I'm Andrew, a private tour guide based in Johannesburg, and I don't believe travellers come to South Africa just to tick attractions off a list. They come to understand the people, history, culture and stories behind the places they visit. If you're looking for a private Johannesburg tour, an authentic Soweto experience, the Apartheid Museum, Constitution Hill, Johannesburg history and heritage, an OR Tambo Airport layover tour, or a customised South African itinerary, you've found the right local guide. Johannesburg is complicated, energetic, historic and constantly changing. That's exactly why I love guiding here. My tours go beyond simply driving from one famous landmark to another. I connect the dots between Johannesburg's gold-rush beginnings, apartheid, the struggle for freedom, the Soweto uprising, Nelson Mandela's legacy and the modern South Africa you see today. In Soweto, I want you to experience more than Vilakazi Street and take photographs of famous landmarks. I want you to understand how Soweto developed, how its communities differ, why June 16, 1976 changed South African history, and what everyday life in this extraordinary part of Johannesburg looks like today. Depending on your interests, we can explore places such as the Apartheid Museum, Constitution Hill, Hector Pieterson Memorial and Museum, Mandela House, Vilakazi Street, Orlando, Johannesburg's historic city centre and other important cultural and heritage sites. But I don't offer one-size-fits-all sightseeing. Every private tour can be adjusted around YOU. If you love history, we'll go deeper into South Africa's past. If you're interested in local culture, we'll spend more time experiencing neighbourhoods, people and everyday Johannesburg. If you have limited time between flights at OR Tambo International Airport, I can design a private Johannesburg or Soweto layover experience around your schedule. If Johannesburg is only the beginning of your South African journey, I can also help create customised experiences combining Johannesburg with wildlife and safari destinations, including private game reserves and other parts of South Africa. I have been guiding travellers professionally since 2015 and became a qualified tourist guide in 2017. Over the years, I've worked with independent travellers, couples, families, groups and visitors arriving in South Africa for holidays, business trips, sporting events, concerts and special occasions. What matters most to me is that you don't leave Johannesburg saying: "We saw Johannesburg." I want you to leave saying: "Now I understand Johannesburg." Expect a private experience, honest conversation, fascinating history, flexibility, local knowledge and plenty of opportunities to ask the questions that large group tours rarely have time to answer. Whether you have three hours, a full day or several days in South Africa, message me before booking and tell me what interests you. I'll help turn your time in Johannesburg into an experience designed around you — not around a tour bus timetable. Welcome to Johannesburg. Let's explore the city behind the headlines.

I like to visit this park because that's what I have been doing since childhood. I also see the park as an ideal place to spend time with my family, friends, and my guests. My past experience on this respective destination also revealed that nature, activities, attractions, and novelty are the reasons why my guests enjoy visiting Kruger. Here we explore the best game viewing and Wildlife opportunities in Kruger National Park. Followed by scenic beauty viewing of Panorama Route, on the first day we will enter the world famous Kruger National Park and spend the afternoon Safari game viewing. On the second day we will visit majestic sights including God's Window, the Three Rondavels and Blyde River Canyon - the third largest canyon of its kind in the world, Bourke's Luck Potholes and the charming village of Graskop. Kruger Wilderness offers some spectacular views over the surrounding hills and valleys and while exploring the impressive gorges with natural streams and pools will be certainly a highlight.
