What to see in Johannesburg
Don't be fooled into thinking there's nothing to do in Johannesburg, and merely use it as a transit point to get to the rest of South and southern Africa. The top ten activities in Johannesburg are:
1 |
Immerse yourself in nature - go to the Rhino and Lion Park and pet the baby lion cubs. |
2 |
An organised trip through Soweto, become one with the history by stopping by the memorial of Hector Petersen (who died in the 1976 Soweto uprising). |
3 |
Visit Johannesburg's apartheid museum, and learn how a policy of apartheid was implemented (seperateness) from 1948 onwards. To understand what apartheid South Africa was like a visit to the apartheid museum is indispensable. |
4 |
Catch a lift to the top of the Carlton Centre in Johannesburg's city centre, and view the city. |
5 |
If you've still got a head for hights over being at the top of the Carlton Centre, catch a helicopter flight over Johannesburg's city. |
6 |
And if the helicopter ride wasn't enough to unsettle your stomach, try some of the rides at the amusement park in Gold Reef City. |
7 |
Go watch the favourite South African sports of rugby at Ellis Park OR soccer at FNB Stadium (Soccer City) OR spend a day watching cricket at the Wanderers Cricket Ground. Alternatively go hiking boots at the Suikerbosrand Nature Reserve OR shoot the golf breeze at Johannesburg Golf Club. |
8 |
If you're not into sport, you can watch theatre at the Emperor's Palace (011-928-1937), Johannesburg Youth theatre (011-484-1584), People's theatre (011-403-1563) or the or the Ubunye theatre. |
9 |
The Bird Show at Montecasino is worth a watch, or visit Johannesburg's Zoo. |
