Despite the perceptions of Johannesburg having a high crime rate, it is no worse than many other cities and has a lot to offer visitors.

It has a superb climate, excellent infrastructure, world class hotels, superb restaurants and shopping, fascinating museums, and a real vibrance.

It's close to the 'veld' and an excellent base from which to reach the Lowveld game reserves and scenery, and it's Africa's biggest and best transportation hub.
