Practical advice and inspiration to help you prepare for your holiday
Anyone with an interest in history, Art Deco architecture, Mahatma Gandhi, Mandela or (a bit more niche, this one) South African urban theatre. Johannesburg is perfect for those who want to experience a city in transition, and drink in the sense of dynamism and intensity inherent in that. And finally, it's for those eager to learn more about the complexities of contemporary South Africa and who want to understand more about South African society, past or present.
Seeing another side to South Africa away from safari parks, winelands and prettier cities. The Zulus still call Johannesburg ‘the city of gold’ and there is cultural gold here if you know where to look. Start at Satyagraha House for an insight into Gandhi and his fledgling footsteps towards passive resistance. Then switch from Mahatma to Madiba with a visit to Nelson Mandela’s house, now a museum and almost a shrine. A little further on in Soweto, visit the memorial to the black schoolboy Hector Pieterson, shot dead during apartheid era riots against the enforced learning of Afrikaans. In short, Johannesburg is a city that evokes strong emotions.
Go down a goldmine. Descend 720ft down a mine shaft to experience the life of a gold miner and learn about the extreme working conditions they endured from a local guide.
