About Johannesburg

Johannesburg is South Africa's dynamic economic heart, a city of powerful history, vibrant townships and art, where many safari journeys begin.

The Apartheid Museum tells the story of segregation and resistance with great power, and Constitution Hill, a former prison where both Nelson Mandela and Mahatma Gandhi were held, is home to the Constitutional Court. In Soweto, Vilakazi Street is famous as the street where two Nobel Peace Prize laureates, Mandela and Desmond Tutu, once lived, and the Hector Pieterson Memorial recalls the student uprising of 1976.
