Great historical tour!

Published on Jan, 2025

Thomas was engaging, professional, on time, well informed, answered all our questions and made our requests happen.

Private Tour covered all the bases.

Published on Jan, 2025

We just finished a full-day private tour with Tinyiko. We were able to go everywhere we asked, which included Johannesburg, Soweto, Pretoria, and the Cradle of Humankind. We enjoyed his knowledge of the sites and country's history, including pre-historic detail. All in all a full, informative and pleasant day. We enjoyed every minute.

Great private tour filled with amazing experiences.

Wonderful visits around areas of Soweto and Johannesburg.

Our guide made this experience a fun vibe for everyone. We were picked up from our accommodation (as per arranged with MoAfrika) and we were guided every step of the way. He was extremely charming and provided great explanations of the history of each location. I would like to thank MoAfrika for this experience.

Fantastic visit
