Lebo's Soweto Backpackers

Head out to the famous suburb Orlando West and get a unique experience. Get to know Soweto by walking the streets and learn the township lingo – Tsotsi Taal, join our tours – cycling or walking, play soccer with the locals and watch the big games. Volunteer in one of our community projects and meet people that make development happen. Take a walk to museums, restaurants and shebeens. Visit the church and sing to the gospel tunes. Enjoy a delicious braai around the camp fire and dance to the local beats from drums and kwaito music. We're proud to be one of the few black-owned backpackers and one of the few backpackers in a black community in South Africa. 2007 Tourism Investment Award winner!
