- robinlsam0 contributionsGo with the best Stephenson.Omg. This was the best tour, and our tour guide Bianla was absolutely the best. We saw some much of Jburg and Soweto. I highly recommend using this tour company.Written March 25, 2025
- bobkatlord0 contributionsA great experience!We enjoyed a full day private tour of Johannesburg and Soweto. Our guide was Mo and we were pleased to spend our day with him. He was extremely knowledgeable and engaging. It was wonderful to learn so much about the history and politics of this region. Our visit to Soweto and the Kliptown Youth Program was very rewarding. Thank you Mo, for teaching us so much!Written March 24, 2025
- mikaelf4680 contributionsA great way to get the most of Johannesburg in one dayA great way to get the many facets of Johannesburg in one day. Mo was a great guide telling many interesting facts about the city and the different places we visited.Written March 21, 2025
- tkip260 contributionsEnjoyable visit to Lesedi Cultural VillageHad a great time at Lesedi Cultural Village. We were picked up from our accommodation by John, our guide, who was great. He was very friendly and gave us lots of information en route to the village. At the village he accompanied us throughout our visit ensuring we didn't miss anything. We were greeted with a lovely musical welcome. The drumming interaction was great and we had a guide who showed and explained about 5 different tribes. We were then given a great African drumming and dance show. After this we had lunch which was an amazing buffet. We were then driven back to our accommodation by John. We had a lovely experience and couldn't thank John enough who was an amazing guide.Written March 20, 2025

The knowledge of the city and country is unbelievable. You won’t have any questions unanswered. He gave an honest balanced guide to South Africa’s history and a glimpse into its resilient future.Written March 19, 2025
- 60reginay0 contributionsGreat experience!!Wonderful Tour. Had the opportunity to see, experience, and learn the history which embraced the hard truths, rich culture, resilience and hope of the people of Johannesburg and Soweto!! Special shout out to Mo, leaving no stone unturned in this great tour experience. Peace and thank you!Written March 16, 2025
- Azhukhov0 contributionsGreat way to explore Johannesburg/Soweto with limited timeExcellent tour to see Johannesburg easily and safely in 1 day. The part where we went into the township for a few min with a special guide was particularly impactful. One thing I would change is that tourist trap restaurant that every tour including this one goes in Soweto for a lunch buffet--it's simply not good. However don't feel pressured to do the buffet-- you CAN ask for the a la carte menu (although in the end I ended up doing the buffet anyway)Written March 15, 2025

- cbtuck20180 contributionsA great way to see JohannesburgWe had 1 day to spend in Johannesburg and this was the way to see it all. We throughly enjoyed our time with Mo as he toured us all over Johannesburg & educated us about the history & politics of the region. It was very eye opening! He picked us up at our hotel in a comfortable van—he is an excellent driver! We visited all areas of the city—the affluent areas as well as the very poor areas. We had lunch at a fun local spot on the same street where Nelson Mandela lived. We saw prisons & museums—a very full day. I highly recommend this tour!Written March 10, 2025

- boucdan0 contributionsExcellent day in Johannesburg and Soweto !My partner and I chose the Stevenson company for a full-day guided tour in Johannesburg and Soweto on March 1, 2025. Our guide was waiting for us at the scheduled time with a smile. He made us board the ultra-clean van and made sure we were comfortable, regularly checked to see if we had any questions. He was very kind and attentive in assisting us throughout the day and informing us as we went along about the history, social and political context. He proved to be an experienced guide, very well informed and happy to answer all our questions throughout the day. He is also an excellent driver, we felt safe. The only small downside that we would like to mention in a constructive spirit is the stop for a short visit to a home in Sowero (Township). We were surprised because our guide had not forwarned us (or we missed this information). Since this was a kind of sponsorship, we made a donation and left a tip to the man who showed us around. So far, it was okay… After, when we couldn’t see our guide anywhere, the man in charge of the tour invited us to cross the street to see his colleagues who were selling souvenirs… We felt trapped and forced to buy from each of them; you can tell us that it’s our problem, that we didn’t have to, but honestly, we were completely overwhelmed by this misery, poverty and courage of these people. We imagine that this was the goal so that we would be more inclined to buy… Our guide showed up, we told him that we had no more cash ZAR (as if this was known we would of made arrangements to bring more) and then, magic, we learned that we could pay by card… In short, all we would have appreciated is a little more transparency in advance (as systematically done for all the other visits planned during this day.) That being said, we recommend without hesitation this company for the quality of the tour Thank youWritten March 2, 2025

