Things to do in Johannesburg
Johannesburg
Visitors basing their trip in South Africa's largest city will be happily surprised by the number of things to do in Johannesburg and the surrounding area. In a busy metropolis that was once the home of Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu, tourists find a vast array of shopping opportunities and eclectic dining options. Check out Apartheid Museum if you wish to learn about the nation's tumultuous past and struggle for emancipation. To get out of town for a while and see more of the continent, plan a day trip or safari to some of Africa's game reserves and national parks, where you'll be able to spot elephants, hippos, lions, and many other iconic animals.
