What are people saying about Johannesburg

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.

TAKUJI_T, Oct 2026

One of the best tours I have ever joined in my whole life

This tour was amazing! I swear it was one of the best sightseeing tours I've ever joined! Lebo, the tour guide and driver that day, was very friendly and knowledgeable, and he answered all of my random questions. Some of the places on the tour in particular the Apartheid Museum, are graphic though; there were many more things to learn.

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

a great tour

Even though this was a long drive from Johannesburg, it was well worth the time to get there. There were many opportunities to view many animals in their natural habitat, and the park itself provides spectacular scenery and many photographic opportunities.

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.

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.

A must do in Johannesburg

Had a great half day tour with our guide Brian. He was excellent at explaining bits and pieces on our way through Johannesburg to the different areas we were visiting. The Soweto walking tour was a real eye opener. Visited Nelson Mandela house and Apartheid Musuem which was very interesting but so much to see in the 2 hours allocated to this stop.

Shane was an informative and accommodating tour guide. He was flexible with our pick up time and made sure we were back at the airport with plenty of time to spare for our flight home that night. He is very passionate and knowledgeable and I would highly recommend this tour.

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.

Purav_P, Jul 2026

Truly magical. This tour...

Truly magical. This tour had the best guide that I’ve worked with in all of Africa. He was incredibly knowledgeable. He was extremely patient. There were portions where we felt like there’s not a chance to see a leopard or cheetah and he continued to patiently wait and work with the other guide guides to help us find them. This tour made my whole trip! The guide alone was worth the money.

Marla_C, May 2026

Amazing - absolutely book it!

My adventure began when Nicholas picked me up at my hotel. He was so kind and had a great sense of humors, putting me at easy right away as a solo traveler. When we got to the park he took us to the ticket booth and helped us get acclimated with directions. The tour itself was unreal. Being so close to lions was an experience I never thought I’d have. Our guide Masan, was full of interesting facts, funny anecdotes and gave each of us the very best experience. He took pictures for me and helped create memories I’ll have for ever. I loved this experience and wish everyone had the opportunity to go.

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.
