Explore the township of Soweto

Soweto is a neighborhood in Johannesburg that is known as a township. It's an area that black people were forced to live in during the times of apartheid. Very often this was in poor condition, though some people who had more money had really nice houses here too, so don't think it was an area for poor people to live. Nelson Mandela was probably Soweto's best known resident and you can still visit his house. Other interesting spots in Soweto include the two towers that are now used for bungee jumping. Try to find a local restaurant and you can enjoy traditional South African food such as boerewors en mieliepap. Though you can visit the area on your own, by car, it is probably more convenient to go with a tour as the guide can explain everything to you in detail. #createwithtrip #culturewalk
