Experience Soweto by bike!

These popular tours take you out cruising the vibrant streets of the township. Visit places like migrant worker’s hostels, Meadowlands, Hector Pieterson Museum, Nelson Mandela’s and Bishop Tutu’s house and finish it of with a relaxing cold drink at the local shebeen.

Guided tours around Soweto can also be arranged by car or walking around in the community.

SOWETO It sounds like a delightful African name, but the word is actually an acronym for South Western Townships.

It is a sprawling township, or more accurately, a cluster of townships on the south-western flank of Johannesburg. Soweto was created in the 1930s, with Orlando the first township established.
