Top Johannesburg Day Trips

This was an excellent tour! Our guide Lindela was an amazing source of information. We learned so much on this tour. The fact that it was a private tour made it even better. This was the best way to experience the highlights of Johannesburg and Soweto.

Solly was terrific to work with!!! Reached out directly to arrange pickup at out Airbnb, so helpful!!! There were only four of us on the tour, and our drivers were very polite and helpful. Nice van. Cave tour might be challenging for much older or very tall participants, but worth it! And the museum was very interesting and especially nice for children if they like interactive learning. Great experience and would highly recommend.

This was an excellent overview tour of the city, especially if you have limited time. Especially interesting was the add on Soweto tour: a MUST! The live guide for that tour was out standing, knowledgeable and loves his job! We do the bus in all new cities a d we’re reluctant here because holiday had the museums closed but the ride, sites and I formation were plentiful.

A great way to spend the one day I had in South Africa! Pick up and drop off from my hotel at the airport made it easy. It was a long drive to and from Johannesburg, but worth it! I saw 4 of the big 5 on my first ever game drive, plus many other species. Martin was an excellent guide, he clearly cares and knows a lot about the animals.

This is a realistic view of Soweto and the history of the end of apartheid. I learned a ton and I also cried. I recommend this to anyone who actually wants to understand that part of South Africa. Also I would like to reiterate that we always felt safe and our guide Cpho was excellent and wonderful to talk with.

This tour/programme is a very well-organised and packed one. You will have a long and busy day, but at the end of the day you will be full of sense of pleasant satisfaction and you will say 'It was worth doing that'. Our guide, Thapelo was a perfect guide. He was helpful, well-organised, concentrated. He provided a lot of information, kept time strictly (it was needed because of the number of visited sites). We got everywhere in time and had everywhere enough time to enjoy the sites. If you are interested in or want to be involved into the history and culture of South Africa, or to understand why South Africa is like as it is today, this tour is a perfect choice. Highly recommended.

Do Lilieleaf Farms!! We could have spent 5 hours here. This was a ‘replacement’ for the Apartheid museum (which is closed Monday and Tuesday) but we felt much better. Our driver Nathi was full of information, tailored our tour a bit and answered every question so thoroughly. We saw Mandela’s home, office, sites of apartheid resistance, the constitutional courthouse which was the former prison and several other significant sites. All tours were great and the lunch stop was traditional. A fabulous way to gain a great understanding and feel for what apartheid was and how it was overcome, and the history of Johannesburg.

I cannot recommend this experience highly enough! If your schedule does not allow for a visit to the major game parks or a full-day safari, I wholeheartedly suggest this encounter. Let me start by highlighting the punctuality of our guide, Cpho, who greeted us warmly at our accommodations. During our journey to the park, we engaged in a delightful conversation covering a multitude of topics. Cpho took care of our entry requirements and provided us with a brief overview of the park's facilities. After that, we were given a moment to enjoy a drink before it was time to board the safari truck. When the moment arrived, Cpho ensured that our tickets were in order and liaised with the park guides to facilitate a seamless experience. I cannot recommend this vendor and this activity highly enough!
