About Johannesburg:
|
Johannesburg in South Africa is a great place to head to for the big city culture, shopping, dining and nightlife with outdoor adventures, up-close wildlife encounters and visits to historical sites. A visit around the city offers various museums, spanning art, history, science and apartheid. Johannesburg, Jo'burg, J'burg or Jozi is constantly evolving, as this eclectic city pulsates to a heady beat of social extremes and hospitable charm. The population diversity in Jo'burg still manages to present an authentic cultural experience, reflecting South Africa's hegemonic stance.
Johannesburg is kind of a mouthful to say, it’s a long name, so surprisingly it has a lot of little nicknames such as Jo’burg, Joeys, Jozy, iGoli which means “place of gold; "city of lights”, etc. Something surprising and delightful about Johannesburg is that regarding the eco system Johannesburg is really a very green city. It has got all kind of trees everywhere. There are more than 6 million trees and nearly 2,500 parks in Johannesburg. Johannesburg is the largest man made forest on earth.
It's easy to find guest houses and hotels in Johannesburg. Also within easy reach are caves, animal sanctuaries and nature reserves, local traditional villages, operational gold and diamond mines, and the Cradle of Humankind, where the remains of Australopithecus, an early human, were discovered. Johannesburg is 1,402km (869 miles) North East of Cape Town; Pretoria is 58km (36 miles) North of Johannesburg.
