Greater Johannesburg

It's the city founded on gold - whether you call it Johannesburg, Jo'burg, Joeys, Jozi or Egoli.

It's fast.  It's furious.  It's vibrant, energetic and ever-changing. It doesn't sleep.  It's exciting.  It's a city of contrasts:  Opulent and ostentatious wealth.  Abject and mind-numbing poverty.   Where east meets west.  And first and third worlds leap across the divide.  It's the heartbeat of Africa fused with the West and interlaced with the East.  It's a city where everything is possible ... and usually is.

Jozi is one of the top 40 metropolitan areas in the world.  It's the financial, economic and commercial hub of Africa; multi-national, multi-cultural, multi-faceted.  It is also the largest man-made forest in the world!

Joburg is different things to different people - from palatial entertainment centres to the ultimate in spas, urban jazz to authentic markets, trendy hotels to shopping meccas - historical golf course to theme parks. 

Miss it and miss out!
