Many South Africans gave much, some gave all, to achieve a truly democratic South Africa. Come with us on this full day tour which shares some of the journey, pain and struggle of those heroes; witness the places, experience the diverse museums where these momentous, tumultuous years have been so well documented.
Our day begins at the Hector Pieterson Museum, where we start to unravel the cause of the devastating riots, before travelling past Mandela House, where you have the option of visiting this small museum (own account). Our next significant stop is the fascinating Regina Mundi Church, site of so many of the underground meetings of the then banned political parties. Standing there, you can feel the tension; picture the intensity, the strain on the faces of those unthinkably brave souls, commited at any cost to changing the way of life of a nation. We've chosen to lunch in Soweto at a local restaurant (own account), before visiting the legendary Apartheid Museum. This is an interactive voyage of discovery, one which takes you from the dark days of 'whites only' privelege, through to Nelson Mandela's historic release. The Apartheid Museum is a multimedia experience, with documentary film snippets, texts, sound clips and live accounts, recapturing life in the dark days of South Africa. It's a fascinating tour, filled with tales of bravery and sadness, but ultimately it's a story with the right ending.

Wild and wonderful, that's for sure. The day begins early with a professionally guided, closed vehicle game drive into Big Five country; the Pilanesberg National Park. Who knows which of the Big or Little Five you'll see? Close neighbour to this superb natural reserve, is Sun City, one of South Africa's most popular theme resorts, and you'll have full access to the casino for a little flutter or two. For the really curious, you'll want to visit the Valley of Waves and Swimming Pools or enjoy a guided tour of the Lost City (both for own account). It's a fabulously relaxing day ....and might even prove very profitable for some!

We're going right back to our beginnings, to the exceptional World Heritage Site of The Cradle of Humankind. The superb Maropeng Visitor Centre is truly an exciting, world class exhibition, focusing on the development of humans and our ancestors over the past few million years. Then, on with those comfortable shoes ....we begin our tour above ground at the nearby Sterkfontein Caves where the famous Mrs Ples and Little Foot skull and skeleton were discovered ....then go deeper into the caves, where you feel the history and strong sense of identity. It's a fascinating Centre with superb exhibits. We visit a nearby lion park, home to lions and exquisite cheetah, and we have the opportunity not only to watch but to interact with lion cubs. You'll love them. From the beginning of civilization, to the rawness of the wild - you'll have experienced both ends of the spectrum today.
