Johannesburg, along with its twin city Pretoria, sits in the mid-north eastern state of Gauteng. Since the early days of the gold rush it has grown into one of the wealthiest cities in the world, but, more so than Cape Town, has a real sense of Africa about it. Recent times have seen the advent of a more cosmopolitan era, with a range of sophisticated hotels, first-class eateries and boutique shops arriving on the scene. If you have time, take an organised tour of Soweto where South Africa’s recent history and triumph over apartheid are laid bare.
Just a 40 minute flight away from Jo-burg, Sun City is one of the most luxurious resorts in South Africa. Situated on the edge of the Kalahari, this exciting array of entertainments, gourmet restaurants and safari experiences is perfect for families and couples who enjoy world-class accommodation with an abundance of expertly orchestrated activities.
