The actual farm where Nelson Mandela and other ANC leaders hid during the apartheid era and were ultimately arrested in 1963, Liliesleaf is a deeply significant heritage site with well-curated exhibitions and multimedia installations. The restored farmstead and archive-quality documents give it an authenticity that few liberation-era sites can match. It sits in the leafy northern suburbs, making it far more accessible and comfortable to visit than some inner-city heritage sites.
