Johannesburg City Tour

Johannesburg, or ‘Jozi’ as the locals call it, is South Africa's largest city and is its financial and commercial heart. It is in this fast-paced metropolis that the country's radical political and social transformation is most evident, this is the 'Rainbow Nation' at work. Start in the vibrant Newtown Cultural District. Get a historical perspective of the area and immerse yourself in events chronicled in Museum Africa. Continue to gain perspective into the city and visit the residential neighborhood ‘grey area’ of Hillbrow. Here you will discover how different ethnicities lived happily together – in spite of the apartheid struggle. Then, embrace a face of Africa that has largely disappeared with a visit to the Museum of Man and Science where you will marvel at the ‘muti’ shop or medicine shop that includes traditional dried herbs that can cure almost any ailment. Time permitting, experience the ‘urban togetherness’ of Jozi residents on the east side of town, and visit the lively neighborhood of Maboneng. This private experience is tailored to suit your interests.
