Johannesburg: Egoli, The City of Gold & Soul

Built on gold and ambition, this is the continent’s high-energy pulse. While you can feel its complex history in Soweto and the Apartheid Museum, modern “Jozi” is a playground of non-stop energy. Get your thrills at the Gold Reef City theme park, explore the vast Lion & Safari Park, or take to the skies in a hot air balloon over the Cradle of Humankind. From high-end shopping in Sandton to the vibrant art-filled streets of Maboneng, this is where South Africa’s dynamic urban soul comes alive.
