Holidaying in Johannesburg provides
the perfect fusion between European comfort and African adventure, allowing you
to visit game reserves during the day and have fabulous dining experiences at
night and enjoying cheap flights Johannesburg to London. During the day, visit
The Lion Park, which provides only gates between the herbivorous and the
carnivorous animals, not between you and the animals, so giraffes stop traffic
and you can get within a few feet of lions. The lion feedings are on Sundays,
allowing you to witness true African adventure up close and personal. Before
you leave, make sure that you pet a lion cub (included with your admission).
For an African feast, go to Moyo Zoo Lake on Sundays.
While there are other Moyo locations, Zoo Lake is by far the top experience,
providing a buffet on the lake with African music and face-painting, a blend
between Africana and urban chic. Complete your Sunday by visiting the dayclub
and nightclub Nicci Beach, which has a great vibe on Sunday afternoons to enjoy
drinks while lounging and watching the talented go-go dancers. Nicci Beach is a
wonderful place for the ultra-trendy; however, leave before it gets dark, as
the vibe segues from lounge to overwhelming nightclub.
Other great activities Johannesburg offers are: picnicking at Emmarentia Dam,
gambling, dining or drinking at Emperor’s Palace Casino and Hotel, eating at
Bedford Shopping Center (try ostrich steak at Rich), eating at Nelson Mandela
Square (try Wangthai or The Butcher Shop & Grill), shopping at Oriental
Plaza, having a sundowner at The Westcliff, or going to the upscale shops,
cafes, and restaurants of Melrose Arch.

Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg is a modern airport that is easy to
navigate and provides a very simple entry and exit from the country with
minimal hassles; the airport went through major renovations in preparation for
the 2010 World Cup. Whether you decide to stay in Johannesburg or venture
around the country, renting a car will be an absolute must in Johannesburg
since there is no established public transportation system. Johannesburg
provides both a great city to travel to and explore and a great launching point
for your African travels, whether you want to visit the Drakensburgs, Pretoria,
or Durban.
