Our driver was Marvin, a positive man who was courteous, punctual and an excellent driver. He made our day enjoyable! It was a very educational day as well.

The tour was amazing. Going in the caves was even better than expected and the visitor center was very well done and interesting. The person I went with was apprehensive about going (thought it would be boring) but loved it as well

Rudzani drove us to our Cradle of Humankind and Sterkfontein cave tours. Whilst the tours were fabulous, our driver was at all times prompt, friendly, polite, a safe driver and so very informative. We thoroughly enjoyed our time and encourage you to use Africa Mojo Tours and Safaris too. Thank you Rudzani

The tour company and our guide Rudzani were very responsible and attentive. The car was new and very clean. Cave and museum are interesting, interactive and very informative. I really liked this place. But I highly recommend the company to make the prices for all members in a group the same (as a solo person joining the group I should have paid more money than another person who come with friend or spouse).
