Soweto homestays are designed to help you to become part of the family and experience life as it is lived in that family. As such, there is no set itinerary for such visits. There are, however, some more common activities that you will most probably participate in. These include the early morning tasks of boiling water for washing yourself, cooking breakfast (usually soft porridge) and eating breakfast with some of the family members. During the day you will spend time playing with the children, walking in the township and perhaps volunteering in a community project or school, learning language, resting and helping to prepare the evening meal. Sometimes after supper you may visit a shebeen (traditional pub) or music venue, play games with the family or have discussions about culture or the politics of South Africa.
This holiday is operated by a company based in Soweto and they will be able to provide expert local knowledge. They will be able to tailor make your homestay to suit your requirements not only concerning the dates of travel but also typically the standard of accommodation.
