Upon arrival at O.R Tambo International Airport (Johannesburg), transfer to hotel. Embark on your drive-by tour of Johannesburg, South Africa's largest city remains its financial and commercial heart. It's in this fast-paced metropolis that the country's radical political and social transformation is most evident - this is the 'Rainbow Nation' at work. It's a heady experience, with contrasts of every kind around every single corner. Our tour sets off for Constitution Hill, home of South Africa's architectural marvel, the Constitutional Court and site of Johannesburg's Old Fort Prison (closed Sundays). We meander through the newly renovated, quaint and quirky suburb of Melville with its vibey shops and trendy restaurants, and past Newtown Market, home of Johannesburg Market Theatre. We continue the drive past Museum Africa, Johannesburg's premier cultural history museum, reminiscent of a 1950's shebeen or pub, and it's here you'll really sense the soul of the inner city. We return to your hotel via the flipside of the coin, the lush, upmarket suburb of lower Houghton. A city of contrasts, that's for certain. Return to your hotel and enjoy dinner at an Indian restaurant at the hotel’s casino and entertainment complex.
