Customised Tours

We often get enquiries from visitors who want to visit particular sites which are not included in our standard tours.

Because we are flexible and can adapt our standard tours or design a special tour, we are able to meet these individual requests.

These are but some of the different places we have explored with interested visitors:

Mandela Square and Sandton CBD which has grown since the first office buildings were developed here in the 1970s; a fascinating counterpoint to downtown central Joburg
Joburg’s markets such as Neighbourgoods in Braamfontien on a Saturday and Norwood Rooftop Market on a Sunday (the old Rosebank Rooftop Market)
Maboneng Precinct with Arts on Main
Braamfontien (the northern part of Joburg’s inner city) and the various regeneration initiatives
Satyagraha House in Orchards where Gandhi lived while in Johannesburg
Origins Centre at Wits University – a jewel of a museum on the origins of humankind; ideal if you cannot visit the Cradle of Humankind
Wits Art Museum which has an excellent collection of contemporary South African art as well as wonderful traditional pieces
Jan Smuts House and Museum in Irene near Pretoria

Super personalised tour Having reached out from abroad, Peter from the off-set showed real personal service in wanting to help us achieve our goals for our trip, taking into account personal elements around interest, mobility and complete flexibility. (Others were the opposite). So much so, when in SA, our plans shifted immediately due to a family emergency. Peter immediately rescheduled to suit and adapted the day tour for us. On meeting him in person we were confident in our choice and had a wonderful morning together exploring Soweto, with Peter kindly fetching us from our accommodation and dropping us to meet family. Interesting, patient, informative and kind - highly recommend Peter.

Excellent, highly recommend! Fantastic personal Soweto tour. Peter is a delightful, friendly local gentleman full of as much interesting information as you would like to absorb. My daughter and I were were very interested (my teenage son was zoned out on his phone but that wasn't to do with the tour or Peter). We felt safe and well informed. Had opportunity to take plenty of pictures.

Touring with kindness and knowledge. The touring experience to Soweto, Johannesburg and Sandton was great and the tour person was very knowledgeable of the history. The price was also fair and reasonable. The time used allowed us to do all the activities we needed.

Excelent, Highly Recommended We traveled with Peter in Johannesburg and Soweto. My wife and I spent an excellent day. Peter knows a lot about history and generously shared his knowledge with us. At the end of the tour, he even helped us look for a suitcase for our trip. Excellent. Highly recommended.

Learned a lot We did the Soweto tour with Peter. Very interesting tour - fully what you can expect. When booking, Peter was quick in reaction. He delivered according to what was agreed. We had a very intresting talk on society of South Africa - on which Peter was very open and informative. Clearly a guide who has thought things through. We learned a lot!

Fantastic private tour of Johannesburg and Soweto. Went on a full day tour of Johannesburg and Soweto with Peter. Communications were good and Peter arrived to pick us up from our hotel right on time. Peter was so knowledgeable, having run his own travel business for many years. After touring the main sights and seeing several differing districts of Joburg it was off to Soweto. We had lunch at a local restaurant before going on to see Nelson Mandelas house on other sights in the township. Peter was so friendly and accommodating, nothing was too much trouble to him.

Great day tour! We went on a combined Jburg and Soweto day trip with Mashaba. Our guide, Peter, was great. He was easy-going, customer oriented and able to provide additional information around the places that we visited. Very recommended!

An amazing cheetah experience Peter organised a tour for a group of our friends to de Wildt Cheetah Reserve. Peter and David were gracious hosts, getting us there on time for the early morning Cheetah run. Peter joined in the activities and game drive with us and his gentle and friendly naure added to everybody's experience. I would highly recommend Mashaba Tours.
