Johannesburg Tours in April 2026

The best trip with Explore ever!! Our guide Samantha was fabulous, gracious, hard working, funny, informative and a great driver. We saw and did so many things that I cannot list them all but they were all fantastic. We saw the Big Five plus dozens of other species plus fabulous venues and food. I would recommend this trip for anyone who wants to get to know South Africa and have a great time.

This was a really fantastic trip to see different parts of Kruger national park. The week is balanced with cultural elements, safari and optional drive of the panorama route. Our CEO Deon and driver Moses were incredible. So friendly, so much positive energy and also made sure we were on track and got to our destinations safely. This was a very memorable week and I couldn’t recommend enough!

An amazing tour from start to finish. Our Tour Manager was excellent, all accomodations exceeded expectations and we saw more animals in their natural habitat than I ever imagined. There isn't one thing about this tour that I would change.

Overall this was an excellent tour. The Cape Town section was great with a wide variety of sites to visit. The lunch at Penguino in Hermanus was delicious and hilarious. The Cullinan Hotel was very good and we appreciated the visit to the District Six museum - an eye opener. However, the transition to Hoedspruit was poor - we were not given our flight times, the flight was delayed for 5 hours, there was no direct communication with Trafalgar. That was redeemed at the Karongwe game reserve - great game viewing (Big 5 + cheetahs in 2 days) with skilled rangers and simple, comfortable accommodation. The food was good except, surprisingly, the meat was tough. The staff there were very courteous and friendly. The brief visit to Johannesburg was very good: the guided tours to the Old Fort Prison and new Constitutional Court and to Regina Mundi church and other sites in Soweto were really great. As former South Africans, we thought this tour gave all of us an excellent, short overview of the Cape, the Bush and Johannesburg. And we appreciated the personalized attention to detail from Trafalgar s guides.

Good all encompassing tour. Excellent guides. Lovely group. Only gripe is the transport; considering the amount of time spent on the bus it was extremely uncomfortable. Seats hard, poor springs, tendency to slide off the seats as they were covered with a camp like material.

Travel itinerary met our expectations completely. Chris was incredibly helpful and supportive throughout our entire trip. As for the places and experiences we enjoyed the most, there were too many to list.
