The right address for visiting Soweto, with great staff, which will organize a bike or tuktuk tour with experienced guides around the township. A very clean hostel that goes out of its way for its guests, organizes evening gatherings and prepares delicious local food.

I had a very pleasant stay at Soweto Backpackers. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, going out of their way to make me feel welcome and comfortable. They were always available to answer any questions I had. The hostel was clean and well-maintained, with comfortable beds and plenty of space to relax and socialize. The location was also a highlight. There are plenty of activities that you can book at the hostel!
