Johannesburg is famous for its reputation. You will look for interesting things about it. Despite its status as the largest and richest city in the country, it has never been the seat of government or national political power, allowing it to concentrate fully on what it has always done best: make money and get ahead. Those priorities have, over the ...

Crime is unbelievable in J'burg. It was a constant "looking over your shoulder" during my visit.

Ask residents about the need to have barbed wire around their homes.

THE SOUTH IS BETTER
JOHANESBURGO IS A STOP POINT ON THE WAY TO KRUGERS PARK
IN FACT IF YOU GO BY CAR TO KRUGERS, I STAYED IN ARABELLA SHERATON IN CAPE TOWN, BUT THEN I WENT TO THE PROTEA HOTEL KRUGERS GATE AND THE PLACE WAS CHEAP AND VERY NICE
GO THERE
JOHANESBURGO LOOKS VERY MUCH LIKE CARACAS
OF COURSE THE HOTELS SURROUNDING THE AIRPORT ARE STUNNING
VERY NICE PLACE, BUT THE SOUTH, IS MUCH BETTER

My wife and I just returned from our honeymoon, which included two weeks in South Africa. Most of our trip was wonderful, and we had almost nothing negative to say about any of the hotels, airlines or other travel-related companies that we used during our stay there.

With three girls for every guy this is a match made in heaven. with offers like drink till you drop or girls gets in for free just think about all the fun you can have.

I absolutely enjoyed my trip to Jo'burg. The people there are really friendly and accpeted me as one of their own. The food there was GREAT, and I swear I didn't eat for a couple of days when I got back to America. The only con about Jo'Burg, is that it's so Americanized. I stayed in a 4-star Hotel, across the street from the ...

Johannesburg is the largest city in SA. It is the financial center of SA and of course, the most fast paced. Johannesburg is responsible for 19% of SA's GDP and is home to 4 million people in the city alone, not including surrounding suburbs. The crime situation has reduced massively over the last 10 years although still bad by international ...

Johannesburg is a fast paced city compared to Cape Town or Durban where life is laid back. There are many things that will put you off- for starters, taxis. They cause more accidents than any other vehicle. Crime is a very serious issue, but being safe is part of life and you have to watch your back. This is a reality in South Africa but it has not ...
