What are people saying about Johannesburg

Troy_A, Jun 2026

Must experience while in Joburg!

Great informative day in Johannesburg! KG was an amazing tour guide with a great deal of interesting and detailed information. I would recommend the private tour as you can tour at your own pace. KG was on time, flexible, personable and just overall allowed us to have a great day. The history of Joburg is interesting, sad and quite heavy but it must be something you experience first hand while visiting South Africa.

Johannesburg City Tour(Half-day)

Denise_T, Jun 2026

Very good insight into Johannesburg....

Only the two of us on this tour - we were taken to all the points of interest and some places we would not have been able to visit if alone as not particularly safe... Saw Constitution Hill, Prison visit, Mandela Square etc Good tour and would recommend

Full Day Ultimate Pilanesberg National Park Safari from Johannesburg or Pretoria

Jeffrey_E, Jun 2026

Fantastic First Safari Experience

This was a fantastic first safari experience. Our Pilanesberg guide was T-Man and he worked very hard to find us as many examples of the wildlife in the park. He answered every question that was posed to him with interesting and sometimes humorous responses. We were able to see Rhinos, Hippos, Giraffe and numerous other animals. Sadly, the lions and leopards decided to go into hiding. I highly recommend this tour that will give you a great taste of a safari.

Johannesburg and Soweto tour

Magnar_S, Jun 2026

Johannesburg

With a transit stop in Johannesburg this is a perfect way to get a good and quick understanding about Johannesburg and the history. My guide Kgaogelo was funny and have a lot of knowledge about the city, and it was a safe trip even driving through some of the not so nice are in Johannesburg

Soweto /Johannesburg and Apartheid Museum Guided Full Day Tour

Connie_F, May 2026

Not to be missed! So enlightening and moving.

Definitely an insightful, educational day spent with our driver and tour guide, Tshepo. The history of South Africa and what its people went through during Apartheid to acheive freedom was a testament to their courage and determination. Tshepo was so knowledgeable about what we were seeing and added to our experience.

Johannesburg Hop-On Hop-Off City Tour with Soweto Option

Mxolisi_N, Apr 2026

Great experience,...

Great experience, fantastic Guides! Definitely recommend! I recommend take the first bus if you also want to do the soweto trip. I took the 12:20 bus at rosebank and took no food stops just did the soweto trip and the day was finished. Took the last bus at 16:30. But if your plan is just sightseeing then Definitely go for it!!!!!!

Lion & Safari Park

William_B, Apr 2026

Perfect Safari Experience for First Timers and the Cautious

The Lion and Safari Park was the perfect experience for us, especially given that my girlfriend has a real phobia of animals. This was a great way to ease into it without feeling overwhelmed. From the start, everything was well organized. Our driver picked us up and gave us an outstanding overview on the way, setting the tone for the day. Once we arrived, our guide took over and did an excellent job. Knowledgeable, engaging, and made the entire experience comfortable and enjoyable. We were able to see a wide range of animals in a controlled, safe environment, which made all the difference. It gave us the opportunity to experience the wildlife without the intensity of a full safari. For me, it was a great introduction and definitely confirmed that I will be back for a full safari experience next time I’m in South Africa. Highly recommend this for anyone looking for a well run, informative, and accessible wildlife experience.

Half Guided Day Tour of Soweto And Apartheid Museum

MarieLouise_V, Apr 2026

Highly recommend this half day tour

Our tour was a really good way of learning more about the history and hardships of the people of South Africa. We only had a day in Johannesburg so this tour was perfect! Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable and answered all the questions we had. Parts of the tour are incredibly sad but it is essential to learn what happened. Can highly recommend this tour.

Half Day Lion Park tour from Johannesburg or Pretoria

Isabella_W, Apr 2026

What a great experience!

The Lion Park was worth every penny! If you’re able to go on a feeding day it makes the trip that more spectacular and exciting. I got to witness 3 feedings (Lions, Cheetahs and African Dogs), other encounters included black leopard, Ostrich, Giraffes (which I got to feed), lots of other animals.

Two day Kruger National Park Safari from Johannesburg

Kathryn_Y, Feb 2026

A must-see from Johannesburg!

Wow! Just wow! Logistics getting out to Kruger were wonky, but the great customer service efforts made it work for me. Once there, the arrival at the glamping tents and subsequent 4 hrs evening tour were awesome! Dinner afterwards was scrumptious! Next day 9hr day tour (like 350 kilometers!) with breaks for breakfast and lunch, was even more outstanding. The close-ups of all the animals and how many different ones we saw were SO amazing! The mountains! The views! MJ was the day tour guide and he was terrific and SO knowledgeable! I can't say enough great things. In two days you see the min, but wish there was a 3 day option. But two days good, you see the animals you have dreamt of!

Half-Day Tour to Rhino And Lion Reserve in Krugersdorp

Jen_B, Jan 2026

Best. Day. Ever.

Our tour with Griffin was incredible! He was so informative and we learned so much. He was just a joy to be around and it was a day we will never forget. His hospitality and care for our experience was top-notch and we could not have been happier with the day we spent with him. This particular day of our vacation will stand out as the best day in South Africa. Many thanks to Griffin and Solly for taking such good care of us!

Safari Flight

Experience of a Lifetime: Hot Air Balloon Ride

Our hot air balloon pilot, Ianthé Honiball, a young South African, was waiting for us in the lobby. We got signed in and waited for the other passengers. Finally, around 5:00 am we piled into a van and headed to the field from where the balloon was to take off. The support crew had already started prepping the balloon and within 15 minutes it was time for us to load up. The Cameron Balloon for 8 passengers apparently holds 250,000 cubic feet of air, which takes into account the temps, combined weights of the passengers and pilot, wind speed, and the lift needed. Once our pilot was certain everything was per calculation, she gave the green signal that it was time. Ianthe is an excellent pilot and took the time to give us a running commentary on what she was doing. She even allowed us to pump hot air, as needed. We were aloft for about an hour over beautiful country, which is home to some zebra, impala, and other herbivores, along with farms and ranches. We ranged in altitude from around 4,000 feet to a bit over 5,000 feet. I made the observation that it was tranquil and peaceful to be aloft, which the pilot and others agreed. It was really cool to see Ianthe coordinate with her ground crew to find the spot to land. She had prepped us on how we had to crouch as we landed, which she nailed perfectly! After the landing, per hot air balloon tradition, we got to partake of champagne and got our certificates!
