Hi James
I suggest that you have a read of top J'burg member junecorelett- link is

She has great ideas, and would also answer any email that you send her.
You could do a safari at Kruger Park, but your time is quite limited.
Good luck

Witch Doctors
by cokes
I don`t have any good to say about these people after what rumors goes around and what the media have to say about these people. Well I guess there is good ones (the traditional healers) who is there to try and help the people.
The Black people in South Africa is very superstitious and they believe in witch craft. The witch doctor will throw bones and he will tell you stuff like your future and put curses on people.
Who knows , this is one of the local customs practised by the local tribal people of South Africa.
Soweto
by cokes
Guess what? I happen to have an opportunity to go to the famous township Soweto.
Well what can I say? The taxi drivers seems to be worse in Soweto , the place is not very clean and people can be seen all over in street.
I think places like Hector Peterson Memorial and the house of Nelson Mandela is worth seeing and the new bungee site at Orlando Towers but I would go here in a tour group then rent a car and risk the possibilities of getting lost in Soweto.
The Ultimate House Experience
by cokes about CarFax
For those of you who loves to get down to House Music. Well this is your place to be. They have everything from Trance House , Funky House and House Africa.
Well if I had to describe this place , its more like a warehouse that comes to life on the weekends. I guess Non , come like you are.
Vegetarians are spoilt for choice...
by Janene about Graasroots
I've never had a bad exp[erience at this restaurant. The food is superb - vegetarians struggle to find good choices in most South African restaurants (largely due to the fact that South Africans generally gravitate toward enormous steaks) but at Grassroots you are truly spoilt for choice. Everything is heavenly...
