Flights to Johannesburg

As the capital to South Africa 's province of Gauteng, Johannesburg continues to grow, proving to be the true economic backbone of Africa. The surrounding suburbs have come to be as impressive and out reaching as the skyscrapers are tall and eye catching. With almost 11 million residents, it's no wonder this city continues to thrive and grow.

This ‘place of gold', the meaning behind Johannesburg 's African name of, Egoli, was found to have riches hidden amidst the White Water Reef.

After gold was found at the end of the 19th century, Johannesburg took only a decade to explode into the big and bustling city. Indisputably the biggest city in South Africa, it continues to grow, sprawl and develop.

There's something to please every taste, preference and desire in this city of modern riches and run down buildings. The suburbs to the north of the city attract the rich with expansive homes, while Soweto, on the south side of the city, is crowded with small shacks that bear proof of the difficulties for many of the city's workers. These extremes have brought a higher crime rate to the city, which in turn has brought about heavily fortified security to the affluent neighbourhoods.

Johannesburg 's greets its visitor by way of the city's International Airport. Many of the travellers to this part of Africa come to explore the many game reserves of Mpumalange.
