SOUTH AFRICA - Soweto bike tour
South of Johannesburg is Soweto, a city developed as a township for black people under the apartheid system. Most of the struggle against apartheid was fought in and from Soweto. The name Soweto is an acronym from the first letters of the words “south western township”. Soweto was home of Nelson Mandela.
Cycling Soweto with Lebo's Soweto Backpackers
I stayed at Lebo's Soweto Backpackers and did their famous Soweto bicycle tour; the route takes you through various neighbourhoods, where you visit historic and cultural places of interest, like Vilakazi Street (this is the only street in the world to have housed two Nobel Prize winners; Nelson Mandela and Archbishop Desmond Tutu) the Nelson Mandela house and the Hector Pieterson monument.
Lebo's Soweto Backpackers has cycling, walking and Tuk Tuk tours through Soweto. The cycling tours are priced from R550, with discounts for overnight guests.

Soweto is a township southwest of Johannesburg, South Africa. It was started in the 1930's when the Apartheid government separated Blacks from Whites under the Urban Areas Act in 1923. In Soweto, all 11 official South African languages are spoken, but IsiZulu is the most widely spoken language.

Our Soweto (short for South Western Township) bicycle tour totally blew our minds. We started at the Orlando Towers and visited one of the many informal settlements in South Africa, where we got an insight into their way of life. The settlement has taken the initiative of starting Nomzamo Kids Centre, where children from the community are supervised, fed and taken care of everyday. We also got to see Vilakazi Street, which is one of the most significant historical places in South Africa and not only holds the Nelson Mandela house in Soweto, but is the only street in the world where two Nobel Peace Prize winner once lived, Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Nelson Mandela.
When it comes to exploring Johannesburg, taking a Soweto bike tour is, undoubtedly, one of the best things to do in Johannesburg.

Johannesburg and Soweto || 2019 South Africa Travel Vlog Part One
As part one of our 2019 South Africa Travel Vlog, we visit Johannesburg and Soweto, South Africa. Lebo's Soweto Bicycle Tours was an awesome way to experience Soweto. After our tour we visited downtown Johannesburg and the incredible Sandton mall. I know this video is a bit different than others I've posted, but like I've said before, this channel was created as a platform for me to share my adventures, and visiting South Africa was a pretty big one!
