It is a metropolitan city with great weather and loads of places to see and visit. From sports to opera’s Johannesburg has it all. Find world famous wines and wildlife and culture at every turn.

The Witwatersrand is a small range of sedimentary hills which is usually overlooked until you delve into the rocks to discover that over 40% of the World’s gold comes from these hills. The hills themselves are geologically complex, containing a mixture of rock types including shales and conglomerates.

A great holiday offer from Sunshine;
