Johannesburg & Pretoria
South Africa's economic heart, layered with living history.
- Culture & Heritage
- MICE & Corporate
The country's largest city and most common international gateway, home to the Apartheid Museum, Constitution Hill, Soweto's living history, and the jacaranda-lined streets of neighbouring Pretoria.
Most itineraries touch Johannesburg as a gateway rather than a destination in itself, but a day or two here rewards the traveler with some of South Africa's most important recent history: the Apartheid Museum, Constitution Hill, and a guided tour of Soweto, including the streets where both Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu once lived. Sandton adds premium shopping and business infrastructure for MICE groups, and Pretoria's Union Buildings and Voortrekker Monument sit a short drive away.
