Witness the sobering reminders of apartheid as you follow in Mandela's footsteps.
Your full-day tour will trace the early life of South Africa’s most iconic leader, Nelson Mandela, from when he arrived in Johannesburg to the infamous Rivonia Trial leading to his 27 years of imprisonment. The Tour follows a roughly chronological order of important events in his life, beginning with Mandela Yard in Alexandra, where he rented a room while studying and working as a clerk in a law firm. Next is Constitution Hill, a human rights precinct that acknowledges past horrors while embracing the promise of the future and incorporates the Old Fort Prison. In this notorious jail, political prisoners, including Mandela, were incarcerated. Then, lunch at 'Sanctuary Mandela', one of his final resting places and the eventual headquarters of his Foundation. The Tour concludes with a visit to Liliesleaf Farm, widely regarded as the birthplace of Umkhonto we Sizwe (MK), the armed wing of the ANC. Here, a police raid on the 11th of July 1963 resulted in the Rivonia Treason Trials and the eventual incarceration of many senior ANC leaders, including Nelson Mandela.
