About this tour
The South African Airways Museum school tour at Rand Airport, Germiston in Gauteng, is a CAPS-aligned History and Tourism excursion for Grade 1–12 learners. The two-hour guided lecture is led by an ex-SAA crew member who lived the airline's story first-hand.
Learners board the iconic SAA Boeing 747 and step inside the legendary Lebombo, exploring cockpits, cabins and the evolution of South African aviation — from propeller aircraft to long-haul jets. The session covers airline operations, aviation careers and the role of SAA in connecting the country to the world.
Wilrien School Tours handles the full educational excursion package: bus transport (if required) from your school, museum entry, professional guiding and teacher support — making it one of the most loved aviation school tours in Gauteng.
