What are people saying about Johannesburg

Moritta_W, Oct 2026

You must try … come hungry with an open mind

We absolutely loved this tour…haven’t stopped talking about it. Our guide, Donet, was awesome, the food was delicious. the conversation about history and life…we enjoyed every minute! We literally said it was one of the most enriching experiences and allowed us to taste foods from 4 different countries. We are from the US and we came “home” to learn about our culture in real time and today did not disappoint!

Must do! Themba was an amazing guide!

Informative, comprehensive day around Johannesburg. Our guide Themba was extremely knowledgeable. We were shown areas of the city we wouldn’t have seen otherwise. The whole day was a really great experience and I would recommend this tour for everyone. Hopefully you are lucky enough to have Themba as your guide also!

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.

Punctual with the pickup. An absolute gentleman. Felt extremely safe and comfortable as a solo female. Thankyou Thabiso for a wonderful afternoon!!! Would highly recommend this gentleman and company.

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.

Yolanda_R, Aug 2026

An Interesting and Emotional Experience

A great overview of Johannesburg its surrounds and its history. Visiting Constitution Hill where both Ghandi and Mandela were imprisoned for a time was very interesting. The Apartheid Museum was emotional and confronting. The guide at the museum was amazing and very knowledgeable. We were there for 2 hours but could have stayed longer to really take in all the information. Our visit to Soweto, Nelson Mandela’s House and the Hector Pieterson Memorial was also informative and very touching. I loved learning about the history and culture.

Fantastic option for those short on time!

Thabiso is wonderful! He was our tour guide and he gave us a rich historical overview of Johannesburg and its beautiful culture. This is a great tour for those coming into the country and have a layover and you want to experience Johannesburg. Thabiso is the best tour guide, he was so professional, kind, knowledgeable, and that really impacted how much we valued this tour. I highly recommend to anyone looking for a great tour company and a great tour guide!

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.

Half Day Lion Park tour from Johannesburg or Pretoria

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.

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.
