Activities, Excursions of Johannesburg (South Africa).

South-Africa is an unusual country for many reasons. It is a large country with different groups of people where 100 languages are spoken. For many years the small minority of whites ruled the country, owned the land and spoke their own language: Afrikaans. This variety explains the flag, a rainbow representing everyone.

South-Africa is one of the economic powerhouses of Africa and offers a lot of nature (safaris). It is rich because of its people and its resources (e.g. mining). Located between two oceans opens up a lot of new sea-opportunities like diving with sharks.

Johannesburg is the largest city and economic heart of South-Africa. People are starting to make it a "friendlier" city, away from the bad name of robbers and thieves. You still need to be careful, but a city tour to see the old and new Joburg is certainly worthwhile. Buying diamants? De Beers has its HQ here. Politics? Visit So-We-To (South-West Township) where Nelson Mandela lived.
