My guides Célestin & Joe picked up me from OR Tambo airport. We had a tour of Johannesburg (Top of Africa tower, Constitution Hill prison) and then of Pretoria where they dropped me off (Voortrekker Monument, Melrose house, downtown Pretoria). Very friendly and helpful guides, knowledgeable for things concerning South African history, Joburg and Pretoria, but mistook a tsessebe antelope... More

Excellent, safe driving. Highly competent, knowledgeable guides. Entire Themba staff is customer and service-oriented. Stayed 2 nights in their Waybury Guest House in Johannesburg - one before, one after the trip to/from Kruger - which was very comfortable with great breakfast. The Kruger accommodation offered by Themba was truly terrific: Sunset Game Lodge about 45 min from the Orpen Gate... More

We went on Themba Tours 4-day (the best option) safari to the Kruger National Park....and had a fantastic time ! So many different animals, large and small, often viewed from just a few metres away. Up at dawn to see the maximum number of animals, this was often the most exciting part of the day - young cheetah, elephants and... More

I visited as a solo traveller between a business trip and meeting family a week later. I could not have had a better package designed for me including all the aspects I wanted to experience whilst in Johannesburg. I was collected directly from the airport and driven straight to my hotel accommodation at Waybury House Hotel, the driver instantly making... More

This review is long overdue - we travelled in August 2011 - and have waited too long to complement the fantastic service we received from the staff at Themba tours. We booked our airport transfers, 2 separate over nights in the Waybury guest house, and a 2 night safari staying in the Sunset Game lodge. We booked directly from the... More

First time to Africa and couldn't have wished for better service, unforgettable. Wayne and his team are knowlwdgeable, friendly and organised everything. Accomodation at Weybury House was extremely comfortable and nothing was too much trouble. The Victoria FaIls Safari Lodge was first rate and Sunset Lodge near The Kruger was like a second home. I wouldn't hesitate to contact Wayne... More

We really enjoyed the soweto tour. Leonard was an excellent guide who showed and explained everything really well. He certainly knows all the history and could answer all our questions. We stopped at loads of locations and had a good chance taking photos. And trying that self brewed Soweto-beer was certainly a really good experience. If you get the chance,... More

Booked a Kruger safari through this company for 4 of us and the service provided was unbeatable as far as value is concerned. On the face of it, the individual costs seem quite expensive but when you consider that we had 2x airport transfers, 4 nights accommodation in excellent accommodation, all transfers within the trip, a 3 day safari (which...
