Overview
This 1-day combo tour explores the vibrant heart of Soweto and the natural beauty of the Lion & Safari Park. The morning is dedicated to the history of Soweto, visiting iconic landmarks such as the FNB Stadium, Hector Pieterson Museum, and Vilakazi Street — the only street in the world to have housed two Nobel Peace Prize winners. After exploring the "city within a city," the tour shifts to the 1,000-hectare Lion & Safari Park in the Cradle of Humankind. Here, guests participate in a guided game drive in a specialized safari vehicle to track lions, cheetahs, and wild dogs. The experience provides a perfect blend of cultural insight and wildlife observation in a malaria-free environment.
