Gauteng

Gauteng is best known for its large cities and metropolitan regions such as Johannesburg and Pretoria. Johannesburg is a vibrant and modern city whose roots stem from the discovery of gold.  A high voltage city, Johannesburg is fast-paced, fun, and exciting. Its modern architecture and design conflict beautifully with the sedate yet elegant gardens in the affluent neighborhoods of the city. Peaceful sanctuaries located within upscale neighborhoods are picture perfect on any given day. At night, the city comes alive with music, celebrations, and a zest for life like no other city in Africa. Fabulous restaurants, incredible luxury hotels, and boutique one-of-a-kind lodgings make Johannesburg the perfect destination to begin or end any African adventure.
