Destination Profile
The townships and downtown of Johannesburg remain the beating hub of the Rainbow Nation. Vibrant and classy, gritty and cool, they're hurtling headlong into the future with all-new businesses and swish eateries. But there's still an important chronicling of the past, with museums dedicated to Nelson Mandela and the dark years of Apartheid. You can sample the energy of the big city after touching down on cheap flights to Johannesburg from USA. Though you probably won't want to ignore the wild lands that await on the horizon. They include the savannahs of Kruger and the Sabi Sand – where elephant herds roam between stalking cheetahs – and the ridges of Pilanesberg – a primeval world of hyenas and roaring lion prides.
Discover the township of Soweto, where the old home of one Nelson Mandela is now preserved.
Jacaranda trees bloom purple atop Pretoria's neat streets, making the administrative capital of South Africa a gorgeous place to come and tour.
Not far from Johannesburg, the Pilanesberg National Park boasts game drives that can reveal the Big Five fame of Africa.
