Welcome to South Africa. Welcome to "Mzansi". Welcome to the, "country of many countries", South Africa. Welcome to the Gauteng Province. Im very much proude of South Africa as this is a country that embrasses different cultures and cultural groups from all over across the world. The Gauteng Province, which is in the heart of the South Africais the home to wonderful museums, game reserves and lots of historical sites. This is where you can get the best introduction of South Africa ranging from culture to nature. I would be more than welcome to host anyone from across the world and show and teach them my love and passion for the the country. South Africans are more welcoming people to all nations. Very open to allowing other people to learn thier cultures too. I love traveling, meeting and engaging with new people always. Tourism is in my blood. I love it when when I'm conducting tour, narating and giving my guests the best of information ever. Iam proud of the guiding knowledge I have and I'm always proud of my guests. All guests are treated with the VIP status. Doing tours with me, is not only about tours but finding the hidden germs of the country. With me, you have found the right source of interest and information. Welcome to South Africa! Soon after completing my grade 12, I qualified to register at a collage for hospitality. I trained as a tourist guide. I also did my first aid there. I'm a proffessional tourist guide. I have a valid guiding licence. Code 10 driving licence with PDP. Valid first aid certificate. Limitations can be in some private game reserves whereby they have their own and full-time guides

This was the most enjoyable of the tours. The interaction with the members of the village was uplifting and enlightening. Our tour guide Thabelo went above and beyond all expectations in creating a wholesome experience for all of us. We definitely would recommend this tour, along with Thabelo to all visitors of South Africa.

We messaged Thabelo before the trip to see if we could make the first tour at Lesedi Cultural Park assuming our plane landed on time. He assured us we could make the tour and was very flexible as to what we could do if our plane was delayed. The plane landed on time, Thabelo met us at the airport and we drove to Lesedi Cultural Park. Along the way, he pointed out various sights and gave us information about South Africa and Johannesburg. After finishing at Lesedi, we went to the Lion Safari Park. Thabelo was pleasant and informative and we had a great day! I would take another tour with him if I'm ever in Johannesburg again.

Excellent guide and tour! Thabelo crafted a special tour for us (family of 5) as we only had a full day to learn about Johannesburg, Soweto and visit the Lesedi Cultural Center. All of this was done in an interesting, full of energy and knowledgeable way. Highly recommend Thabelo as your guide in this part of South Africa.

Thabelo was an excellent guide for our full day tour of Johannesburg, Soweto and Lesidi Cultural Village. The tour went from 8:30a pickup to 7:30p dropoff. He was very kind and considerate and very knowledgeable about the area. He grew up in Soweto and voted in the first democratic elections in 1994, so he understands the area and its history firsthand.

Thabelo was truly fantastic. He surprised us with a stop at Liliesleaf which is not yet fully open so we had a private tour that was just incredibly moving…an experience not to be forgotten. His knowledge of both the history and current situation is very comprehensive and his ability to share is awesome. I have nothing but positives to say about our time with him and would happily book another tour with him as guide.
