Johannesburg - South Africa

Johannesburg is situated a mere 50 Kilometres from Pretoria and is the largest and heavily populated city in the whole of South Africa, and one of the largest metropolitan areas in the world! Johannesburg encompasses an area of 635 square miles and includes houses over 8 million people including those living in the Soweto, one of the most famous, some may say infamous, townships in South Africa. Gold and diamonds are a focal point of the business life of Johannesburg and the busy airport is often the gateway for visitors arriving from afar. Johannesburg's turbulent history and massively varied populace make for a city unlike any other in the world.
