Powerful, Eye-Opening Experience – A Must-Do in Johannesburg - This tour was incredibly well-organized and deeply impactful. From the moment we were picked up by MoAfrika Tours, everything ran smoothly. Our guide was knowledgeable, respectful, and provided important context before and after the museum visit. The Apartheid Museum itself is a moving and thought-provoking experience. It’s not just a museum — it’s a powerful journey through South Africa’s complex history. The exhibits are incredibly well-curated, emotional, and educational. I’m so glad we took the time to do this tour. It left a lasting impression and gave us a much deeper understanding of the country. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Johannesburg — don’t miss it.

Wonderful tours of Pilanesburg and the Apartheid Museum - Pilanesburg full day trip: this was one of my favourite excursions of all time. Our driver, Thabo, picked us up from the Airbnb and made the drive out to Pilanesburg a lot of fun. Our tour guide in the park, Wisdom, was knowledgeable and very fun! I saw many elephants and giraffes up close! Apartheid Museum: Very informative and moving experience. My driver, Victor, was very friendly and knowledgeable. My experience with MoAfrika tours was excellent. They are very organized and professional, and make everything easy and safe for their guests. Wish I had time to book more tours!

Fascinatingly packed tour with a great guide. - All of the information and stories were extremely well presented and made interesting thanks to our guide Gordon. It was extremely sad to see this trip down South Africa's history. MoAfrika and Gordan were able to assist us throughout the tour and provide us with an impressive experience.

Thank you MoAfrika for this thorough tour of South Africa’s history. - The museum is greatly insightful with incredible amounts of information about apartheid. This tour is perfect to see how Apartheid affected and how it traumatized people. I am thankful that we did this through MoAfrika, otherwise we would have had an information overload. The guide was able to easily explain everything to us.

Moving experience of Apartheid - This tour was perfectly paced thanks to our Junior who was there to guide us through each section. It was incredibly moving to see all the stories and facts about South Africa’s oppressive past and how it came to terms today. Thanks to MoAfrika we were able to fit this into our extremely busy schedule with their flexibility.
