Overview

This tour provides the traveler with a rare opportunity of visiting very popular attractions which have significantly contributed towards South Africa being the leading African tourist destination.

Visit World’s greatest exhibition in bronze! Long March to Freedom is a one-of-a-kind monumental procession of life-size bronze statues, telling the story of 350 years of South Africa’s struggle history through the lives of the persons represented.

The Guides here are ex-political prisoners and ex wardens who either worked or were imprisoned at the same time with political prisoners like Nelson Mandela.
