What are people saying about Johannesburg

KaWai_Y, Nov 2026

A must in Joburg!

I joined the tour to Joburg and Soweto with Lebo. It’s definitely a must to do it while in Joburg. He’s familiar with the city, and everything is well organised. Joburg isn’t the safest city in the world, I’m happy that he drove me through Hillbrow, so I can see the real side of Joburg. The tour also includes Soweto, where we can look at the lives of different classes in the township. It also includes the visits to Constitution Hill and Mandela House, with a local guide, and also a self guided visit to the museum. It’s a really fruitful day, and I learnt a lot more about the city, and South Africa in general. The car is also comfortable, and picked me up from my hotel at Sandton and I feel safe all the time. Everything can be communicated through WhatsApp, with quick reply. Thank you so much Lebo for all the sharing about the city and the country!

Johannesburg Apartheid Experience

Great experience today with tour guide Griffith in the Soweto neighborhood, Mandela's house and apartheid museum. He was nice and knowledgeable and always helpful answering any questions we had. Small group of four on this particular tour and made for a nice layover learning experience and would recommend to anyone who wants to know more about this South African history.

LokHangSeth_L, Nov 2026

Great time learning about the history of SA! 🇿🇦

It was a memorable experience joining this tour with Lebo; we had a great time learning about South Africa and he did a good job explaining the exhibits and the different locations for us. He was also a part time photographer for us at the different monuments while showing us the different main attractions. Recommend this tour!

Taste of Africa Food tasting Experience

Rachel_G, Oct 2026

Don't sleep on this food tour!

We had a great time with Donet and the foods of several African countries. The flow was good, a mix of driving & walking with history & facts mixed in that expanded beyond just the food. His energy & enthusiasm was just right. Our hotel pickup & communication were seamless. I would recommend packing your own wet wipes/napkins and your own water.

An Excellent Johannesburg / Soweto Tour

We had an amazing day exploring Johannesburg and Soweto with Pastor from Mhlanganisi Travel and Tours. His 20 years of experience really showed, and his exceptional knowledge of the area’s history was impressive. It was a crash course into the complex and difficult history of apartheid. Pastor was passionate about sharing his city with us. We highly recommend him to anyone visiting the Johannesburg area. Date of experience: October 2026

Full Day Ultimate Pilanesberg National Park Safari from Johannesburg or Pretoria

Jet657156, Oct 2026

Best safari!

We did our tour with Guide Petros, he is simply brilliant! There is always a plan, it explains a lot about the animals and the savanna, always being very fun! Thank you Mo Africa, Petros, and the driver of our van, the trip was memorable, and the lunch was very delicious ❤️ P.S.: part of my family does not speak English, and even so Petros did everything to include them, he always had a lot of patience to wait for us to translate for them what was being said, professional and human a 10.

Half Day Lion Park tour from Johannesburg or Pretoria

John_C, Oct 2026

A great tour that should not be missed

This was a fantastic opportunity to get up close to lions in their natural habitat. There were several prides of lions to visit, and the secure vehicle lets you get right up next to them as they go about their day. In addition, there were opportunities to see lion feeding, cheetah feeding and wild dog feeding. This is a tour not to be missed!

ANGELA_B, Oct 2026

Great guide and tour.

We had a great tour with Thabiso today. He was very knowledgeable and was easy to talk with. I asked a million questions and he was happy to answer them. The tour was excellent and very much an eye opener. Learnt a lot about the areas we went to. Found it very safe. Would recommend this company and especially Thabiso.

Johannesburg City Tour(Half-day)

Alyssa_S, Oct 2026

Great fun and informative too!

We had an amazing tour with our guide Kat! He showed us several areas of the city and is very knowledgeable. He is super friendly and we highly recommend him and this tour company! We especially enjoyed learning more about Nelson Mandela and seeing areas where he lived and worked. A highlight on the tour was Constitution Hill.

Cradle of humankind & Maropeng/sterkfontein caves tour

Prabuddha_B, Aug 2026

Must do tour of Sterkfontein Caves and the Cradle of Humankind museum.

I went on a tour of the Cradle of Humankind and Sterkfontein Caves near Johannesburg with Swangs Safaris. My guide for the day was Katlego. Katlego picked me up perfectly on time at my hotel. Swangs Safari kept me informed where was supposed to come snd when he had reached the hotel pickup point. Katlego is a very polite, smart, young man with the innate skill to connect with people. I wish him all the success in his career. The drive to the Sterkfontein Caves was about an hour but Katlego explained the different neighborhoods and regions we were passing through. The caves were exciting and we learned a lot about the prehistoric site and the fossil digs. Then we went to the Cradle of Humankind museum. It was also very informative. I was not a huge fan of the little boat ride inside. I had a wonderful day and highly recommend Swangs Safaris and my guide, Katlego.

Two day Kruger National Park Safari from Johannesburg

Zoltan_S, Jul 2026

Kruger Safari

Excellent tour of Kruger National Park! Well worth for those that can only spare two days. Our guide and driver were excellent! Be prepared for long days to see flora and fauna of the famous Kruger National Park. There were lots of animal encounters during our visit. Both the evening/night safari and the full day safari were excellent. At the camp we were treated exceptionally well by the hosts.

Full Day Pilanesberg Experience in Open Vehicle

Amelia_C, Apr 2026

My first time at a safari...

My first time at a safari and it was a thrilling experience spotting all the different animals in their natural habitat. We saw 3 out of the big 5 - elephant, lion and rhino - and a bunch of others. I'm writing this review after also visiting Chobe National Park and I found that the animals in Pilanesburg tended to be further away in the distance and required some sharp eyes to spot. Appreciated my sharp-eyed guides and fellow travellers who made this a fun experience.
