Johannesburg is high voltage nouveau riche territory, fast paced and a fun modern, cosmopolitan metropolis packed with vitality and verse. Founded by gold prospectors in the 1880's, the city is the vibrant economic hub of South Africa and offers all the attractions of a glittering, modern city. The cultural diversity of Johannesburg and its surroundings is easily explored in the multitude of traditional restaurants, markets and cultural villages.

Reminders of Johannesburg's gold mining past are still to be found on the southern perimeter and are nowhere better captured than at Golf Reef City. Further north of Johannesburg is historic Pretoria, the nation's administrative capital, famous for its leafy streets and glorious Jacaranda Trees.
