Johannesburg
JoBurg is the largest city in South Africa and is growing by the day. With a sprawling population, Johannesburgs suburbs extend far beyond the city sky scrapers. Typically it has not been regarded as a tourist destination but that is changing quickly with the development of new museums, shopping malls and open spaces. Much is said about the high crime levels, however the government insists that statistics are improving and tourists are reminded to travel without valuables, while also steering clear of notorious areas without guides. |
