About This Route
Experience Johannesburg
Johannesburg, often affectionately called Jo'burg or Jozi, stands as a beacon of South Africa's post-apartheid renaissance, a city built on the gold mines that once formed its foundation. Today, it's a vibrant metropolis, rich in history and culture, pulsating with life and energy. Silk Travels invites you to explore the city's diverse neighborhoods, each with its own character, from the trendy streets of Maboneng, known for its art galleries, boutiques, and restaurants, to the historic Soweto, the heart of the anti-apartheid movement. Johannesburg's Apartheid Museum and Constitution Hill offer profound insights into South Africa's turbulent past, while the city's thriving arts scene and green spaces like the Johannesburg Botanical Garden reflect its bright future.
