Lesedi African Lodge is a multi-cultural village set amongst the pristine bushveld and rocky hills less than an hour’s drive north of Johannesburg. Situated at Lesedi African Lodge are five traditional homesteads – the Zulus with their fighting sticks and cosy beehive huts, the Xhosa with their perfectly thatched ‘rondawels’ and distinctive white blankets, the rhythmic drums and whistles of the Pedi tribe, the conical straw hats and thick, coloured blankets of the Basotho and the colourful homes of the Ndebele.
Families peacefully living their traditional lives inhabit each homestead at Lesedi. Additional huts for each village have been constructed in each homestead offering the unique opportunity of staying with a traditional rural African family – however, all home comforts have been catered for including cosy beds and beautiful en suite bathrooms with showers
A tour of Soweto’s highlights and historical sites is a must do for everyone. On this tour you will visit the Hector Pieterson memorial. Experience what it felt like being a student in the 70’s and 80’s living in township under the apartheid regime.
Experience a visit in our Gallery Home with an educational snake show and also see fascinating artworks created by the home owner. A visit is not complete with sampling the traditional food served with homemade Ginger beer/Umqombothi (traditional beer). At the end of our tour we pass by the Nelson Mandela’s residence on Vilkazi Street.
The tour kicks off on 2nd Avenue we visit King's Cinema, an out-of-service movie theatre dating back to 1968, but was rebuilt after it was bombed by apartheid forces in 1984.
Gallery Homes are next on the agenda. At the Gallery home on 4th Avenue we view Alexandra Township through the eyes of local artists. View paintings that depict the development of Alexandra and even other themes that provoke the mind. Just off 7th Avenue we visit Tumi, another artist at his Gallery Home and studio where there is a collection of works on canvases depicting everything from dreams and visions, world icons, and abstract imagery.
End the tour with a pass by Nelson Mandela’s first residence in Alexandra Township when he first came to Johannesburg.
Travel along the heroic footpaths of our freedom fighters and experience the city of Johannesburg and Soweto through their eyes on this full day tour. Experience a theatrical freedom tour de force with your theatrical tour guide, dressed in costume and in character for a full day. Enjoy your experience while being guided by Walter Sisulu (a former leader of the ANC), Ruth First (anti-Apartheid activist), or even Nelson Mandela (anti-Apartheid activist).
Highlights include Liliesleaf Farm, the Regina Mundi Church, a photo opportunity at the Soweto Cooling Towers, and the Hector Pieterson Memorial (photo opportunity only), the route of the uprising and place where Hector Pieterson was shot. The Hector Pieterson Memorial honours the role that South Africa’s students played in the struggle against Apartheid and in particular the role that school children who took part in the 1976 Soweto protests played. Liliesleaf in Rivonia used to be the headquarters for the liberation movement and a safehouse for its leaders in 1960, and the Soweto Cooling Towers (Orlando Towers) have become one of the most distinct landmarks in Soweto, previously serving as a coal-fired power station.
We drive past Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital, view Nelson Mandela Bridge (photo opportunity, not crossing the bridge), Mary Fitzgerald Square and general Newtown sites. Enjoy lunch (for own account) at a restaurant in Vilakazi Street, Soweto’s most famous street, since it is the only street in the world to have housed two Nobel Prize winners: Nelson Mandela and Archbishop Desmond Tutu and family. We visit the homes of Desmond Tutu, Nelson Mandela and Winnie Mandela (photo opportunity only).
Freedom Square (officially called Walter Sisulu Square) in Soweto, the Carlton Centre and Constitution Hill Prison and Court in Johannesburg CBD also play a fundamental part along this riveting storytelling route. It was at Freedom Square (Walter Sisulu Square) where in 1955 the Freedom Charter was drawn up, as an alternative vision to the Apartheid state. Take a riveting journey to freedom and be transported to a place filled with intrigue and drama!

This is a secure, urban neighbourhood where residents, businesses and visitors form a growing number of people making up the heart and essence of the city of Johannesburg.
