Taking a tour of Soweto Township in South Africa is a must do when you’re in Johannesburg. Not only is it worthwhile to understand the life and history for over 5 million people who live there, but it brings much needed tourist money to help combat Jo’burg’s 42% unemployment rate.

Room is very basic. Windows are very good to control noise, but the planes fligth over the hotel when landing - so you may hear the noise from time to time (not so many fligths). Restaurant is good (the option breakfeast + diner we took was excelent). Staff is amazing.
