Wildlife Safari Tours from Johannesburg
Exploring South Africa's national parks and taking a wildlife safari are both easily accessible activities from Johannesburg. Here are your options.
A visit to Museum Africa offers an excellent introduction into all things South Africa—culture, history, geology, politics, and art. As one of Newtown’s most popular attractions, the museum features in just about every sightseeing tour of Johannesburg, along with other top sights like Nelson Mandela’s former home, the Carlton Centre observation deck, Constitution Hill, and a traditional African medicine market.
*Museum Africa is a must-visit for history buffs, budget travelers, and first-time visitors to Johannesburg. *Museum admission is free, though the Workers’ Museum charges admission. *The museum is accessible to wheelchair users.
Museum Africa is centrally located in Newtown, right at the edge of the business district. The easiest way to get there is by taxi or public bus.
Museum Africa is open Tuesday to Sunday from 9am to 5pm. Plan to visit early in your trip to get an introduction to South Africa before you begin your explorations.
