OR Tambo Cultural Precinct Reviews
More info about OR Tambo Cultural Precinct
Named after a past leader of South Africa’s ruling party, the O. R. Tambo Cultural Precinct in Benoni outside of Johannesburg was built in recognition of Oliver Reginald Tambo’s contribution to South African society. Tambo was the lesser known partner (for those in the West at least) in the Tambo-Mandela legal firm of the early 1950s. He and Nelson Mandela had studied together and had formed a strong friendship before starting the practice. Tambo was to go on and lead the African National Congress for 24 years before passing away in 1993 at the age of 75. Key to his success as a leader was his great legal mind and negotiating skills and the O. R. Tambo Cultural Precinct is a fitting tribute to him.
The precinct is located in the Wattville township where he and his family lived for much of their lives and their gravesite has since been declared a National Heritage Site.

About Cottages
Guests escape the noise and bustle of lodges by opting to stay in either fully self-catering or bed and breakfast cottages. Self-catering cottages are a home away from home and come fully equipped with everything guests need. Most self catering cottages also come with a cleaning service, Dstv, and a private patio/entertainment area. Guests who opt for bed and breakfast cottages enjoy their own private patio/entertainment area, luxury amenities, Dstv, and cleaning service. There is often a small kitchenette, if guests wish to do a little cooking, and a relaxing lounge area. Cottages are ideal for families, small groups of friends and couples wishing for a more private retreat.
