Your private guide for daytrips from Johannesburg
by Airpunk
Johannesburg, South Africa’s largest city, is a popular place for visitors to South Africa. But this doesn’t come from the attractions in the city – the attractions outside are much more interesting. For wildlife, make a trip to the Pilanesberg national park or the Lion park, for culture, the cradle of humankind or the Lesedi cultural village are interesting places. This means, that you have to take a rental car, take organized tours or go with your private guide.
We did the tours with Annekie and Henry from Catz Tours. They are surely among the most friendly people I’ve ever met and they did the best to show us their country. They have their standard tours, but as it your private tour, they are fexible when it comes to date and time. And of course, they can also show you around in Johannesburg or take you on a tour through Soweto.

Zulu people
by Manyana
Zulu tribe is famous in South Africa, very interesting. Women dress with short skirts, and bare-breast, men wear short pants and children may go naked sometimes.
You can interact with them in their natural settings in Kwa-Zulu Natal province or at cultural villages for tourists.
This is now called 'Brightwater Commons'
by CatherineReichardt
The above tip is several years out of date. The 'Randburg Waterfront' was redeveloped about 4 years ago and rebranded as 'Brightwater Commons'. The complex consists of shops (including Pick'n'Pay and Woolworths), a cinema, a skateboard park, Virgin Active gym and quite a lot of restuarants. It is a pleasant and secure place (with ample parking and lots of space for kids to run around) to spend a few hours if you live in JHB or happen to be in the area, but probably isn't worth a special trip.
Melville, Greenside, Parkhurst

Melville, Greenside, Parkhurst
Melville has the largest concentration of night clus, pubs and restaurants in Johannesburg. There is something for everybody (excluding parking space, that is!)
Greenside and Parkhurst's main avenues have some of the best restaurants in Jo'burg.
Traditional African Food
by Stuwalmsley2003 about MOYO
We had a great meal here. The restaurant serves traditional African meals. There are differnt areas to eat. Outside are some big sofas, inside there are smarter tables and booths all in candlelight. It is a very nice place in the ricer suburb of melrose so security is no problem at all. Venison Bobosie. Venison braised with malay spices and baked with an egg custard, served with crispy popadum, rice and a sambals.
