My name is Thabang, I am a qualified National Tour Guide in South Africa. I have worked in the sports & events industry where I discovered my passion for tour guiding. I enjoy the opportunity to meet people, I'm an outgoing person who loves discovering new attractions and would like to make environmental education interesting and accessible to everyone. My tours are fully customizable according to your interests. I have always been fascinated by the amazing attractions that South Africa boasts and I now look forward to guiding tourists to Mzansi's finest destinations. I am committed to give excellent customer service to valued guests and become a great ambassador to South Africa. With the training I acquired from my tour guiding studies, I was able to refine my guiding skills, and I can speak various South African languages. I can't wait to meet you on one of my tours!

Thabang was EXCELLENT! His tour was well-thought out and so informative. He was organized and his knowledge of Johannesburg history and current status was perfect. It was a pleasure to spend a full day touring Johannesburg and learning about the history of the city. His timing for each location seemed perfect and we never wasted time. I highly recommend Thabang for your tour of a great city.
Paul C.Singapore
Thabang was a great guide. He had so much knowledge and was super eager to share it. He was friendly and approachable and happy to answer any of our questions. The visit to Soweto was particularly memorable as Thabang showed us his Soweto - way more than just a street! We loved it and would tour with him again in a heartbeat. Thank you for everything!

Our guide Thabang was spoke very well and was very knowledgeable. We felt safe at all times and learnt a lot about Soweto township. He even got a friend to take us on a short walk through the settlement to see what life was like and the practive of their philosophy of ubuntu.
