Just excellent - don’t hesitate! - We spent a day with Lebo exploring Johannesburg and Soweto. Lebo was fantastic, adapting what we saw according to our whims. We visited Mandela’s presidential homes on our way to Constitution Hill, stopped at Maponeng (twice - with no complaints from Lebo), visited Soweto towers, had lunch in Soweto and more. You could not ask for a more knowledgeable guide. By the end Lebo felt like a friend. I would 100% recommend MoAfrika and Lebo. I hope I get a chance to revisit Jo’burg; Lebo & MoAfrika will be the first people I contact.

Another amazing day in South Africa! - Today was an amazing day with Tinyiko! He was the perfect storyteller, historian, and comedian all at once! His knowledge of South Africa, especially Johannesburg and Soweto, was tremendous. We felt so lucky to be in his hands for the day.

A day in Pretoria and Johannesburg - I would to thank MOAFRICA for giving a great experience for Pretoria and Johannesburg. All the comments of my friends were wrong about Johannesburg. It’s a beautiful, clean and interesting place. Kudos to LEBO MACHABA were being kind and very knowledgeable of the place. I will definitely recommend MOAFRIKA to my friends.

The Soweto and Johannesburg Tour Feedback - The Soweto and Johannesburg Tour we participated in has completely exceeded our expectations. It can be called a travel experience that combines both depth and warmth, and we are extremely satisfied with it. In particular, we would like to give special praise to our guide, Clement. Clement leaves a first impression of being highly experienced, and as the tour progressed, we could further feel his profound knowledge of the city. Whether during the round-trip drives or the explanations at the scenic spots, he always used vivid and personal-style language to vividly narrate the historical context, cultural background, and urban stories of Johannesburg and Soweto. Those were not just cold pieces of information, but were filled with his affection for the local area and unique perspectives, making the originally unfamiliar city instantly vivid and interesting, without any sense of dullness at all. What surprised us even more was his thoughtfulness and attention to detail. During the tour, he would take the initiative to notice our needs. For example, he offered to help us take photos, and we were pleasantly surprised by his excellent photography skills. Furthermore, Clement's local network resources have greatly benefited the entire tour. From the connection of scenic spot admissions, the arrangement of dining locations to the flexible adjustment of routes, the whole process was extremely "smooth" without any delays or hold-ups, saving us a lot of trouble. It is precisely this professionalism and efficiency that allowed us, as first-time visitors to Johannesburg and Soweto, to quickly and comprehensively understand the charm of the city in just one day, and also made the entire journey relaxed and reassuring.

Good tour - If you don't know what poverty means and how the capitalist exploit the poor who eventually fight back for sustenance, you must visit Soweto. Johannesburg city tour was great but City museum should be included. Driver was great
