Half Day Apartheid Museum Tour

It was a solo guide. Leno was my museum guide & he was very knowledgeable & informative about the history. It was surprising & interesting to hear the see facts. An exciting learning experience & moving part of South Africa’s history. I would definitely recommend it.

We booked a private half-day tour with MoAfrika. We’d already booked our tickets for Sterkfontein Caves, Maropeng - Cradle of Humankind and the Apartheid Museum, so we had fixed entry times which MoAfrika was happy to work around. Lebo was our driver / guide and wow, how fantastic! He was prompt, picking us up at 07:30. The vehicle was great (they accommodated our family’s height by providing a 10-seater van). But best of all is Lebo himself. He’s super knowledgeable and not only did he provide us with lots of information about Jo’berg and South Africa but we had great conversations on the state of the world generally. The caves and the apartheid museum were both superb. In my opinion Maropeng isn’t worth a visit (except to see the surroundings). We’ve just had a most fantastic day and are looking forward to our full day tour with Lebo tomorrow to visit Soweto and tour Johannesburg.

I had a truly excellent experience visiting the Apartheid Museum in Johannesburg. What made the tour stand out was our guide—he was absolutely fantastic from start to finish. He took great care of our group, making sure everyone was comfortable and engaged throughout. Beyond that, he was very knowledgeable and provided deep, meaningful insights that really brought the history to life. His outgoing and friendly personality made it easy to ask questions and have great discussions along the way. This is not an easy subject, but he handled it with both professionalism and warmth, which made the experience even more impactful. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Johannesburg—especially if you get a guide like Lebo.

The tour was great! Especially Mr. Thapelo's explanations about the places and historical events, which greatly enriched the tour. There was a small initial scheduling confusion, which was quickly resolved and more than compensated for by the excellent tour.

Great visit with Lebo. He knows a lot about his country and give very good explanation. The museum is fascinated and we learn a lot.

Marc did an excellent job as my tour guide and provided great knowledge during the tour. Keep up the great job Marc. You are the best tour guide for me. Thank you for a great experience

I could have gone on my own but the tour guide was informative and helpful. Shuttle service was great too. The guide told me about the city’s famous landmarks on our way to the museum. I took a close look around the museum but he waited me patiently. The museum itself was a must see when you are in Johannesburg.

I had a private tour with Cpho and he was wonderful. From communicating with me about traffic accidents delaying my pickup to taking me through the city and explaining the areas we were in on the way to the museum was additional context to help frame what Johannesburg was and what its become. He ensured I was prepared prior to entering the museum and explained the ticket I was given and its significance. He provided his recommendations for how to complete the exhibits and advised he would be waiting for me at the exit. Spending time with someone who knows so much of the history and area was an amazing connection to the content at the museum. Its a beautifully designed space to share the ugly history and suffering shared by so many. Thank you Cpho!!

This tour was incredibly well-organized and deeply impactful. From the moment we were picked up by MoAfrika Tours, everything ran smoothly. Our guide was knowledgeable, respectful, and provided important context before and after the museum visit. The Apartheid Museum itself is a moving and thought-provoking experience. It’s not just a museum — it’s a powerful journey through South Africa’s complex history. The exhibits are incredibly well-curated, emotional, and educational. I’m so glad we took the time to do this tour. It left a lasting impression and gave us a much deeper understanding of the country. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Johannesburg — don’t miss it.

Pilanesburg full day trip: this was one of my favourite excursions of all time. Our driver, Thabo, picked us up from the Airbnb and made the drive out to Pilanesburg a lot of fun. Our tour guide in the park, Wisdom, was knowledgeable and very fun! I saw many elephants and giraffes up close! Apartheid Museum: Very informative and moving experience. My driver, Victor, was very friendly and knowledgeable. My experience with MoAfrika tours was excellent. They are very organized and professional, and make everything easy and safe for their guests. Wish I had time to book more tours!
