Johannesburg is South
Africa's City of Gold - known affectionately as Jozi,
this city is the gateway to South Africa's northern
provinces and Southern Africa. From this traveller's hub
you can depart to the provinces of North West, Limpopo,
Mpumalanga and Free State where you can experience some of the most beautiful nature reserves in the
world, from Kruger National Park to the Cradle of
Humankind, the Pilanesberg and Madikwe or the fantasy-filled Sun City & Lost City.
However Johannesburg is
also the gateway to Southern Africa's countries of
Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Tanzania, Mozambique and
Malawi. This is a region of stark contrasts, beauty and
wildlife. But while many may visit here for a wildlife
experience this is also Southern Africa's economic hub
with conference venues and business breakaways across
the region. |

Johannesburg is South Africa's
meeting and conventions capital. It is here where
people come to meet and discuss, and
food is an integral part of this affair. The food
here is a reflection of the cosmopolitan nature of the city - something

of wilderness reserves where the cuisine can be enjoyed under the
stars with the sound of wild animals in the background and a glass
of South Africa's famous wine in hand.

visitors are spoilt for choice with a wide variety of rich seafood
