Johannesburg Tours, Tickets & Excursions

"We had an amazing day starting with an early pick up directly in front of the door. As soon as we arrived at the park our driver gave us a short briefing on how to behave in the vehicle. We were very lucky to see so many great animals!"

"Solly was awesome! Had a great time learning about Johannesburg and Soweto's history and culture. Will definitely recommend 👌🏽"

"Great tour across all sections of Soweto from nice houses to a tour of a township. Highlight was the museum that showcases the Soweto riots in 1976, a sad historic event."

"Excellent way to get connected to the wildlife while in Johannesburg. Great guides in a covered truck. The animals are active advisable highly recommended."

"Everyone was accommodating and wonderful! From pickup to drop-off, we learned a lot, got taken care of and had a fantastic safari experience! If I ever have the opportunity to come again, I would rebook with this company."

"We were looked after by a man called Bekkie. I think he was just outstanding and a credit to any company. this man went out of his way to make the trip wonderful. Please give him a permanent job."

"I love everything of this trip, animals, people , staff you would join it and enjoy this great experience"

"Very nice tour of Soweto. Felt very safe. Nice explanations from our guide. Car was is very good shape and comfortable"

"The pilots were amazing and informative. Enjoyed the wine at the end of the flight as well as breakfast hosted at the hotel"

"The entire experience from the moment you arrive to park was so incredibly welcoming. They are so professional and organized. Our pilot, Nick was professional and funny and made the while trip something to remember for ever.....highly recommend."

"We had such an amazing time with Viva Safari. This was our first safari ever and it really raised the bar quite high. Viva Safari's staff were incredible, kind, entertaining, and so wise about the animals and the environment. Not only did we see the big 5 (Rhino, Leopard, Lion, Buffalo, Elephant) but we learned so much about each of them and all the other animals we saw (hyena, impala, bush buck, hippo, bush chicken, wildebeest, Tawny eagle, vulture, lilac breasted roller...). The accommodations were decent, the food was delicious, and there was ample water and refreshments throughout our stay. We had so much fun and learned so much from our guides Victor and Smiley. We opted for the 4 day safari. Some people did 3, others did 6+. There are many options, which makes Viva even more appealing. They picked us up and returned us to our hotel in Johannesburg at the beginning and end of our safari as well. These rides as well were wonderful and included a great lunch stop in Dullstroom at a restaurant called Mayfly."

"First of all of all i would like to express my gratitude to organizers of this trip. I made a booking last night before the trip and didnt have a clarity about pickup (my mistake). The team showed flexibility and client approach to organize the pickup and delivery of my sleeping body to the place :)) Accommodation was superb, very nice place, excellent meals, piece of nature. Dont expect that you will see all the animals, ira a matter of luck, like a fishing, just enjoy the nature and unify with it. Our drivers was very professional , from the pickup at the hotel (very smooth, we spent 5 hours driving) and park guide Given ; he knows a lot about the animals, park itself and more and more. Strongly recommend this tour ! And the price ;)"

"This tour was the perfect way to learn about apartheid and the history of Nelson Mandela. Our guide Nathi was prompt, personable and informative. He really knows how to connect with his guests and was happy to share information and answer our questions. This was our first visit to South Africa and we’re so happy we chose this tour."

"Really great experience. My guide, Nathi, was the best. Got to see a leopard kill a impala not long after we first entered the park. Also seen rhinos, hippos, crocodile, boars, impalas, kudus, other various small animals and close encounters of giraffes and elephants walking on the roads. Did not get to see lions. Trip is recommended."

"Spend a full day with Pastal our guide which was very generous of his time and gave us a full view of JoBurg history. Our family (3 "kids" aged 17,20,21) learned a lot about the Culture and History and we enjoyed our day! Would recommend!"

"I'm not much of the type to do proper tours and tend to prefer to self-drive, but had a small window and went against my usual route and turns out didn't regret it. Went out with Sammy the first day and Breton the others. Both were very friendly, knowledgeable and interesting to talk to. Great option if you're wanting a wholistic tour that isn't entirely revolved around chasing the big 5 (though we did see them all) but getting knowledge of the nature and some unexpected things. Meals were better than expected, especially given that especially on viator, there isn't a ton of detail on any of that, I was expecting bottom of the barrel. If you're wanting a ton of time in the actual kruger park, maybe better to go with the 5-day because you really only have 1 full day in the actual park itself, but that can be seen in the itinerary. First two days are definitely jam packed with the other 2 being a bit more relaxed and light on activity so also keep that in mind."

"Life, was an exceptional tour guide. Being born and raised in Soweto his insights into the history of the area made this a very special day!"

"Tholu is a very knowledgeable guy. We enjoyed his first class informative session, very nice experience"

"Experience organizer were very prompt in communication and super flexible on time and schedule. Completely personalized and well taken care. Guide Edwin is super friendly and well cultured, he doesn’t only share the knowledge of The safari, but also share the history of South Africa and local cultures. Hotel was also sweet and cozy, friendly home feeling host. Going on a smaller private car to stop and go freely in safari is such a best of the best experience. Recommend to everyone to book this experience!"

"Lovely tour guide and interesting food and beer Eye opening experience Would recommend to friends of mine"

"The driver met us on time both on our arrival and on our departure. Both drivers were personable and friendly."

"You need to join this Hop-on Hop-off City Tour. I booked this tour for 2 days but one day would've been enough for me since I also attended a Full day city tour from another company. I had a lot of fun in the sun. You must try it."
