Day coach tours allow you to discover the hidden wonders of Johannesburg and surrounds
Johannesburg is the economical capital of South Africa, and the truth be told, of Africa. It is a hub of business activity where people are rushing from one meeting to the next, deals are struck and fortunes are made. In this incredible hustle and bustle, people tend to forget about all the charm hidden in the city and surrounds. It is, so to speak, a goldmine for the tourist who is willing to delve a little deeper. There is a rather simple way of discovering these gems – by taking advantage of the numerous day coach tours on offer that are designed to show of the more eccentric and fun side of this seemingly serious city and its rich surroundings.
Discover the vibrant spirit that makes Johannesburg the unique city that it is with day coach tours that take you through the bustling neighbourhoods of Hillbrow and Sandton, and pay visits to places such as the Carlton Tower – the tallest building in Africa, and Constitution Hill, built on the Old Fort Prison, where both Nelson Mandela and Ghandi were incarcerated.
Visit the homes of Nelson Mandela and Archbishop Desmond Tutu, the Hector Peterson Memorial and Freedom Square, amongst other sites of significance in Soweto, also known as ‘the birthplace of the struggle'.
Right next to Johannesburg lays Pretoria, the capital of South Africa. This city has a rich heritage and day coach tours will take you to the major monuments, such as the impressive Voortrekker Monument. The Union Building is also a definite must-see.
The Lesedi Cultural Village features traditional dwellings, each representing a South African culture, while a tour to the Cradle of Humankind will show you where human life as we know it started. Day coach tours to the Lion Safari Park and De Wildt Centre are also available where you can see animals such as lions, cheetahs, black leopards, jackals, wildebeest, giraffes, wild dogs and a variety of other species in their natural habitat.
