Adventure

Soweto

soweto township

   An unrivalled, urban adventure One of the main elements that creates the unique, thriving experience we call Joburg is Soweto. This township appeared on the landscape in the 1930s and although having initially been formed under the apartheid regime, has defied all labels and historical connotations and become a city in its own right. It is a place that is full of stories, pictures, culture and life and, quite simply, has to be visited when in town. Soweto contains some of the most prominent historical links to our country’s apartheid past.
