A brief introduction to Johannesburg
Known as South Africa’s ‘City of Gold’, Johannesburg boasts a fascinating history, world class museums, as well as access to Africa’s diverse and exotic wildlife reserves.
For a deeper understanding of the anti-apartheid movement, consider visiting the former houses of Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu, as well as the Apartheid Museum and the Hector Pieterson Memorial. There is also fascinating archaeological history to be discovered at the UNESCO Site the Cradle of Humankind, the world’s richest hominid site. Hosting around 40% of the world’s human ancestor fossils, the site depicts human evolution over the last 3.5 million years.
For an inside look at real ‘Jozi’ culture, pay a visit to the lively precinct of Maboneng – a well-connected urban suburb in downtown Johannesburg. Rapidly rising as a hub of innovation, this unique neighbourhood boasts a multitude of galleries, art walks, quirky boutiques and weekly food markets.
If you wish to have an adventure on an African safari, few wildlife reserves are as popular as Kruger National Park, which can be reached in a 5 hour drive. Here you may find some of the continent’s most iconic animals, including the ‘Big Five’; lions, leopards, rhinoceros, elephants and buffalo.
