What To Expect

Constitution Hill Human Rights Precinct

After pick-ups, we make our way to Constitutional Hill in
Braamfontein for a guided tour of this iconic institution.
Constitution Hill is a living museum that tells the story of South
Africa’s journey to democracy. The site is a former prison and
military fort that bears testament to South Africa’s turbulent
past. Today, it’s home to the country’s Constitutional Court which
endorses the rights of all citizens. We cross over the striking Mandela Bridge on our way
into
Johannesburg CBD. Named in honour of Nelson Mandela, the
284-metre long bridge is the largest cable-stayed bridge in South
Africa and links two significant business districts.
