Gauteng and Johannesburg

Gauteng is the economic powerhouse of South Africa. It offers an amazing array of historical, cultural and natural attractions and houses the two main cities of Johannesburg and Pretoria. Township tours, battlefields, gravesites, museums, memorials and many sites of historical and cultural interest are interspersed with pockets of natural beauty and significance.

Johannesburg is not just a reconnecting destination for flights but has so much more to offer. Plan a trip to the Cradle of Humankind World Heritage Site, located a mere 45 km from Johannesburg. This is a remarkable 47 000 hectare destination, boasting a rich and fascinating history told to us through the ancient fossils that have been found here, and an extraordinary 387 attractions, including restaurants, art and craft outlets, lodges, wildlife facilities, places of historical interest and spaces for young and old to just have fun. The Cradle of Humankind offers a wonderful experience for national and International tourists and a rich source of information for scientists and researchers. Other places of interest within the World Heritage Site are the world-famous Sterkfontein Caves and the award winning Interpretation Centre at Maropeng.
