From the welcome beverages to the bedside treat, we felt cared for every moment of our stay. The tour of the sanctuary allowed us to have an inside look into the life of Nelson Mandela. Each person at the sanctuary told us more about the beautiful history of his time there. We highly recommend a stay at the sanctuary to all who visit Johannesburg. The meals were exceptional and designed with a global perspective. Each dish has its own story.

I'd corresponded with Tumi, the manager, prior to my visit. She was warm and welcoming as was the woman at the front desk who greeted me when I arrived. The breakfast, which is included, is a la carte. I ordered several things, thinking the portions would be small. They were not. Everything was delicious (yogurt and fruit, eggs benedict) and the coffee (I take it black, no cream or sugar) was super. My only criticism was in regards to the restaurant dinner. I ordered chicken tangine which were two thighs in a tangine sauce. The thighs had so many bones and such little meat that I thought they were actually pigeon. The sauce was mediocre. ##### Francesca Stayed 1 night in Nov 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Peter 3 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Peter Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### AMY 17 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### AMY Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Seven Villa Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Johannesburg-Hotels-Seven-Villa-Hotel-And-Spa.h5779871.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt House Johannesburg Rosebank](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Johannesburg-Hotels-Hyatt-House-Johannesburg-Rosebank.h75005468.Hotel-Information) > > [NH Johannesburg Sandton Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Johannesburg-Hotels-Hilton-Sandton.h70281.Hotel-Information) > > [City Lodge Hotel at OR Tambo International Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Johannesburg-Hotels-City-Lodge-Hotel-At-OR-Tambo-International-Airport.h8403573.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyde Johannesburg Rosebank](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Johannesburg-Hotels-Voco-Johannesburg-Rosebank.h56231385.Hotel-Information) > > [Sandton Sun & Towers](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Johannesburg-Hotels-Sandton-Sun.h27361.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Connecting Rooms in London](https://www.expedia.co.uk/London-Hotels-Hotel-With-Connecting-Rooms.0-0-d178279-thotelwithconnectingrooms.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Surrey Hills](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Surrey-Hills-Hotels.0-l6284195-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Medplaya Hotel Calypso](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salou-Hotels-Medplaya-Hotel-Calypso.h1382952.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Hotel The Westcliff, Johannesburg](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Johannesburg-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-The-Westcliff.h438443.Hotel-Information) > > [Southern Sun O.R Tambo](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Johannesburg-Hotels-Southern-Sun-OR-Tambo-International-Airport.h48843.Hotel-Information) > > [InterContinental Johannesburg O.R Tambo Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Johannesburg-Hotels-InterContinental-Johannesburg-OR-Tambo-Airport.h664568.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson RED Hotel, Johannesburg Rosebank](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Johannesburg-Hotels-Radisson-RED-Hotel.h68929782.Hotel-Information) > > [5 Star Hotels in Chania](https://www.expedia.co.uk/5Star-Chania-Hotels.s50-0-d601135.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [African Pride Melrose Arch Hotel, Autograph Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Johannesburg-Hotels-African-Pride-Melrose-Arch-Hotel.h915100.Hotel-Information) > > [Peermont Mondior At Emperors Palace](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Johannesburg-Hotels-Peermont-Mondior-At-Emperors-Palace.h1400366.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in San Antonio Bay](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Antonio-Bay-Sant-Josep-De-Sa-Talaia-Hotels.0-n6347073-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Piazza Hotel Montecasino](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Johannesburg-Hotels-Sunsquare-Montecasino.h12591715.Hotel-Information) > > [One Hyde Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Johannesburg-Hotels-One-Hyde-Park.h18929129.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Blu Gautrain Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Johannesburg-Hotels-Radisson-Blu-Gautrain-Hotel.h3561936.Hotel-Information) > > [Davinci Hotel And Suites On Nelson Mandela Square](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Johannesburg-Hotels-Davinci-Hotel-And-Suites-On-Nelson-Mandela-Square.h2994790.Hotel-Information) > > [The Federal Palace Hotel & Casino](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lagos-Hotels-The-Federal-Palace-Hotel-Casino.h2443754.Hotel-Information) > > [All-Inclusive Hotels in Ocho Rios](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ocho-Rios-Hotels-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d553248635209673480-tAllInclusiveHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Courtyard Hotel Rosebank](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Johannesburg-Hotels-Courtyard-Hotel-Rosebank.h485195.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Edinburgh (EDI) to Zabierzow (KRK)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/edi/krk/edinburgh-to-krakow) ### Activities ### Packages ---
