What are people saying about Johannesburg

Linda_B, Sept 2026

Excellent overview of Johannesburg and Soweto

We thoroughly enjoyed our 5-hour tour of Johannesburg and Soweto. Themba was a pleasant and knowledgeable guide who knew a lot about the history of the city and Apartheid. He answered many questions and the 5 hours was well spent. The Mandela home in Soweto was included and we had a separate tour guide there. We went on a Monday when the Apartheid museum was closed but we took an uber there the next day and spent several hours there too. There is so much to see and learn that we are glad we broke it up into 2 days. Highly recommend this tour! Now I am reading Born a Crime, the book by Trevor Noah about growing up in Johannesburg. It is very good also!

Half Guided Day Tour of Soweto And Apartheid Museum

Our Soweto tour was truly...

Our Soweto tour was truly an amazing and unforgettable experience! Tshepo was an incredibly personable, friendly, and knowledgeable guide. His enthusiasm and contagious energy made the experience even more enjoyable. He shared so many pearls of wisdom about Soweto’s history that brought the stories and significance of the community to life. Visiting Nelson Mandela’s former home and the site of the Soweto Uprising was deeply moving and powerfully emotional. Standing in these historic places gave us a much deeper appreciation for the struggles, sacrifices, and resilience of the people who shaped South Africa’s history. Our visit to the Apartheid Museum was equally powerful and emotional. The entire experience was both enlightening and humbling—a tour that I will remember for a long time. Highly recommend experiencing Soweto with Tshepo!

James_H, Sept 2026

Wonderful tour!

We were warned that we might not see all the animals and we were prepared to not see it, but we’re blessed with an overcast somewhat rainy day, and we saw so many things! The only thing that we were not able to experience were the elephants up close. We did see them though from far away at the base of the mountains! Still got some great pictures! This was a once in a lifetime thing to do! Our guide Tabo was so informative!

Sello provided us with 5 Star service today! He was punctual, and was able to answer and questions we had. We were given plenty of time at each location, never feeling rushed. He was knowledgeable and we felt very safe in his hands. We felt like family by the end of the day. THANK YOU SELLO !!

Soweto /Johannesburg and Apartheid Museum Guided Full Day 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.

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.

Amazing Kruger & Panorama Route Experience — Big Five Sightings and Excellent Guides!

Our Kruger National Park and Panorama Route tour with Viator was outstanding from start to finish. Khongi warmly picked us up from Johannesburg airport and made the entire journey smooth and stress-free. After two unforgettable days in Kruger, we enjoyed the breathtaking Panorama Route before being comfortably dropped back at the airport. Happiness, our guide and driver in Kruger, was absolutely fantastic — knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about wildlife. Thanks to her expertise, we saw the African Big Five and every other animal we hoped to see. The whole experience was seamless, exciting, and truly memorable.

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.

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.
