Exploring Johannesburg During Our 24hrs Layover

The best thing when travelling is when you are able to have an extended layover in a city you have never been before and this is exactly what we did during our journey from Nairobi Kenya to Windhoek, Namibia. This time, we stopped for almost 24hrs in Johannesburg South Africa.

Because of our limited time in town, we decided to jump on the hop on hop off sightseeing bus to see the most things possible in Johannesburg in the shortest amount of time. And even though we normally stay away of these very touristy type activities, they do have their place and this was the perfect example.

If you are looking for a great and affordable place to stay in Johannesburg, Check out CAG The Vantage. They have hotel style rooms and also fully equipped apartments but the best part is truly their location in the middle of Rosebank. By walking less than 2 minutes, you have access to tons of restaurants, stores, bars, activities and even a mall.

Overall, I really fun 24hrs in Johannesburg. See you in Namibia!

Gold Reef City is awesome, but I would recommend going in winter, as during the warmer months, dozens and dozens of school busses arrive and so you will be waiting in queues for 30-60 minutes a ride. During winter, you can go on a ride, walk around and get right back on again. There are only 2 water rides, so you won't be missing anything, and most of the days are pretty warm anyway. In the evening, you can catch the shuttle to the casino across the road.

I'm from SA, so I hope you enjoyed my country

[gertywilson]

[kinyuabonface]

Joburg the city of gold. Such a nice city

[mtndrone]

Super nice video. South Africa is where my roots belong 🇿🇦 after 🇰🇪

[jairoombasa]

The production value in your videos 🙌🏾 always nice to watch

[sykewtf]

nice vid guys looking forward to the next one! Melrose Arch is one of many developments in Joburg next time yall visit go to Waterfall City, the amount of wealth in Johannesburg is insane if it were a country it would be the 4th largest economy in Africa after Nigeria, Egypt and South Africa.

You guys could’ve taken the train from the airport straight to that area where you were eating (ROSEBANK)

[DidiMuseri]

OMG💃💃 I got excited when I saw you were Filming in my Home City🇿🇦😍 Rosebank😍I trust you enjoyed your 24 Hours in Joburg. Plus you went to Fugazzi, their Sourdough pizza is Amazing😍

[vukhetamashimbye]

When you come back to SOUTH AFRICA 🇿🇦 you can see animals not on cages just walking in forest in kruger National in Limpopo which is one of the province in SOUTH AFRICA

Johannesburg is stunning, the South African landscape is on another level. Random challenge, next time you're in a foreign city, please try a unique pizza ☺☺☺.

[anitascarr]

Cool..I’ll be in Jo’burg next week and staying in Rosebank for a couple nights. I’ll be hitting up that pizza place for sure!

[vtechk]

I'll have a 14hrs layover in Joburg this summer, so every video like this is helpful. Thank you!

[benburns]

Wow, that is an awesome apartment with 2 bedrooms for only $103.00 US dollars. Looking forward to your next adventure and video.

[Captzax]

Most developed country in Africa hands down! Also, very progressive

Some South Africans and bashing of their own country🙄. May we learn to speak well of our land. In some countries, citizens hides all the ills and present the better parts. We cannot afford to give on our own land, more especially on the contents, by the tourists, which are focused on all things beautiful and appealing. In most crime ridden places, criminals are thriving because the community members are not working together to rid themselves of crime, through communication channels for instance. I live in an environment where we communicate with each other on daily basis on a community WhatsApp group and our kids walk around with cellphones and whatever they can handle without a fear of getting mugged. My community is surrounding by townships, but community members in our area had to find a way of working together. My biggest worry is that outsiders see good and all some of our people see is doom and gloom and they do not shy away from voicing it, even when it is unnecessary to do so. I always say that South Africa depends on where you are located, because we are all not experiencing the same things as a result. There are bad communities, yes, however as long as they are not featured on this type of content, it becomes unnecessary to bring their mayhem forward. When the content shows the bad side, then yeah, speak ill. When the content showcases development and greatness, enjoy and celebrate. Otherwise most of our people must try "Shot Left" and tour their own towns and cities. Tour, not drive to a mall or to buy or collect something, but sightseeing. Believe me you gonna enjoy it and see Mzansi differently. I do that a lot with my kids. I would sometimes, just leave a house and go for a walk around other unknown parts of our community, far from our house. Kids enjoy this a lot.

This couple is in Rosebank and somebody wants to talk about Jozi CBD because that's their type of Joburg that they know and are used to. Anything nice about Joburg, they are mostly either not exposed to or they go past and never experienced it. Or maybe it is the legacy of apartheid as most would claim. Otherwise may we mostly learn to speak well about our country as well as to co tribute to safety and protection of our environments, irrespective of where we reside in this lovely country of ours.

To the couple, thank very much for showing the beauty of Joburg and many other places on the continent👌. Much appreciated😍🤞.

Ka👊!
