This is a city of contrasts - modern, brash, a melting pot of different cultures and people, and yet very young. From the earliest Iron Age peoples to the financial powerhouse of Africa - this city has seen it all. Why is this city here? No water, on rocky slopes - an unlikely setting. Growing from farmland to a city of over 120, 000 in 4 short years, weathering wars, foiling a coup, violent strike action resulting in armed insurrection to the final struggles against apartheid - it all happened here. Trace the softer sides of the city, such as the farmer who left a legacy that lasts to this day, the site of the gold strike that started it all, and see wonderful images of the old Johannesburg at the Ferreiras Mine Museum. Admire the headgear and stamp mill in Hollard Street, and find out a bit about the characters that shaped this city with their eccentricity. We tour Soweto - site of the student uprising that caught the world's attention and can visit a variety of museums, depending on interest.
- We drive through the suburbs discussing the history of the city - We pass Emmarentia dam and it's story, the oldest house in Johannesburg, and a city nature reserve - Through Melville, Brixton and on to the site of the first gold strike at George Harrison Park. - Into the city to Newtown, Mary Fitzgerald Square and MuseumAfrica - Chancellor House and the small outdoor museum - Down Diagonal street to the Main Street Mining Mall - Past City Hall to Carlton Centre and on to Soweto. - Hector Pieterson Memorial - Mandela House - Walter Sisulu Square of Dedication - Past Orlando Towers and Baragwanath Hospital Museums available are the Apartheid Museum, Origins Centre, Constitution Hill, Hector Pieterson, and Mandela House - you choose. PLEASE NOTE: This itinerary is flexible, and I can change it on the day depending on your interests. Museum visits are limited by the time available. PLEASE CHECK WITH ME REGARDING MUSEUM OPEN DAYS.
