“It was alright. Place was a bit rundown and in need of maintenance. For what we paid which included transport out of Johannesburg and lunch, value was OK. Was probably better back in the day, but is in need of some money being spent on paths, parking and other aspects. I dread to think what little pay the entertainers and guide receive.”

“We went on a private tour of Johannesburg and Pretoria with Albert. The first day was so incredible that we hired him for an additional day. We wanted him for a third day, but he was not available. Albert is attentive and professional, has an incredible knowledge of the history and politic scene of the country, flora, fauna, peoples and their culture and traditions. Every where we traveled, it was apparent that he was well-known and respected in his profession. It was such a privilege to have this man as our guide because we felt safe and well taken care of throughout our tours.”

“This was a very good tour. We were driven to the Cradle of Human Kind caves, were we had a very knowledgeable guide from the site. We were grouped with a group of small children, but the guide made time to explain to our adult group separately, so we didn't miss any explanation. We were then taken by our driver to Lesedi Village, which was also very good since we got to see different ways of living from original cultures from South Africa and ended with a very tasty buffet lunch with several local foods, followed by a dancing show portraying several of these culture unique dances...very energetic! Finally, we…”
