We travelled to Johannesburg in November 2007 specifically to attend a friends wedding. We stayed in the eastern suburb of Edenvale, which is 10-15 minutes drive from the airport. We didn't venture into central Jo'burg at all, and the only touristy thing we did was visit the Lion Park. First impressions of Jo'burg were not favourable. After the usual issue at the airport with people wanting to be paid to direct us to the car hire desk, we arrived at our B&B where the owners dog promptly bit Alex on the hand. At least a nice medical centre was close by and, tetanus shot and antibiotics later, we were all set :-/ We did manage to spend some quality time with our friends and their families, not to mention eat some decent food, and drink some very tasty wine - so all was not lost! |

As long as you keep it to yourself I will share this with you. God made ice cream as a reward t Himself. Mankind stole the secret from coyote, who got it from bear. Eating ice cream, therefore, adds days to your life. | junecorlett Wed Apr 22, 2009 10:51 UTC
Yes, Ocean Basket is very good value for money. I am sorry you had to experience some of the not so good acommodations, as SA has excellent hotels, | angiebabe Sat Dec 20, 2008 18:30 UTC
Interesting tips- beautiful lion shots-and at least we can get a laugh at some things that were a real pain at the time! | canuck68 Sun Oct 5, 2008 01:53 UTC
Sue I was very interested in your comments as I am staying with friends in Edenvale this December. Your restaurant tips were helpful as I would be taking them out for a meal or two. Diane |
