge technology with the creative vision of South Africa's foremost artists, the narrative structure of the museum takes visitors through an extraordinary journey of discovery.
Continue to Maropeng and visit the UNESCO World Heritage Site known as The Cradle of Humankind. Here you can embark on an underground boat ride into the lime caves beneath the Tumulus (ancient burial mound) where you will learn about the history of humankind through exhibits that are interactive and educational. Great for the whole family.
