In a “Long Walk to Freedom” he described the residence as “no more than a shack, with a dirt floor, no heat, no electricity, no running water. But it was a place of my own and I was happy to have it.”   Lilieslief Farm The Farm was secretly used by African National Congress activists in the 1960s. It provided a secure location where the underground leadership could meet. Nelson Mandela secretly lived and operated at the Farm under the name of David Motsamayi.   Chancellor House The Chancellor House is a building that once housed the law firm of Nelson Mandela and Oliver Tambo. Between 1952 and 1956, Mandela and Tambo had a thriving law practice, trying to help others who were accused of crimes against the state and disobeying the draconian laws of the time. Nowadays it is a national heritage site.

Top Tips for Safari Tours in Africa While Pilanesberg private safaris are known for their safety and luxury, it is still best to remember that the reserve is home to a large number of wild animals. To ensure that you get the most from your safari, consider these safari tips: 1. Make sure that you stay in your car during game drives, unless your guide gives the all-clear to step out of the vehicle 2 Remember that the Black Rhino Lodge is situated within the game reserve – do not walk around after dark, especially not without a guide 3. Do not ever attempt to feed or approach wild animals that you come across, and keep a safe distance at all times 4. With no malaria to worry about, and clean drinking water, there are no major health risks to worry about 5. The sun can be very strong in Southern Africa, especially at peak times of the day between noon and 4pm – be sure to wear sun protection at all times on all safari tours in Africa
