I’m looking to connect with Local Guides who are based in the enigmanic and intriguing city of Johannesburg, South Africa. Tried to find some meet-ups to no avail. Please halla if you’re keen to start something?
Alternatively, if you’re a Local Guide from anywhere in the world, but are spending some time in Johannesburg, please touch base as well?

Hi @Venturesome_Dudu , I really recommend searching the community as suggested by @IlankovanT to find fellow Local Guides from your area. Try searching for mentions of your city/country (in this case Johannesburg) to find posts that have that name in the title, body of the post, or the location tag. Feel free to jump into these conversations, engage with the Local Guides near you, and plan a meet-up. Good luck with it!
I’ve joined the Johannesburg local guides as per that link in one of the replieson your post. A proper meeting should be organised and some networking afterwards?
How about Mall of Africa? I find contributing to be quite addictive. Would like to chat about how some things… ie how we benefit as guides, and what kind of perks there are and when we receive it. Badges and levels are not really that valuable unless there are some real incentives attached. So i would like to hear from guys in the community what keeps them going?
So we have a topic, or a suggested topic. Let me know what u guys think. Think this is central enough.
@paulsaad , @Henninglubbe , I have removed the contact details from your posts as Connect is a public forum and we want to ensure everyone’s privacy. There is a private messaging system in place if you wish to get in touch with other Local Guides.
You can check out the meet-up site to find out if there are any meet-ups happening near you. You are always welcome to host your own too! Here are some information that may be useful to you when hosting your first meet-up:
