We visited Mandela's House as part of a morning stop over in Soweto. The house itself is small but thought provoking.
I would suggest visiting the area with a local or as part of an organised group so that you are able to safely enjoy all Soweto has to offer.
Not a lot to see, per say. The building surrounding the house gives the impression that it's a lot to see. It's like any other shack in Soweto. Furniture and some personal items. There are no pictures allowed inside and no video on premises. But having said that. Once you leave out from the house, the whole street is alive and popping. Zulu dancing men in complete costumes. They put on a very energetic show for you. The street vendors are everywhere and will pressure you to buy. Everything is negotiable and worth the hassle. Keep your money close to you, and don't flash large sums. There are guides there that direct you to parking, give him 50 Rands, and it's worth it. He will keep the non vendors from begging you. Can't think of anything else of importance, but as detailed as I am trying to be, nothing compares to the experience. None African pay more for admission. YOLO

Definitely need to take a walk to feel the sensual atmosphere and see the history of our people. There's restaurants, bars, Kota places and beautiful views.
