Only 10% of the population live in poverty but in contrast Soweto also has the highest concentration of millionaires in the country.On the tour you will visit a shantytown.The shacks have electricity, there is running water and the council even collects rubbish once a week! You will talk to the locals and may be invited into their homes or schools. You will see Barragwanath Hospital (the largest in the world), the local market and the largest taxi rank in Africa. The Hector Pieterson Museum was established to pre-serve the history and the memory of all those who were involved in the Soweto uprising of 16 June 1976. Soweto has the only street in the world where two Nobel Peace Prize winners live. Nelson Mandela's house is now a Museum, but Desmund Tutu still lives here.

The knowledge and skill have been passed down from generation to generation and, up until recently, has been a sustainable practice. With increasing numbers of people visiting the Delta each year, more mekoro are needed and as a direct result, more and more sausage trees are being felled and the sausage tree is sadly disappearing from the region. A traditional wooden mokoro will have to be replaced every five years, thereby placing increased pressure on the dwindling sausage tree supply. Sunway Safaris has established a project to encourage polers in the local communities to buy replica fiberglass mekoro, which have a lifespan of approximately ten years, are more stable and are produced without any negative affect to the environment. Sponsorship for each fiberglass mokoro is needed, and if you would like to contribute, please speak to your guide or the Sunway office. We thank you for your support.
