Bustling city life
Joburg
Johannesburg in South Africa is the second largest city in Africa, with
more than three million people calling this bustling metropolis home.
This city, the City of Gold, has so much to offer with wonderful restaurants, relaxed sidewalk cafes,
laughter-filled shebeens, glitzy shopping malls, tranquil parks, unique emotive museums and monuments,
thrilling casinos, busy townships, stunning galleries, funky nightclubs, and more.
Johannesburg’s entertainment and leisure options are vast and varied, so make sure your energy levels are
high when you visit. This dynamic city has a range of restaurants – from pub ‘n grub bars, pizza take-outs and
African-inspired eateries to delightful delis serving everything from a great cup of coffee to healthy meals.
There are restaurants for virtually every type of cuisine, as well as cocktail bars, cigar bars and fine dining.
You’ve simply got to hang out at one of the many eateries in Soweto (along the famous Vilakazi Street), or
soak up the sun in the Soho-type villages of Norwood, Parkhurst and Greenside.
Johannesburg is known for its incredible nightlife. From the funky clubs and pubs of Soweto to the laidback
jazzy groove of Newtown and the stylish venues of the northern suburbs, Jozi (as locals like to call it)
caters for all tastes.
What you’ll love about the place is the multi-cultural cosmopolitan vibe and an attitude that says “let’s
party”. If you’re looking for a comedy club, a jazz lounge or a venue that plays live music – from rock to
pop to kwaito to house – it’s all here.
Johannesburg’s Central Business District continues to evolve, with an ongoing urban renewal and cultural
regeneration programme that’s breathing new life into the city.
Must-do activities include the Apartheid Museum and Constitution Hill to find out more about South
Africa’s turbulent past; sundowners at The Westcliff Hotel overlooking the greenbelt of Johannesburg while
listening to the lions roar from the nearby Johannesburg Zoo; shopping up a storm at any of the many
designer malls such as Sandton City, Nelson Mandela Square, Rosebank Mall and Soweto’s Maponya Mall;
and, as a fitting end to all the fun, a visit to one of many health and beauty spas, or a walk in one of the
many parks.
Johannesburg is a rapidly changing city and the vibrant heart of South Africa. Whether you are en route to
a safari or passing through for business, this city welcomes you and hopes to fulfil all your travel needs.

When you think of South Africa, the
incredible Kruger National Park most
Not only can you catch a glimpse of the famous Big Five, but you will find yourself surrounded by hundreds of species of birds, ancient trees, winding rivers,
superb accommodation and adventure. Basically, it’s a one-stop shop for all of your wildlife dreams.
Imagine rising with the South African sun. Driving out of your camp, filled with anticipation as you keep your eyes peeled for an overnight lion kill, a leopard
casually draped over the branch of a big tree or a herd of elephants taking a morning stroll. Then ask yourself, is there anywhere else in the world you’d
rather be?
The Kruger National Park is home to thousands of animals. From giraffes browsing for Acacia leaves to chew on and a herd of buffalo crossing the road right
in front of you, to elusive big cats enjoying a spot of shade and fish eagles letting out their distinctive call – it’s the Lion King in live action.
It’s hard to believe your eyes when you see the herds of hundreds of antelope or crocodiles basking in the afternoon sun while the hippos keep cool under
water. Not to mention the things you’ll hear, they are just as unbelievable – hyenas cackling the night away as male lions roar for dominance, and if you’re
lucky, the almost silent footsteps of a pack of wild dogs on the prowl.
This is just a small taste of all the things you can see, hear and do in one of the world’s most-loved game parks. The Kruger National Park enjoys a great
year-round sunny climate and offers all kinds of activities, from guided game drives and bush walks with an armed ranger to three-night walking trails in deep
wilderness areas.
With so much to see and do, it’s hardly surprising that the Kruger National Park gets over 1.4 million visitors a year. However, because it’s so big – 352km
from north to south, and covering over 1.9 million hectares with 2500km of tar and dirt roads – you will be amazed at how often you find yourself being
treated to a private sighting. Don’t be fooled though, with so many expertly-camouflaged animals calling the park home, you’re never really alone.

Dip your toes in the Golden Mile of
Durban
beaches
They don’t call Durban
“South Africa’s
Playground” for nothing. It
is South Africa’s very own
seaside paradise, famous
for its beaches and the
warm Indian Ocean. So
dig your toes in the sand,
take a dip in the sea and
enjoy your time in South
Africa’s third biggest city.
Durban’s beaches lie along a stretch of golden
sand, known locally as the Golden Mile. From Blue
Lagoon’s fishing spot to the sunken Vetch’s Pier, a
host of flat, sandy beaches invite you to set down
an umbrella and towel, and while away hours in
the sun.
Blessed with warm water, robust waves and
seemingly endless stretches of sandy beaches,
you’ll soon understand why Durban (eThekwini) is
everyone’s favourite seaside playground. Warm and
sunny most of the year year, Durban’s beaches offer
public amenities, protective shark nets, beacons
to indicate safe bathing and lifeguards on duty for
most of the day.
Page| 28Sunshine, sand, rock pools and warm water typify
the idyllic beach conditions at Umdloti; while
Addington Beach, close to the harbour entrance at
the southern end of Durban Bay, is more protected,
which means smaller waves that lend itself to
learning how to surf. Durban’s South Beach is a
popular surf spot and is known as a safe place for
beginner surfers. North Beach delivers stunning
sunrises all-year round and is blissfully warm. Then
there is Dairy Beach on Durban’s Golden Mile, which
is a renowned surfing spot.
About 15 minutes’ north of Durban, Umhlanga Rocks
beach is lined with luxury hotels and apartments.
This is a fun spot with a permanent holiday vibe.
Umhlanga’s village is full of restaurants, sidewalk
cafes, pubs and clubs. If you’re after a quieter spot,
Umhlanga’s Bronze Beach is more secluded, while
Umdloti, Salt Rock and Zinkwazi, further north, are
more family friendly.
Down the South Coast you’ll find a selection of pristine
Blue Flag beaches including Hibberdene, Margate,
Marina, Umzumbe, Ramsgate, Lucien and Trafalgar.
For some of the most pristine stretches of sand
in the world, places like Kosi Bay, Cape Vidal and
Sodwana Bay (part of the iSimangaliso Wetlands
Park World Heritage Site) offer unspoilt beaches
and plentiful fauna and flora. Sodwana has the
added bonus of being the prime diving spot in
South Africa, sometimes referred to as “South
Africa’s Barrier Reef”.
Durban boasts 600km of subtropical beaches on its
coastline and what makes this fantastic coastline
even better is that the area has fantastic weather
all-year round – even in winter. The people are
friendly and there is no greater place to enjoy a
vibrant beach holiday anywhere else in the world.
