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!

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.

This was a great value...

This was a great value for the price! I loved the provided lunch, and it was very nice to have both a morning and an afternoon tour. Our guide was highly knowledgeable, and we saw so many different types of animals. It was also so convenient to have the hotel pickup and dropoff, making the experience an even greater value for what I paid.

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.

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.

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.

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.
