VAT refund
Whatever you buy in South Africa, ask for a atx invoice.
The VAT is 14%
When you are at the airport, you show your invoices and they give you a cheque for a direct refund. So, you save 14% on all your purchases.
In Europe, they only refund invoices with amount greater than 100 Euro.
In South Africa, they refund everything.

Just be in time at the airport, because there is a queue.

    Hiking equipment
    There are a couple of good sports shops in the shopping center in Northcliff. We obviously did not want to carry everything we needed for our safari around the world for 6 months, but that was no problem.

    Hiking boots, flash light / tent lamp, self inflatable mattresses, swiss army knives.

    A little more than half of what we would have paid in Norway. Hiking boots: appr. 70 US$

    Biltong: Dry food
    When the first Boers came to South Africa, they had to find a way to preserve food for long distance journeys.
    They made Biltong, first with meet. They fully dry meet, so that they can keep it for years.
    You can also apply this technic to other food like fruits and vegetables.
    I like particularly the bush meet in Biltong.

    Buy it in town, maybe in supermarkets, because at the airport, it is not the best quality and it is very expensive

    Killarney Mall: A cosy and friendly place to shop
    Killarney Mall is one of Johannesburg's most established shopping centres. Today the Mall remains unpretentious, posh yet still ultra-stylish and modern with a wide variety of stores and businesses to choose from. Killarney Mall is an under-stated meeting place and can truly be said to be the leader in a new era of intelligent Malls where intelligent people like to shop.

    There are various outstanding shops at Killarney Mall but here are a few to look out for:

    Congo Joe - Enter this dream world of wonderful homeware and you won't be disappointed.

    Zwilling Ja Henckels - If you take your kitchen tools seriously, then this one-of-a-kind shop is for you.

    Boyes @ us - Carrol Boyes' uniquely South African items are distinctive, admired and enjoyed as beautiful and functional acquisitions for the home.

    The Baron Tobacconist - For that special gift, take a look at the extensive range of cigar and pipe accessories, desk sets, pub items and games.

    Mugg & Bean - Their famous bottomless coffee cups of freshly roasted coffee are a major attraction and the selection of cakes - many of them baked in-house - is one you have to see to believe.

    Chinese Supermarket - a range of authentic Asian gifts.

    Monte Cassino: Italian Style
    Monte Cassino is not a simple shop, it is a real town made like the famous Italian village. But you are not outside, you are in a large building and the roof is like the sky. Lighting is done to make it like in Italy, you can have a sunrise, a sunset, the hot sun of the afternoon or a romantic stars sky.
    There are a lot of different restaurants for all tastes, and some shops.
    I enjoyed the stone and cristal shop, where you can buy samples of all what you can find in the ground of Southern Africa.

    Stones, perfumed tobacco, wine, Biltong

    Prices are higher than in the streets, but if you are not from Johannesburg, it is better to go to such an area because of security.
