Our core business is to provide pre-booked, private road transport services for FIT travellers, to Incoming Tour Operators. Our mission is quite simply to provide every guest who travels with us, service beyond expectations. Based in Gauteng, the company operates a fleet of twelve vehicles up to 7 seats in size. We offer a range of sightseeing tours within Gauteng, as well as local and long-distance transfers. Our drivers are registered tourist guides and aim to provide each of our guests with a memorable experience, whether it be a short trip from airport to hotel, or several days of sightseeing in and around Gauteng. The company’s name is rooted in the early history of this part of South Africa, where in the 1880’s the Witwatersrand (ridge of white waters) became well known around the world to gold prospectors, adventurers and entrepreneurs. The name “Wilro” is taken from two farms that existed on the western Witwatersrand, Wilgespruit (Willow Creek) and Roodekrans (red cliff). Two brothers, Fred and Harry Struben, prospected for gold on these farms, discovering the Confidence Reef before the discovery of the main reef in 1886. The discovery of gold in turn led to the establishment of Johannesburg, which has become South Africa’s largest city and its commercial and financial capital.
