Johannesburg is the biggest city in South Africa, and a thrilling metropolis. Johannesburg has new restaurants, galleries and trendy bars popping up at an incredible speed, and offers visitors a truly vibrant arts scene. And not far from the city, you can explore why the region has been named the 'Cradle of Humanity', at the Sterkfontein Caves, which showcases important ancient fossils and boasts deep underground lakes.
