Our tour at Joburg and Soweto was excellent. The places we visited together with the story of Nelson Mandela were a cultural immersion. Our guide Ali was exceptional, in addition to being an excellent driver, he brought a lot of historical and tourist information. His care for our safety (we were a couple and a child) were crucial for us to enjoy the tour without worrying about anything, just enjoying the environment. I would like to express my gratitude for the exceptional services he provided.

I thoroughly enjoyed my private tour with MoAfrika tours - it was the perfect mix of culture and sightseeing with some extra off the beaten path experiences added in. The airport pickup was prompt and the day was tailored to my must see list. The tour guide was the best and very knowledgeable of the city and history. I would definitely use this company again. Thank you for a great experience - highly recommend!
