Johannesburg is a large and dynamic South African city with a rich history and a special atmosphere of a large city and a gateway to the wild. Traces of the industrial past, revolutionary pages of the XX century and modern cultural development intersect here; the city impresses with contrasts and hospitality, and its inhabitants create a lively and relaxed atmosphere for the traveler.
Among the man-made landmarks are monuments and memorials dedicated to the history of the struggle for freedom, including the monument to Nelson Mandela, as well as educational and cultural centers such as the University of Pretoria and city museums.

The region is also home to the Golden Gate Highlands, the picturesque Blade River Canyon about thirty kilometers long and the grand Drakensberg Range with its caves.
