About this tour
The National Museum of Military History school tour, in Saxonwold, Johannesburg, is a flagship CAPS-aligned History excursion for Grade 1–12 learners. The museum holds some of the rarest military equipment in the world, including a surviving Messerschmitt Me 262 jet from the Second World War.
Learners walk through halls of aircraft, armoured vehicles, artillery, medals and uniforms, exploring the World Wars, the Border War and South Africa's wider military heritage. Educators link the exhibits to History curriculum themes — global conflict, nationalism, technology and the human cost of war.
Wilrien School Tours handles the full educational excursion package: bus transport (if required) from your school, museum entry, professional guiding and teacher support — making it one of the most requested History school tours in Gauteng.
