Reviews: bicycle tour soweto
O***62025-06-05
The bicycle tour of Soweto was fantastic! We were picked up at Peech Hotel and driven to Book Ihboni bike store where we were greeted by our knowledgeable tour guides. Our tour guides, Wandi, Region and the young man with the beard (sorry, I forgot his name) did an excellent job explaining some of the local facts in Orlando East, Orlando West and Hector Peiterson Museum. I liked that our bike route took us in and around the neighborhoods where we stopped at historical sights, such as the Mandela house. I would highly recommend this tour!★

Reviews: Full Day Ultimate Pilanesberg National Park Safari from Johannesburg or Pretoria
D47****75122025-01-30
We had an amazing day with Moafrika on the one day safari trip. We had a wonderful driver, Alex, who picked us up and dropped us off in Johannesburg. We started our first safari at 9 and saw giraffes, rhinos, elephants as well as lots of impala and wildebeest. Our safari guide, Thabo, was very knowledgable and funny. We had lunch with our group and then headed out for the second safari. If you only have a short time, this is the perfect tour. Even if you don’t see many animals the views within the park are breathtaking!!★

Reviews: Taste of Africa Food tasting Experience
A***82025-02-09
Excellent tour of Maboneng’s neighborhood and art, along with tasting 4 different types of cuisine. Note that the description doesn’t make it clear, but there will be quite a bit of walking during the tour (which I thoroughly enjoyed). The restaurants were not fancy but provided simple, home-cooked meals and I enjoyed the variety. Although I wasn’t a big fan of one of them (I think it was Zimbabwe), the others were tasty and filling - make sure you measure yourself at each meal.★

Reviews: This is Hillbrow

I'm really happy I did this tour. It's a great way to get ouf of the "island hopping" way of seeing Joburg, ubering from one place to the next. Our guides were super nice and knowledgeable. Thanks for sharing your Joburg with me! I definitely recommend, but as they say: come with an open mind and heart.★

Reviews: Half-Day Tour of Soweto Tour
K***22024-07-16
I can recommend this tour as a powerful and informative introduction to Soweto, and especially my tour guide Khutso for being so welcoming, knowledgeable, and accommodating. The itinerary was indeed as advertised-- and I learned so much, even as someone who has worked in townships in SA previously. I write this with the caveat that the way I view tours is to be inherently non-comprehensive...to serve as a 'quick and dirty' initial meeting to gain the lay of the land because of course you can't see a place as vast in scale and as heterogeneous and complex as Soweto in one experience. In this way, this tour absolutely met my expectations! We drove past and learned about the middle-class parts of Soweto, Winnie's house, Vilakazi Street on which Tutu AND Madiba lived, a university campus now in Soweto, the famous resistance epicenter of Regina Mundi church, the square where the Congress of the People (1955) was held, new permanent housing developments which are tragically a pipe dream still for so many in the informal settlements, and other places in between. Early in the tour, guide Hope led us through one such informal settlement: Motsoaledi. This was the main part of the tour I had necessarily powerfully mixed feelings about (the other being the commercialization of Vilakazi Street, which does not relate to this tour)-- thank goodness that guides are supporting the most desperate poverty zones of Soweto, and yet at the same time, when you're walking almost in someone's 'backyard,' past communal water points, into a preschool with singing children, it's hard to feel like this isn't a spiritual intrusion on some level. But of course, given the informative nature of the tour, and the guidance toward empathy vs. sympathy, maybe if more people in positions of economic and political power completed this tour, the upliftment out of poverty could be accomplished much sooner than what has been inarguably and excruciatingly too slow in the wake of apartheid's brutality.
If you're an obsessive history buff or documentarian, this tour will leave you wanting more-- but again, for me, this is sort of the point. I now know the lay of the land; I could return to Vilakazi Street, go through the Mandela House and Hector Pieterson more slowly on my own (there was 35-45 minutes allocated, if memory serves for the latter), and/or hire this same company MoAfrika for a more personalized experience in the future.
To conclude, I share the two parts of the tour I found most compelling. The first is the way Khutso so deeply knew the structure and landscape of Soweto. We could point at any urban structure and receive an answer that went so much deeper than just driving past sites xyz..."these were the mining quarters, this is permanent housing that folks are waiting for etc. etc." This was really outstanding and I just learned so very much. The second thing to highlight is that whether you go on the official apartheid museum tour or not (I did not, as I have been a few times on my own), the juxtaposition of reading about the seminal roles that Soweto horrors and resistance played in the anti-apartheid struggle, and then setting foot in those places, is emotionally riveting. Hallowed ground. Inevitably words won't convey the evils of apartheid and the spiritual richness, tragedy, and contradictions of the cultural timeline of Soweto. But you should go, and then reflect, and pray, and act.
