Contrast Tour Including Sandton, Alexandra, Johannesburg and Soweto
By Atamela Tours
This tour begins with an in-depth visit to Sandton and Alexandra, the richest and poorest sections of the city. Riding through the opulence of Sandton, you will see how the most well-to-do residents live. As you leave, you will immediately enter Alexandra, called “Alex” by the residents. You will visit two shanty homes and interact with the residents to find out how they cope with their extreme poverty and the oppressive living conditions — no water and very cramped space. This tour through Sandton and Alexandra, Jo’burg city center and Soweto will show in stark reality the inequalities that still exist. As you visit the people, you will be amazed at how these two communities embody the freedom and reconciliation that was won at such a high price.

Wir haben mir Thuli im Februar 2019 die Kontraste Tour gemacht. Wir hatten Glück und waren die einzigen Gäste an dem Tag und sind in den Genuss einer Privat-Führung gekommen. es war sehr interessant. Thuli spricht super deutsch und wir haben auf der Tour eine ganze Menge über Südafrika im Allgemeinen und Johannesburg im Besonderen erfahren. Wir würden sofort wieder buchen.

Nachdem ich an einigen Touren in Johannesburg teilgenommen hatte, bin ich durch einen Zufall auf Thuli aufmerksam geworden. Ich kann nur jedem empfehlen, sich gleich an Thuli zu wenden, denn ihre Touren sind informativer und aufschlußreicher als
alle, die ich kennengelernt habe. Nicht das Übliche hier sehen sie dies und das, sondern man bekommt einen tiefen Einblick in die Situation des Landes, wie es funktioniert oder auch nicht funktioniert. Thuli liebt ihre Stadt und das Land, hat aber eine deutliche Meinung zu den Dingen, die nicht so toll laufen. Zudem ist sie eine offene, neugierige sehr herzliche Persönlichkeit, mit der man prima diskutieren kann.
Ich werde Thulis Dienste beim nächsten Aufenthalt inJohannesburg auf jeden Fall
wieder in Anspruch nehmen. Vielen Dank Thuli, bis nächstes Jahr

Sehr gute Führung für alle die an mehr interessiert sind als nur an den „üblichen“ Sehenswürdigkeiten einer Stadt.
Thuli bringt euch mit viel Engagement das Leben und die leider immer noch bestehenden, extremen Unterschiede der Südafrikaner näher.

Stadtführer ist nicht erschienen. Führung hat nicht stattgefunden. Wahrscheinlich gibt es die Firma bzw. die Stadtführerin gar nicht (mehr). Achtung Abzocke.

Thuli bot uns einen interessanten Einblick in die südafrikanische Geschichte und Kultur in Vergangenheit und Gegenwart und das Lebensgefühl der Südafrikaner. Sie vertrat hierbei klare und fundierte politische Positionen und man konnte mit ihr auf hohem Niveau über alle Fragen Ihres Landes diskutieren. Sie verfügt über hervorragende Deutschkenntnisse und hat durch ihren Aufenthalt in Deutschland einen erweiterten Horizont. Wir haben eine wirklich kontrastreiche Tour in Johannesburg und Soweto erlebt, perfekt organisiert. Da wir in Kempton Park wohnten, mussten wir die Fahrt zum Treffpunkt in Rosebank selbst organisieren. Wir waren die einzigen Gäste und wurden im Privat-PKW sicher zu allen Punkten begleitet und konnten dabei auch mehrere Straßen zu Fuß erkunden. Sehr eindrucksvoll war der Besuch im KliptownYouthProgram in Soweto, das in Eigeninitiative von Menschen gegründet wurde und bis heute geführt wird, die unter ärmsten Umständen leben müssen.
Danke Thuli!
