This usually occurs around 6pm, but can vary slightly - we would be able to confirm this time closer to the start date of the tour.

      Here is the itinerary for Day 1:

      Arrive at any time.
      (If you arrive a day or two early, we recommended booking an excursion to Soweto or the Apartheid Museum.)
