It is not an exaggeration to say that Johannesburg and its surrounding suburbs are the economic engine that drives much of the industry in Southern Africa, as well as being the major hub for travel into Southern Africa. However, the city offers far more... a cosmopolitan city for cuisine, culture and sport. Hop onboard one of our day tours and find out more of what Jo'burg, or Jozi as it is more affectionately known has to offer. For a historical perspective on South Africa, visit Pretoria, the legislative capital of the country, visit the Apartheid Museum for an evocative glimpse into the apartheid era, or travel to the glittering 'fantasy land' of Sun City.
