    Shane was the best guide we could have hoped for. He had answers to all of our questions and was so knowledgeable and respectful of the cultural elements of the tour. He took photos of us and just made sure we were having a good time all around. I wish I booked more days with him to do other activities, but that’s all the more reason to come back to South Africa!

    Shane was friendly informative and helpful. He took extra time to allow shopping at the tour site. He was great company during the meal and filled us in on life in the Bush. He gave tips and suggestions for the remainder of the trip. Would definitely recommend.

    I enjoyed the cradle of humankind. I studied evolution so this was a bucket list activity for me. The highlight of the tour was the lesedi Cultural Village. I learnt alot about my own country that I never knew before. Shane was a great guide. He showed up early so we missed the traffic and then dropped me off at the airport after. We even grabbed breakfast before the start of the tour since we were early and he was willing to take some cool photos of me at the sites since I was solo. Thanks again for a lovely experience Shane!

    The final part of the tour in Lesedi was the most impressive as it was possible to witness the power and connection that the people have and gather from being and feeling united as one. The cradle should be a bit updated and fixed as some parts were damaged or just old; above all, it’s a great and easy to comprehend museum. Shane, the guide, wasn’t directly present during the two tours but was then completely available afterwards to answer all our questions on the matters. We had an amazing day!

    Shane is an amazing guide. Very knowledgeable about the country and its heritage. We had such a a great time with him during the tour we booked that we have decided to do another one with him the next day. I definitely recommend him for any getaways. Don’t hesitate to contact him also, in case you want something a bit personalized! We had to do some arrangements and he was happy to do so!

    My son and I had a great commute to the Cradle of Mankind and Lesedi village which was arranged by Shane. He provided a brief history of the different South African tribes and the area's of Johannesburg during our drive. We learned a lot from him. Thank you Shane!

    My 9yo and I are slow traveling south Africa and we signed up for this tour with Shane as a first intro to the evolution of ppl followed by an intro of the tribes of South Africa. Shane is a great guide and gave us insight into his country, answered our questions authentically, and recommended his favorite books on South Africa. My daughter wasnt a big fan of the a cradle due to sensory issues but we loved Lesedi Culture Village! She loved learning the congos, the dance performances, learning about each village and it's culture, and we loved lunch. My daughter who is very selective about what she eats actually tried fried crocodile and loved it! We enjoyed it time with Shane as our guide still much that we booked his Rhino & Lion park tour a couple of days later!

    The best part of this trip was the Lesedi Cultural Village. Great to learn about the different tribes in Africa, as well as learn a little about their culture. Cradle of Humankind - was a little tacky. For something as important as this, they could've found a different way to present it to the guests. Also - the fact that the Sterkfontein Caves were not open, should've been made clearn in this tour description.

    Shane is great! He seems more like a friend showing you the best local spots, and is super flexible about customizing your day. The highlight was Lesedi Cultural Village, which was a great introduction to South Africa because you learn about different tribes.

    My partner and I travel often and all over the world so we like to pack as much into our trips as possible. When we met Shane, we didn't know what package to pick since we had never been to South Africa and just wanted to get a "taste" of each city we were staying in. First of all, Shane is so easy to get along with. Kind and funny; incredibly knowledgeable and a local who grew up and has lived his very colorful and active life in South Africa. He asked us what we were looking for and tailor made our day into what we wanted!!! We saw the animal reserve and saw the animals feeding; we visited the cradle of humanity; we visited the statue of Mandela and saw many of the official city buildings downtown. We saw so much I don't have space to write about it! Our day was supposed to be a half day and ended up being from 9am-9pm! Maybe later, I don't know because it was so much fun!!! We all ended up having dinner together by the end of the day, Shane was a friend that we didn't want to leave and hope to come back soon to visit with again. For us, it's not seeing the sites that makes a difference, it's the people. And hearing Shane's experience and how he sees the land, the culture, the love of his country; his experience as a professional cricketer and professional cricketer coach; and enjoying sharing stories all during a road trip made it an experience not to forgot. And did I mention that his prices were so so reasonable?? Wow. Amazing experience; amazing person. Highly recommend. We miss you, Shane!!!!!!!!!!!!
