"Waya, waya" -

Waya Waya – there is no better way to describe Johannesburg, Pretoria and the region Gauteng, where both cities are located. The slogan of the Gauteng region literally means as much as “always keep on moving”. And it is true: Johannesburg is a multicultural city pulsating with life at any time of the day and Pretoria is the “government-city”, the centre of all political action and South Africa’s capital. If it is museums, theatres, nightlife or amusements parks that spark your interest – you will not become bored very easily in Johannesburg and Pretoria. It is not without reasons that Joburg, how locals call it, is well known as the shopping and nightlife hub of Africa. Experience the pulsating metropolis in all its colourful facets. Stroll through the posh Johannesburg suburbs Sandton and Sandhurst. You will be amazed by the pomp and luxury. Johannesburg makes for a perfect shopping-stopover on any South Africa round trip. The main attractions in Pretoria are the union buildings, modern downtown city and the reminders of the past, like the Vortrekker Monument. Joburg serves as an international airline hub. It is recommended you plan a stopover of at least two days to get to know this completely different aspect of South Africa. Additionally, Joburg is the departure point for countless excursions focusing on Johannesburg and the wider area.
