Cities

The cities of east and southern Africa provide a wealth of experiences for travellers with each having some unique aspects and all having a choice of attractions for visitors.

Johannesburg is the stepping off point for Australians visiting South Africa and its neighbours like Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Botswana and Namibia. There's a choice of first class accommodation at the international airport and at shopping and business centres like Sandton. For those with the time to explore the city there are organised tours of infamous SOWETO, the Gold Reef City theme park and the Cradle of Humankind just north west of the city where notable finds like Mrs. Ples and Big Foot go back 3.5-million years.
