About Constitution Hill in Johannesburg

The Constitution Hill lives as the witness of the turbulent and struggling past of South Africa.

This place bears a museum that depicts South Africa’s struggling journey to democracy. Along with bearing a testament to the country’s past, Constitution Hill Johannesburg also stands as the home to South Africa’s present constitution court. Tourists have taken interest in Constitution Hill ever since it started as a museum more than a decade back. One can take a guided tour of the place and know all the details including the symbolic significance of the court and the old prison and also the Gandhian exhibition.

Constitution Hill History is of interest to many. This place earlier used to be the site of a fort which was later started being used as a prison. After declaring the old fort as a national monument in 1964, it kept on functioning as a prison till 1987. Eventually after facing neglect and vandalism, Constitution Hill got declared as a museum in the year 2004. From Nelson Mandela and Mahatma Gandhi to Albertina Sisulu and Fatima Meer, they all served time here. Apart from them, many common people were also confined here during the century long history of Constitution Hill. The tale of the life of every South African can hence be traced from here. Visitors get to go to 3 prisons: Number four, the women’s Goal and the old fort. The site also features the constitutional court and its collection of 200 South African artworks.  Hence, it won’t be wrong to say that anyone who wishes to know South Africa cannot afford to miss on the Constitution Hill.

S's 5 days trip to Johannesburg

The team at TravelLykke have been very professional in their approach right through. They have been very patient and understanding of the requirements and accommodative to all kinds of doubts and queries and options too. Fairly transparent in the dealings and have a good set of on-ground contacts in S Africa who too have been professional and on time without delays and exceptions. A suggestion: there were some legs where we were informed we need to take Uber (to & fro Robben Island & Table Top Mountain). For the kind of spends done by us (Rs 3 Lakhs +) overall, it would have been helpful if these too could have been accommodated in the package. It is the nuisance value of having to book, wait etc. Also more minute detailing of the Full day Cape Peninsula tour could have been share earlier - we got it on landing from the local guide and it was very educative. Why not share this ahead of time? Some travel agencies give a backpack or travel kit (the amount of Rs 3 Lakhs is HUGE) with your branding. In this case it is singularly absent. Wonder why? We stayed in 3 hotels - Emerald Guest house in Johannesburg (Rating Poor to Good only); Kruger Park Adventure Lodge ( Excellent); Holiday Inn Express at Cape Town (Excellent).

Mayankmaki's 9 days trip to Johannesburg

The trip was very well organised and all our requirements were met. We had issues due to flight delays and we were late for one tour, our travel planner Mrs Prerna was very helpful and proactive to adjust the tours to accommodate everything. From last minute hotel booking to providing rental car , she was quick to respond and also regular reminders before trips to ensure smooth communication between us and South African operators. Would surely recommend their services The views with clouds sliding in all around the mountains and ocean at the cape point during the cape peninsula tour.

Aniruddha's 9 days trip to Johannesburg

We had an amazing trip to South Africa. It is a beautiful country to visit with very hospitable people around. Everything went well without any hiccups. The hotels, cab drivers and other details were well planned by Nikhil from Besten/MK Holidays, special thanks to him. Some elements which can be improved were the visits planned during our stay at Knysna as they were quite some distance away from our hotel. Will definitely recommend Travel Triangle to others for planning their trips.