After doing a safari tour, and not being lucky in seeing any big cats, we decided to at least see some in South Africa in captivity. Inside a caged truck we drove around the park, getting close to many lions, cheetahs, a giraffe that came right up to the truck, and other animals. It was a last minute booking to make use of a few hours we had before our flight, and Mo, from Stephenson Adventures was great. He even arranged to drop us off at a wine tasting we had scheduled after the lion park, and later that evening drove us to the airport. Great service provided from Mo. I highly recommend this tour company, I only had time to do two with them.

Our guide was outstanding. This company is very professional and I was extremely grateful for their flexibility when my husband got sick. The knowledge that their guide provided on the way to the Lion Safari was very impressive. The Lion Safari was one of the very best tours. Amazing Experience!!!!!!!Lots of Lions. Excellent views. This is not to be missed.

It's not quite a full-fledged safari, and the lions and other carnivores are kept in a zone surrounded by wire mesh about 100m square (there are times when they are fed), but the herbivores are allowed to roam free.
There are tours on wire-mesh covered buses, but you can also get around in your own car. However, the roads are quite rough, so there is a good risk of scraping your belly in a normal sedan.
It's just under an hour from downtown Johannesburg, and you can get a decent taste of the African atmosphere, so it's recommended for those with time constraints.

Steve is an excellent guide! Steve arrived on time to pick us up and had snacks and water for us. On the way to the park Steve gave us information on the areas we were passing through as well as the park. The tour in the park was amazing. Our driver/guide was friendly and humorous. We were able to see the Lion feeding as well as giraffes, zebras, cheetahs, leopards, hyenas, wild African dogs, and many other animals. I felt safe in the enclosed vehicle and as a result enjoyed the tour so much more.

Steve was amazing! He collected us from our pick up point straight to the park. He provided us with a brief history of South Africa and the park itself, whilst always checking that we were comfortable throughout the whole journey.
The Safari Park was excellent and we saw most of the animals close up! The tour guides are knowledgeable about all the animals.
At the end Steve was waiting to show us the shops and the rest of the park animals. He then took us back home, whilst pointing out the local famous landmarks and restaurants.
We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and would definitely recommend!!!

Great tour. We were trying to find something to do last minutes between flights and Stevenson Adventures pulled through big time. Everything was perfect. Our guide Banele was amazing. By far the best guide of our entire trip in South Africa. I would highly recommend Banele and Stevenson Adventures

I had the most amazing time on this adventure! Steve was a beautiful guide and so very knowledgeable on the history of the area. By the time we reached the park from my hotel, I had a sense of the South African languages, traditions, and some historical perspective, which helped me better appreciate my experience at the park.
I had no idea how close I would get to be to the animals! Our guide in the park readily shared his expertise. I felt as though I'd slipped back into my childhood and could enjoy the wonder of being in nature. If you can, make sure you go on a feeding day. Watching hyenas and leopards eat was a sight to see! This is a must-do tour! Highly, highly recommended!

What an incredible place!!! You are guaranteed to see various animals in a few hours. The animals are all healthy and well looked after. They genuinely seemed content with their home.
We took the Alex tour and I can't recommend that enough! Alex has an incredible sense of humour and it'll be the best 3 hours of your life.
This is a place I will visit again.

Just wanted to say we had an amazing day doing your quad bike tour today. Can we also pass a message on to the lovely gentleman (in the white pick up, who spoke to us in the car park), who worked at the Lion Park. He made sure we got back to Glen Afric safely. What an amazing caring person he was. Ensuring complete strangers were safe. Thank you so so much x

Good experience of the natural wildlife of SA within the boundaries of a quick safari possibility during business travels. Much appreciated the conversation with tour guide Banele which made the tour extra interesting and pleasant. Recommendable for all that have little time and still want a big experience! Thanks a lot!
