Holidaying in Johannesburg provides the perfect fusion between European comfort and African adventure, allowing you to visit game reserves during the day and have fabulous dining experiences at night and enjoying cheap flights Johannesburg to London. During the day, visit The Lion Park, which provides only gates between the herbivorous and the carnivorous animals, not between you and the animals, so giraffes stop traffic and you can get within a few feet of lions. The lion feedings are on Sundays, allowing you to witness true African adventure up close and personal. Before you leave, make sure that you pet a lion cub (included with your admission).

For an African feast, go to Moyo Zoo Lake on Sundays. While there are other Moyo locations, Zoo Lake is by far the top experience, providing a buffet on the lake with African music and face-painting, a blend between Africana and urban chic. Complete your Sunday by visiting the dayclub and nightclub Nicci Beach, which has a great vibe on Sunday afternoons to enjoy drinks while lounging and watching the talented go-go dancers. Nicci Beach is a wonderful place for the ultra-trendy; however, leave before it gets dark, as the vibe segues from lounge to overwhelming nightclub.
Other great activities Johannesburg offers are: picnicking at Emmarentia Dam, gambling, dining or drinking at Emperor’s Palace Casino and Hotel, eating at Bedford Shopping Center (try ostrich steak at Rich), eating at Nelson Mandela Square (try Wangthai or The Butcher Shop & Grill), shopping at Oriental Plaza, having a sundowner at The Westcliff, or going to the upscale shops, cafes, and restaurants of Melrose Arch.  Read more...
