"Lulu was one of the best guides we ever had in all our trips around the world. Already the first impression of her made us having a positive vibe….through her we could also be transported safely to the Madikwe Game Reserve for a very affordable price!!! Lulu brought us in the most insider spots of Maboneng and she told us a lot of interesting things of her culture. If you wish to make a real local trip to the hidden spots of Johannesburg, join Lulu!!!! She is great!!!!❤️❤️❤️"
