Johannesburg, Gauteng Province, South Africa

I did an airport stops between London and Durban. Apart from London Heathrow, this has got to be one of the busiest airports I've seen. The service there is good

3. Percy's Tip on Johannesburg

Johannesburg, Gauteng Province, South Africa

Johannesburg is unfortunately known for being the third most dangerous city in the world. However there are some very nice places to visit such as the Sun City and also some nice safari to do. There are also some nice shopping complex in Sandton. Food is very nice and I would recommend all meat lovers to have a try there.

8. Andy's Tip on Johannesburg

Johannesburg, Gauteng Province, South Africa

Filet steak for no money at the Grillhouse accompanied by lovely spinach, don't forget to order a local wine. May a 'Allesverloren'!! Don't forget the safari....Don't go to the Mahkavli (?) Lodge in Bella Bella, they're game reserve isn't as great as they think...

9. Tamara's Tip on Johannesburg

Johannesburg, Gauteng Province, South Africa

I lived in Johannesburg for 10 months and I never had a problem! Everybody keeps on saying how dangerous the city is, but is only dangerous if you are not careful! My host family lived in Soweto, and although people also find it very dangerous, I didn't have problems there. Joburg is just great! A unique city.
