Lebo's Soweto Backpackers

An absolute GEM of a place. Immaculately clean rooms and bedding, the best staff with super smiles and super service. They offer dinner and breakfast to order off of their menus which are reasonably priced and super tasty. The chef is always smiling and laughing and knows how to cook wholesome and tasty meals. There is an awesome fire pit with enough seating for everyone. They have a local marimba band that comes in to entertain clients with music and interactive drumming sessions. The ablutions are clean and they have awesome hot showers. There is also a brand new communal kitchen for those travellers who wish to prepare their own meals and they also have a cute rustic bar on site that serves wine, beer, soft drinks and even delicious cocktails. Wonderful place and I will definitely be back. Thank you to everyone at Lebos Backpackers

My husband and I took a 2 hour bike tour today followed by lunch and couldn’t have been more pleased. The hostel facilities are immaculate. The greeting was gracious. We had no idea what to expect this being our first time in Joburg and Soweto, but the staff and indeed all the residents waving to us on the streets made us feel so welcomed. The bike tour is moderate with a few hills, but has lots of stops for learning about historic sites as well as Soweto life in general. A big shout out to our guide Mfundo who was not only a wonderful teacher but just a warm and lovely person. This is a must for anyone wanting to understand first hand this very important part of the world. Oh, and the homemade traditional lunch and fresh brewed beer was fantastic. Next time we’d love to do the all-day bike tour! Thanks Lebo’s!

Lebo’s backpackers is a beautifully crafted indoors and outdoors space with the utmost attention to supporting and respecting the local community. My guide for the 4 hour bike tour was extremely knowledgeable and explained the important history of Soweto while exploring the different neighborhoods. Could not recommend this more!

We did the guided tour of Soweto and it was a great experience. Being from the US we were able to learn a ton about the history of South Africa, Soweto, the freedom movement and hear from people who lived through apartheid. Very powerful, eye opening and educational. Thanks!

We took the four hour bicycle tour through Soweto. After having enjoyed a wonderful lunch we followed our guide Mfundo around the various areas of Soweto. His excellent story telling skills made our tour come alive. He was a true-fully enjoyable person to be around. Thank you!!

We had the best time with our tourguide Jazz. You can hear and see that he passionate about telling the story of Soweto. It was an inspiring tour and we would recommend it to everyone. Thanks again!

We had a great cycling tour throughout Soweto. The tourguide was very knowledgeable and nice and the people throughout Soweto were very friendly. Very glad we didn't miss out on this experience!
