Every visitor to South Africa should spend their first (or last) 24 hours in Soweto, it will set the vibe for the rest of your visit. See options for self-drive, collection and transfer, and the full-day local guidning experience.

Note:  Here we accommodate and transfer you to and from the airport at greatly discounted prices if you are using one of our Safari / Cape Town options.

Having spent three months on preparing the website while accommodating visitors in our Soweto Home-stay, and now following a very successful 2010/2011 initiative, the 24 hours in Soweto concept has further developed.

We will collect from the Airport and most places in central Johannesburg, aimed at you arriving and joining us in Soweto from 'day 1'.

You will be introduced to your hostess and following the brief introductions to the home-stay and familiarization's with the family and your new home, you will be left to enjoy Soweto as part of the family.

Here we need to draw your attention to the information around what you need to understand about home-stay, in order that you will be in the position to achieve the most during your experience, communication, and in particular communication initiated by the visitor is essential.

Meals are taken with the family, as eat-out venues are not always available. 

 Beers (not included) by the quart are cheaper than anywhere else in the world.

In order to get the greatest benefit of your 24 hours visit to Soweto, our guides are available to give you the full-day experience while you are with us, always giving consideration to the link between you and your 'family.

Your guide/ the host family will entertain you for the full period you are in Soweto, covering 24 hours, plus a few, (or less)

Should you stay an additional night, cost R 300 pp, per night, we believe that a guided Soweto tour is not necessary on the additional day, if you are staying with a family in Soweto, we will provide you with our guided experience that will take you to most corners of Soweto at a discounted price of R 120 pp on the additional days. Excluding local mini-bus taxi, lunch, and museum fees.

Being part of a family within the Soweto community will give you an experience you will never forget. There is only love and warmth on the streets of Soweto, and Taste of Africa will assist you with any planning for the rest of your visit to South Africa.

The safety that you will feel, the love and warmth in the community, will permit you to travel through the rest of South Africa, without keeping to the ‘bubble’ that our industry tends to keep you in.

24 hours in Soweto is an ideal start and end to a Kruger Park / Shangaan Village experience.
