    Houghton Golf club is situated in Johannesburg and boasts one of the best courses in the Johannesburg area. The course is home to several tournaments, including the Alfred Dunhill Championship - a championship between Southern Africa and Australasia that is the Southern Hemisphere’s answer to the Ryder cup. Houghton has also hosted the South Africa Open eight times. This course has gone through some very innovative changes over the past ten years and has been substantially improved and modernized. Holes have been redesigned to incorporate extended water hazards while bunkers have been improved and added to both fairways and greens.

    My very first hike ever was in the Mountains of the Magaliesberg..... what an experience. Its was a really great experience that got me wanting more. I loved hiking amongst the steep slopes of beautiful gorges of the Magaliesberg Mountains , amongst the animals which was running wild in bush. The nice thing about this is that Magaliesberg is about 45min to an hours drive away from JNB.

    The Stadium is situated east of the Johannesburg City Centre in the Ellis Park Precinct which incorporates Ellis Park Stadium and the Standard Bank Arena, Ellis Park Tennis Stadium and world class Ellis Park Swimming Pool. The Johannesburg Stadium complex covers an area of 37 000m2 incorporating the Stadium and warm up track, parking and pedestrian areas. It seats 37 500 spectators for sporting events and up to 65 000 for concerts. The unique design of the Stadium enables spectators to be close to all activities on the field and track, whilst excellent site lines gives superb viewing form all the Stadium's seating. The Stadium can be utilised for multipurpose events such as boxing, wrestling, exhibitions, sporting spectacles, banquets, arts and culture festivals and many community events. The Johannesburg Stadium housed many events of fame up to this stage and we would like to build fort on this. Events like the Tina Turner, U2, Spice Girls, Michael Jackson, the Nelson Mandela 80th Birthday Bash and the Billy Graham Service are some of the successful events staged. The Stadium are one of the most modern Athletic Stadia in Africa. It hosted various big athletic events like the All Africa Games of 1999.
