Start your day on historic Vilakazi Street, the only street in the world once home to two Nobel Peace Prize winners, Nelson Mandela and Archbishop Desmond Tutu. Visit the Mandela House Museum to explore Madiba’s childhood, his fight for freedom, and his lasting legacy. Tutu’s home, though not open to the public, is part of the Johannesburg Heritage Trail.
