The Apartheid Museum: Located around 8km south-west of the city centre off the M1 freeway, the Apartheid Museum illustrates the rise and fall of South Africa’s era of segregation and oppression. Providing a chilling insight into the apartheid system, the museum is invaluable in explaining the inequalities and tensions that still exist today. Visiting the centre can be an overwhelming yet uplifting experience, and is a must-see for anyone who wishes to gain a greater understanding of South Africa’s past.
The Orlando Towers: The Orlando Towers offer the ultimate experience for thrill-seekers. Situated in Soweto, around thirty minutes by car from the centre of Johannesburg, the 33-storey towers of a former power station are used for extreme sports — such as bungee jumping, abseiling and zip line pendulum swinging.
Big Cat Experience: Less than one hour’s drive from Johannesburg, this popular tourist attraction offers visitors the opportunity to witness the largest of all feline predators. With Clouded Leopards, Black Leopards, Jaguars, Panthers, White Tigers and Lions, this is a truly wild experience that you will never forget.
