ABOUT

Relive your days at Wits University (or experience Wits for the first time) with an entertaining stroll through the historical buildings of East Campus. 


Led by a retired Professor of Architecture, this guided walk and heritage exploration covers the principal buildings as well as a range of interesting purpose-built academic structures. Along the way, we’ll discuss the origins of the university, discover some hidden relics from the past, and celebrate the alma mater of many Joburg residents.


With over 100 years of history, this fascinating tour of East Campus is a great way to spend the afternoon in great company. 


Please note: this is a moderately energetic walk from top of the hill to the bottom and back again. Please wear good walking shoes and bring along water, sunblock and a hat.
