Johannesburg, City of Gold

Johannesburg, Joburg, Jozi, Egoli. The City of Gold.

Johannesburg was established in 1886 following the discovery of gold, and is a city with the largest man-made forest, making it one of the ‘greenest’ cities in the world.

Traditionally the city is not known as a tourist destination, and one can understand why when comparing it to some other South African gems, e.g. Cape Town, Durban, the Kruger National Park and the Drakensberg to name but a few. I have lived in Johannesburg for almost my whole life, and I love it here! I’m passionate about exploring new places, admiring the beautiful views and city sunsets, experiencing some of the different cultures on offer… and then sharing the photos / reviews / ratings with the rest of the world. I hope a few of my contributions will help convince a few travellers to perhaps stay a night or two in my beautiful city rather than just passing through.
