    This is one of the best museums we have ever visited. We spent more than 4 and a half hours going through the permanent and temporary exhibitions (even though we tried to skip some parts...). It was so informative and moving at the same time. I feel that with all conflicts going around right now, each human being must visit this museum at least once in their life. We loved the "Born free" exhibition the most as it shows the country today through the generations of those born after 1994.

    This is a pretty wonderful place off the radar in Johannesburg. It is a maze of artist Studios and shops surrounded by organic flower and vegetable gardens.
    You can visit with the artists, purchase their work or find beautiful crafts in some of the shops. There is also a gin distillery, though it was closed during our visit, and a nice coffee shop for some tea and cookies. You pass through a pretty rough neighbourhood to get there, but there is a guard at the gate. It felt so much more authentic than the Africa souvenir stores.

    Theme Park is amazing, incredible games and time passed so rapidly! I went in my birthday, so I didn't pay the entrance and most of the games, but others I had to pay, and their website didn't give complete information. I recommend an update of terms and conditions of what their offer in the birthdays.

    This is a very big zoo! Fortunately we hired a golf cart and got to see everything.
    Not a lot of places to buy food, so you must take your picnic with you.
    Toilets spaced out well.
    Very large variety of animals!

    I was very emotional to visit the property , it’s very worth it to see it with your own eyes . It’s quiet small so it’s goes very quick .

    This is the BEST park in Johannesburg by far. Beautiful forest with indigenous trees in the middle of the concrete jungle. This is the Lil Eden where I find my center.

    While I was still in the car the dancers outside Mandela’s house had formed some type of human pyramid but my guide had already warned me that if you look at them they will want money so I had to get out of the car with my eyes averted to walk to the museum. I know they don’t mean any harm but they are too in-your-face and you wouldn’t be game to walk around. I would have liked to look at the souvenirs on sale but again, I know how pushy the vendors are.

    The market is a lot smaller, but it seems to be of better value. Food was really good (Tacos and Indian Curry). The place did not seemed to be very busy after lunch but there were painting classes and Some good quality hand made South African clothing and crockery on display.

    Super clean, well maintained exhibits and such a huge variety of different planes and war vehicles. Kids loved the artillery, I found the library and museum particularly fascinating. New, clean bathrooms. Safe area and parking. A must for international and local visitors

    Lesser known than the Apartheid Museum but what a must visit memorial. It's still hard to get our head around these events happening in our lifetime. This museum is an eye opener to the 1976 uprising & makes you shake your head that children were victims of such events. Definitely worth the visit.
    Bring your tissues!

    In Johannesburg, most people will recommend staying in Sandton or Rosebank due to their cleanliness, malls, and notable global hotel brands. For me, those places don't quite fit the bill. If you're looking for a place with more soul, culture, and play cousins, consider staying in the Maboneng precinct.

    Maboneng precinct, derived from the Sotho word meaning "place of light," was my preferred place to stay for a very long time. To draw a parallel, envision Maboneng, as a sister neighborhood to Fort Greene, Brooklyn in the early 2000s—an initially impoverished area that experienced a transformative evolution into a vibrant urban oasis, renowned for its dynamic arts scene, eclectic street art, urban dining establishments, and trendy boutiques, surrounded by the intriguing conversion of once abandoned warehouses into chic apartment buildings. Vogue Magazine aptly dubbed it, “The Coolest Neighborhood in Johannesburg.” The neighborhood exudes a hip vibe with a touch of edginess. While some may interpret "edgy" as sketchy, it's essential to note that although it retains a certain edge, Maboneng is a safe neighborhood, and the entire area is under 24-hour guard patrol.

    While options for more spacious multi-bedroom accommodations might be somewhat limited, they are certainly not out of reach. For the more budget-conscious traveler, consider exploring the affordable and stylish Airbnb rentals within the trendy 12 Decades condo/hotel building. For those with an adventurous spirit, their penthouse boasts a charming claw-foot tub right in the heart of the living room. Should you require it, I can point you to an excellent spot for acquiring a Polaroid camera and film at a good price. Keep it sexy, folks.

    By all means visit Soweto and challenge old stereotypes. Recommend the excellent Mandy Imbizo Tours, run by a local.
