Advantages: Vibrant, plenty to do, fantastic people Disadvantages: crime
I had the opportunity of visiting Johannesburg in a very different light in January of this year, as a tourist. For you see I was born and raised there, but my boyfriend is very much English and had never been to Africa. When you are born somewhere you tend to disregard alot of the tourist stuff (much what my boyfriend does in London) which I can now see I missed out.
Johannesburg is a thriving bustling city with its great history, and vibrant people it is very captivating, and holds you in its grips long after you have left.
Yes there is a safety aspect to life in Johannesburg, but so is there to most places you go too, and generally if you hold your wits about you and be smart for the most you will be fine and shouldn't come across anything too big (although this is not a guarantee). I know how off putting it can be when you ...

Advantages: Bustling hubbub of a city Disadvantages: Could be limited in activites
Safety is always one of the major aspects of any tourist visiting Johannesburg. Like any major city there are the dangerous areas but in the case there are more than other major cities. Tourists will be very safe if they stay on well troden paths and do not decided to walk anywhere alone at night. A major factor of the crime there is that it is conducted on locals and tourists are generally pretty well protected (the are instances though). If you have limited time in South Africa Johannesburg has little to offer in terms of the beauty and activites that the rest of the country is reknown for. This is a tourist stop of place generally, a trip to Sun City is a definite must if you have time to burn. ...

Advantages: Bunnys!!!! Disadvantages: Having to leave
This is an afternoon to relax let the children run around and play with the animals.
There are many types of bunny parks, these are like the parks in England but they breed rabbits, birds and sometimes have other types of animals.
The one that i visited alot when in a town on the outskirts of Johannesburg called Boxburgs. The main feature of this park was a historical train. There must of been 1000s of bunnys there and you can just see how much children love them with the smiles on there faces.
This is a great place for taking photos.
Toilet blocks and braii (bbq) facilities
No one will know what you are talking about it you ask where the bbq stands are
free entry sometimes donations asked to keep the park running.
normally 9-6 everyday and a market on the sunday
i only say poor transport as there public transport is alot ...
