Deals - Things To Do in Johannesburg

If you’re planning your time in Johannesburg and want to do more while spending less, this page is for you. Here you’ll find things to do that are currently offering special prices or discounts. These aren’t just random sales but genuine savings on local tours, museum entries, or experiences around areas like Maboneng and Rosebank.

Deals in Johannesburg shift quite often, especially with changes in seasons or events around the city. For example, you might find a reduction on a Soweto cultural tour during a quieter time of year, or a discounted ticket price to an art exhibit in Newtown. It’s smart to check back since prices can go up or down quickly, and some offers only last a short while.

A tip I’ve learned over the years here is to combine deals with local weekday visits, as venues are less crowded and sometimes have extra incentives. Take advantage of these times to get the best experience at a better price.

Local tip for saving

If you’re in Johannesburg on a weekday, especially in cooler months like May or August, you can score better deals and quieter experiences. For instance, visiting the Apartheid Museum or taking a guided cycle tour around Soweto midweek often means not only fewer crowds but also better prices. Many places adjust prices to attract visitors when it’s less busy. Keep an eye on deals around this time, and consider trying experiences in less tourist-heavy neighborhoods like Braamfontein where alternative tours and events sometimes pop up with special offers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about deals on Johannesburg activities answered.

Deals can change weekly or even daily depending on demand and season. It’s best to check regularly since offers might expire or new ones can pop up unexpectedly.

Prices shown reflect the current deal but are not guaranteed until you complete your booking. Some deals might end or change at short notice.

Usually deals apply to single bookings or specific experiences and can’t be stacked together, but it’s worth checking the terms with the provider.

Many deals are seasonal, linked to off-peak periods or special events. Johannesburg’s peak tourist times might have fewer discounts, so timing your visit matters.

Deals cover a variety of things including entry, guided tours, and sometimes packages combining several activities. The details vary per offer.

Booking in advance often secures the deal and availability, but some last-minute specials occur locally too. If you have a tight schedule, book ahead.
