- Yeoville Water Tower - Constructed in 1914, this spherical steel drum tower was engineered to store 50,000 gallons of water within its 8-meter wide tank. The striking red structure rises to a height of just over 27.5 meters. Its spherical tank design is inspired by a German model and was partially imported from Europe. The tower’s unique onion shape dominates the hill it occupies, located to the northeast of Johannesburg city. The distinctive design and elevated, prominent location of the Yeoville Water Tower make it a notable landmark in the suburban skyline of Johannesburg.
- Rockey Street - Experience the essence of the continent in Afro-cosmopolitan Yeoville. From East to West Africa, Yeoville offers a diverse experience. Walking the length of the historic Rockey Street is a sensational journey. The walk features breathtaking views, forgotten Victorian architecture, and a rich political heritage, all enhancing the culinary adventure. This is a food tour like no other, so come ready to broaden your palate. All that’s needed is an open mind, some spending money, and a comfortable pair of walking shoes!

Taste of Africa Tour will remind all Joburgers there is a vibrant street culture in the city! Do it!!! - The Taste of Africa Food tour was such a wonderful time and way to experience another side to the city. We had 4 stops and walked around Yeoville in between. Also met some great people who were also on the tour with us.
(1) first, a delicious grilled Cameroonian fish and plantain.
(2) Followed by a walk around an African food market. (3) Next, delicious Ethiopian food.
(4) And ending in a South African meal at a cool bar. All washed down by cold beers.
The Northern Suburbs of Joburg often feel dead at night, given mall culture etc. This was such a welcome reminder that there is a vibrant street culture in the city, if you venture beyond the usual spots.
Thank you Delight, Alvaro, Mbosingenj, Mangqliso and Simthandile!

Amazing Immersive experience of Johannesburg - We did the Taste Of Africa Foodie Tour around Yeoville and it was extraordinary! Mangaliso and Mbongiseni were incredible guides that took us to 3 different stops to try food from Cameroon, Ethiopia and South Africa. Food was phenomenal and we got to experience Johannesburg as a local for a couple of hours! They also showed us Ponte Tower and explained some of its history. Needless to say, our guides made us feel extremely safe every second of the tour and happily answered any doubts we had. Would 100000% recommend!

A definite must do if in Joburg! - We coupled this tour with the Hillbrow tour. These are a definite must do if in Joburg. An amazing experience walking the streets gaining an insightful and eye-opening look into these misunderstood areas of the city. Was quite the experience! Both our guides, Delight and Alvaro were also incredible and amazing people. Was great to literally hang out with them all day. all proceeds also go towards funding the community school run within the Ponte Tower.

Fantastic food and cultural experience. - This tour was memorable beyond our expectations. We saw a side of Jozi we could not have seen otherwise and we experienced foods and culture like we have never done before. The guides knew the area, the food, and the people, which made the tour feel like an inside look into a community.
