Do not miss. Made my South Africa trip! - An absolute must. Incredibly informative visits to places that provide a window into the modern soul of South Africa. Instead of just chauffeuring, Nathi was a wealth of fascinating information. He gave thoughtful and intelligent responses, challenging me to ask questions and think about the social and political circumstances of South Africa’s past and present. While we couldn’t visit the Apartheid Museum (closed Tuesday and Wednesday) I didn’t miss it because Nathi brought me to places where history is alive. We saw the home where Mandela hid and was captured, prison number 4 where they held Mandela and other political male and female prisoners, Mandela’s home in Soweto, a wonderful Soweto lunch, memorials to students and protesters against apartheid, and so much more. Nathi took me to the woman’s prison (not even on the tour) where one of the women showed me the prison she endured for 7 years having been captured with Winnie Mandela at age 12 (she’d been training to shoot as part of the ANC!) Thank you Palesa Musa for reliving your prison experiences with visitors. The long day flew by with Nathi. I’m afraid now I’m spoiled; I can’t imagine another tour coming close.
