Getting Here and Around

Various companies offer bus tours, but we suggest hiring a private guide or joining a smaller group tour, because you'll get one-on-one attention and be able to ask any and all questions. You can also ask for a special-interest tour, such as one centered on art, traditional medicine, restaurants, nightlife, or memorials. Most tours start in Jo'burg, and you can arrange to be collected from your hotel. We strongly suggest that you take a guided tour if you decide to visit Soweto . It is a chaotic, virtually indistinguishable sprawl. Even if you found your way in, you'd struggle to find your way out—let alone around.
