The trip is great and informative. The guide is knowledgeable and experienced. The walking at the informal settlement deeply impressed me and help us know how the people live there.

I was on a business trip to Jo’burg and me and some colleagues decided to take a tour the last day. Our guide Cpho was very enthusiastic to share his knowledge and it was extremely informative. Cpho kept the tour dynamic and interesting throughout.

I can recommend this tour as a powerful and informative introduction to Soweto, and especially my tour guide Khutso for being so welcoming, knowledgeable, and accommodating. The itinerary was indeed as advertised-- and I learned so much, even as someone who has worked in townships in SA previously. I write this with the caveat that the way I view tours is to be inherently non-comprehensive...to serve as a 'quick and dirty' initial meeting to gain the lay of the land because of course you can't see a place as vast in scale and as heterogeneous and complex as Soweto in one experience. In this way, this tour absolutely met my expectations! We drove past and learned about the middle-class parts of Soweto, Winnie's house, Vilakazi Street on which Tutu AND Madiba lived, a university campus now in Soweto, the famous resistance epicenter of Regina Mundi church, the square where the Congress of the People (1955) was held, new permanent housing developments which are tragically a pipe dream still for so many in the informal settlements, and other places in between. Early in the tour, guide Hope led us through one such informal settlement: Motsoaledi. This was the main part of the tour I had necessarily powerfully mixed feelings about (the other being the commercialization of Vilakazi Street, which does not relate to this tour)-- thank goodness that guides are supporting the most desperate poverty zones of Soweto, and yet at the same time, when you're walking almost in someone's 'backyard,' past communal water points, into a preschool with singing children, it's hard to feel like this isn't a spiritual intrusion on some level. But of course, given the informative nature of the tour, and the guidance toward empathy vs. sympathy, maybe if more people in positions of economic and political power completed this tour, the upliftment out of poverty could be accomplished much sooner than what has been inarguably and excruciatingly too slow in the wake of apartheid's brutality.
If you're an obsessive history buff or documentarian, this tour will leave you wanting more-- but again, for me, this is sort of the point. I now know the lay of the land; I could return to Vilakazi Street, go through the Mandela House and Hector Pieterson more slowly on my own (there was 35-45 minutes allocated, if memory serves for the latter), and/or hire this same company MoAfrika for a more personalized experience in the future.
To conclude, I share the two parts of the tour I found most compelling. The first is the way Khutso so deeply knew the structure and landscape of Soweto. We could point at any urban structure and receive an answer that went so much deeper than just driving past sites xyz..."these were the mining quarters, this is permanent housing that folks are waiting for etc. etc." This was really outstanding and I just learned so very much. The second thing to highlight is that whether you go on the official apartheid museum tour or not (I did not, as I have been a few times on my own), the juxtaposition of reading about the seminal roles that Soweto horrors and resistance played in the anti-apartheid struggle, and then setting foot in those places, is emotionally riveting. Hallowed ground. Inevitably words won't convey the evils of apartheid and the spiritual richness, tragedy, and contradictions of the cultural timeline of Soweto. But you should go, and then reflect, and pray, and act.

This is the second tour I did with Moafrika this trip( Full day game drive in Kruger) and they were both great. Show up on time in a comfy van with a great guide. Very attentive to your needs. The Soweto tour is an absolute must if you’re in Johannesburg.
