Excellent tour and great value for the money. Our guide Khutso M. was exceptional. He was very knowledgeable about the city, especially about Soweto. He showed us areas of the township that we had never seen in the media before. Great day was had by all.

Our tour with MoAfrica was excellent from booking to finishing the tour. The day was incredible and such an enlightening, eye opening experience. Our guide Thsolo was brilliant, very knowledgeable, easy to talk to and we are able to ask him all sorts of questions throughout the day. He really looked after us the whole day and made our day out even more memorable. I cannot recommend this tour or the tour company more to anyone visiting SACandle_A

We enjoyed visiting Soweto. We were able to visit a local daycare and our Soweto guide welcomed us into his home. Our tour guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and attentive.

I booked the Soweto, Apartheid Museum, and the Pilanesberg safari tours with MoAfrika tours. My husband and I traveled to Johannesburg from the USA to celebrate my 40th birthday. When my husband and I landed in South Africa, I immediately remembered that I left something important back home. I immediately contacted MoAfrika to ask if our pick up time and location could be changed due to me having to go to the mall to pick up the item I left back at home. It was around 1 am when I texted MoAfrika and I received an immediate response that they could accommodate my request. I'm still so very grateful for that. Our tour guide Thabang met my husband and I at the mall and provided a wonderful tour of Soweto, Mandela’s House and the Apartheid Museum. Thabang also took us to a great restaurant for lunch. The food was delicious. Our initial tour was on a Tuesday and our Pilanesberg tour was scheduled for a Thursday. I looked at the weather and realized that it would be raining all day on Thursday. I contacted MoAfrika to change the Pilanesberg tour from Thursday to Friday and again they were very accommodating. I highly recommend MoAfrika Tours if you want an authentic S. African experience.
