One-Day Guided Soweto Adventure Tour

Kick off your adventure with a scenic horse ride at the Soweto Equestrian Centre – a one-hour experience that supports both the welfare of horses and the upliftment of disadvantaged children. This ride offers a soulful journey through Soweto’s spirit and landscape, blending purpose with exploration.

Next, head to Orlando for the renowned Soweto Bicycle Tour, created by local entrepreneur Lebo Malepa of Lebo’s Soweto Backpackers. This two-hour guided ride is a fun and energetic way to explore Soweto beyond the car window. Pedal through significant historical landmarks, including a former migrant workers’ hostel, the vibrant community of Meadowlands, the Hector Pieterson Memorial and Nelson Mandela House on the iconic Vilakazi Street.

Pause for lunch at Sakhumzi Restaurant, located right on Vilakazi Street in Orlando West. With authentic African township cuisine and an atmosphere steeped in cultural pride, it’s a deliciously fitting stop that complements the heritage-rich surroundings.

Wrap up the day with a thrill at the Soweto Towers — a repurposed cooling tower site transformed into a vertical adventure playground. Established in 2007, Orlando Towers now offers bungee jumping, a power swing, internal swing, lift rides to the viewing platform and regular ramp jumping events. Whether you’re there to catch panoramic views or embrace gravity-defying excitement, it’s the perfect finale to an unforgettable tour.
