| Day 1 - 2 |
Johannesburg
Arrive at OR Tambo International Airport. We recommend visitors stay at the
exclusive Sandton City suburb, today the financial hub of Southern Africa where you are within walking distance of the finest shopping centres in Africa including Sandton City and Mandela Square.
A visit to Gold Reef City, a former working goldmine dating back to 1886 is most interesting. Go fourteen levels down the goldmine, watch gold being poured, and experience life during the days of the gold rush. Close by is the architecturally interesting Apartheidsmuseum, packed with thoughtful, though often brutal, reminders of South Africa’s history.
Alternatively the Cradle of Mankind at the Sterkfontein Caves beckons you to step back three million years in time when our ancestors roamed the African Savannah. The nearby Lesedi cultural village enables the visitor to learn more of the village life of the Zulu, Ndebele, Sotho and other local tribes and the traditional dishes and tribal dancing are highly recommended. |
| Day 3 - 4 |
Pilanesberg
Just 40 minutes driving from your hotel is Pretoria, the capital city, with its vast number of jacaranda trees, a wonderful sight in springtime. Before you drive to Pilanesberg, visit the imposing sandstone Union Buildings where the president has his office. The Voortrekker Monument off the R28 provides a shrewd insight into the often violent past of South Africa.
Pilanesberg Game Reserve is set in the crater of an ancient extinct volcano and is home to the majority of the mammals found in Southern Africa. Excursions offered include game drives, night drives, hiking trails and balloon safaris. Overnight at Pilanesberg in a private lodge. |
| Day 5 & 6 |
Sun City
Select from the numerous leisure activities offered: 2 metre waves in the wave pool and fabulous beach, crocodile ranch, aviary and many swimming pools. Wonderful botanical gardens and a man-made rain forest are an unforgettable attraction for the nature lover. Las Vegas styled shows in the Superbowl and a casino offer excitement for the visitor and the spectacular architecture of the Palace at Lost City Hotel is amazing. There are also two Championship golf courses, the more famous one being the Gary Player Country Club, home to the annual Million Dollar Golf Challenge. |
