This tour gives the visitor a good introduction to South Africa as it travels back in time during the dark ages of the country and gives the background and establishment of the city of Johannesburg, the history of the country, and the current or present situation of the country. One will learn where South Africa comes from during the days of apartheid when the country experienced the worst times of Apartheid years, taking you through the transition when Apartheid ended and the birth of a new Democratic South Africa in 1994 and how we managed to overcome the dark times and achieved freedom without a terrible civil war.
