We had a lovely time at the Johannesburg zoo. The zoo is very green, lush and spacious and has a great diversity of animals. it’s a very nice environment to stroll around and learn about the different animals.

Apartheid Museum

avatar
小鱼儿2015
A very beautiful and nice museum in South Africa. You can also see quite a lot of things in the Apartheid Museum. The entire museum is also a very large facility, and there are many tourists visiting here.

Johannesburg Botanical Gardens

avatar
Lavender and Sun
Johannesburg Botanical Garden in South Africa was built on the basis of the government's decision in 1969 to build the park. At that time, the overall plant planting design of the entire park was based on 42 trees as skeletons, and other plants were planted according to ecological habits and ornamental characteristics.

FNB Stadium

avatar
路中寒梅
It is a very beautiful stadium with a very special exterior design and color. Unfortunately, the utilization rate is very low. The stadium can only be visited from the outside and there is no chance to go in. We only had a few minutes to stay here with the tour group.

Carlton Centre

avatar
DEAR张小球
Our group is staying at the hotel in Carlton, which is also one of the more advanced hotels in Johannesburg. The surrounding area is a local business district, relatively prosperous, and the restaurant is also very convenient to eat more.

Community Correctional Department

avatar
莫扎扎315
According to the tour guide, Mandela was imprisoned in Pretoria Prison on October 15, 1962. There, Mandela was held in solitary confinement for 23 hours a day in order to fight for his own interests, with only half an hour of activity time in the morning and afternoon. Arrive in Johannesburg by plane or train, and take a bus or taxi in the city to Pretoria Prison.

Constitution Hill Human Rights Precinct

avatar
DEAR张小球
Constitution Hill is a place with a particularly beautiful natural scenery. Up to the Constitution Hill, you can enjoy the very beautiful scenery of Johannesburg. Because it is called Constitution Hill, it is also because it can visit a place in the history of serfs in South Africa.
