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 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.

Our group of 15 had a great day out with Thabang exploring Johannesburg and Soweto. We received round trip transportation from our airport hotel in a nice, comfortable bus. The itinerary was jam packed and we really got a taste of the city with him. He arranged for us to have lunch at a local restaurant and it was an excellent experience as well. My communication with Thabang was timely and accurate - he was great to work with for customizing our tour. He shared a lot of personal knowledge and history with us throughout our day which was very interesting and much appreciated. We arrived back at our hotel with a nice overview of the city and surrounding area. I would highly recommend this tour and Thabang to other travelers who would like to know about Johannesburg and Soweto.
