Lonely Planet review for Liliesleaf Farm

Liliesleaf Farm, the secret headquarters of the African National Congress (ANC) during the 1960s, reopened as a museum in June 2008. It tells the story of South Africa’s liberation struggle through a series of high-tech, interactive exhibits.

    Thank you! I left Liliesleaf as a changed man

    bragert recommends this,

    I grew up in a post Apartheid South Africa and never really knew what the people of color went through, one of my friends suggested that we go to Liliesleaf for the day... I was in for a treat, the way that they presented our history was really out of this world, it really changed my perspective of what the "Struggle" was all about and what these people went through on a day to day basis in order to gradually get South Africa to become a democracy. Therefore if you have any interest in history and heritage or just want to experience something unique and fun in Johannesburg, go visit liliesleaf in Rivonia and be prepared to have your mind blown away.

    Really awsome experience

    grenville1 recommends this,

    The way that the tour was conducted was fun, professional and mind boggling, they have good technology that tells the story of "Umkhonto we Sizwe" and how they planned and acted to overthrow the Apartheid government. It is a definite "thing to do in Johannesburg". So if you are in Johannesburg and looking for something fun and informative to do. Visit Liliesleaf and get your mind blown away.
