Why is Johannesburg situated where it is? No water, rocky hills - its an odd place for a thriving city. This tour looks at its colourful history and its development from a gold mining camp to the financial powerhouse of Africa. We travel through the suburbs, rich and poor, old and new, following the stories of this city. The story of a farmer with compassion, and the legacy he left this city, and a nature reserve protecting sites more than 800 years old, and the stories they have told. We look at the mine shaft that started it all and visits the financial heart of the city. We can go to the top of the Carlton for a bird's-eye view of the city and its many landmarks. Mary Fitzgerald Square, with MuseumAfrica, the Workers Museum and Library is visited. From ancient to modern, Johannesburg has it all.
-We drive through the suburbs discussing the history of the city, from the forces that formed the land, to the people that moulded it to their needs. - We pass a dam built by hand in order to earn a future, the oldest house in Johannesburg, Melville and on to the site of the first gold strike at George Harrison Park. - Into the city to Mary Fitzgerald Square and MuseumAfrica in Newtown - Past Chancellor House and the small outdoor museum - Down Diagonal street to the Main Street Mining Mall. - Past City Hall and through the old shopping district to the Carlton Centre. This itinerary is flexible, and I can change it on the day depending on your interests. If time allows, a visit to a museum of your choice can be fitted in.
