Taste of Africa
Offers something different from the zoolike township tours. It offers tours where you can explore Soweto on foot or by minibus with a local guide, hang out with locals in a shebeen, and visit areas far from Soweto’s beaten tourist track for a more authentic experience. Staff can organise rooms in guest houses in less-visited parts of the township as well as shack accommodation (R100 per night).
