REVIEWS:

• My wife and I recently had the pleasure of spending the day with Howard, who is by far the best and most knowledgeable guide we have ever had on any trip, anywhere in the world (and there have been some great ones). Polymathic, passionate, facts-based and a lot of fun, Howard fielded my scattershot questions on topics like the modern social, economic and political context underpinning what we were seeing, while also managing to open our eyes to the incredible paleoarcheaology and geology of the region.  Every piece of information Howard shared opened a new door to so many questions, which he fielded with patience and detail.  We need a year more with Howard.  (“THE BEST GUIDE EVER; OCT 2017; TRIPADVISOR”)

• Billed as a Joburg and Soweto tour, this was so much more. Howard, our guide, delved into the cultures, the economics, the politics, the geology and of course the very real people that formed and defined not only the great Joburg, but also South Africa.  The breadth and depth of Howards knowledge is jaw-dropping; but the thing that really captured us was his ability to weave this knowledge into an incredible captivating story.  (“JOBURG & SOWETO – A TOUR LIKE NO OTHER; APR 2016; TRIPADVISOR”)
