A short guide about Adventure travel to South Africa

Johannesburg is the gateway to South Africa as the majority of international flights arrive and depart from here. Locally known as ‘place of Gold’ Johannesburg has undergone a huge transformation to become a vibrant city and a number of tours start here to Pretoria or Kruger National Park. Johannesburg is the place to visit the Apartheid museum, the Hector Pieterson museum (Soweto) and the Voortreker monument, or take the ‘The Blue Train’ journey which features Cape Town, Pretoria and Kimberley.

National Parks are renowned for their majestic scenery and in South Africa the fourth largest game reserve, Madikwe is just 4 hours’ drive north-west of Johannesburg. This 76,000 hectare reserve was created in 1992 from overgrazed farmland and was considered the biggest conservation project in Africa at the time. Game flourishes here now, including the “Big Five” and rare species such as African wild dog, cheetah and the black rhino.

The ideal place to relax at the end of your safari is at Sun International, Sun City has created a luxury resort complex just 2 hours drive north west of Johannesburg. These Facilities include casinos, nightly entertainment, cabaret acts, the Palace of the Lost City theme park, two 18 hole golf courses and the nearby Pilansberg National Park.

So why not choose the best value packed adventure from tourabout to one of the most beautiful places to visit in the world.
