What are people saying about Johannesburg

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.

Taste of Africa Food tasting Experience

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.

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.

Half Guided Day Tour of Soweto And Apartheid Museum

Jillian_C, Oct 2026

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...

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.

Two day Kruger National Park Safari from Johannesburg

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

Walter_W, May 2026

One day Pilanesberg Safari

This was the safari we ever took and we couldn’t be more pleased. Alex was our driver to and from the park. He was extra accommodating. He even let us off at the mall on our way back and waited to take us to the hotel. Martin was our safari guide and he was extremely knowledgeable. We saw lions, giraffes, zebras, rhinos, elephants, a rare cheetah and many more in just one day. He knew where to go to find the animals. I highly recommend this tour. You won’t be disappointed.
