Both Malcom and Janet are hugely knowledgeable in their own rights, and filled us in with tons of info. on the history, culture and natural beauty... More

Having our own tour guide made all the difference, particularly as my two friends are blind. Malcolm put a lot of thought and preparation into what would work well for us and we had a great time. The cost was very reasonable and the transport really comfortable. It was great not to have to book all the separate attractions and... More

I had a one day trip with Ekala Eco tours and it was a great experience. I was traveling alone and was very happy that it was even possible to arrange a trip just for one person because that is not always the case. The trip was very professional and I really enjoyed it. I also received a lot of... More

Ekala Eco Tours was very professional and prompt in their response to my various email inquires. They also made great recommendations that were best suited for my family's preferences. We ended up booking several tours with Ekala such as Soweto/Johannesburg city tours, Pilanesberg, Sun City, and Lion Park. Malcolm took us on our first tour and we were really impressed... More

Thank you, Janet and Malcolm for the amazing time in Johannesburg. Your tours made my stay well worth coming to Joburg. I did 3 days with Ekala tours and it is well worth the time and money. Tour of Johannesburg, Pilanesberg and the Cullinan Diamond mine. Although the diamond mine was with a tour guide Malcolm answered all questions I... More

We contacted Malcolm to arrange a guided tour in advance of our one day stop over in Johannesburg. We wanted to make the very best use of the limited time we had available to see the sights. Malcolm was extremely helpful in suggesting an itinerary for the day that would work for us. The day we spent with him was... More

I recently travelled with my boyfriend and two friends to Sun City. Unfamiliar with the roads, we arranged a transfer with Ekala to and from Sun City from Johannesburg. We had the absolute pleasure and fortune of having Malcolm as our guide on both transfers. On both occassions he was early and came prepared with the most wonderful knowledge of... More

Recently my mom & I went to South Africa and had a 6 hour layover until our flight home, so I booked a private tour with Ekala to take us to Soweto & around Joburg. Our flight ended up being an hour late & Malcolm was so great, he didn't charge us & gave us an extra 1/2 hour for... More
