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.

10

Tired of the wildlife? Visit Johannesburg's Botanical Gardens, which is situated on the "West Rand".
