Fascinating tour with Emmah - Emmah was our guide for the second day in a row. She is extremely knowledgeable about South African history and gave balanced descriptions about all the historic locations that we visited. It was a great opportunity for us to get to know her and to see Pretoria and Johannesburg with her.
