Partner Programme
1. GOLD REEF CITY
Synonymous with South Africa’s gold-mining industry is the name Johannesburg, the city that was founded back in 1886, as a miner’s village on the Witwatersrand goldfields. Today, the Gold Reef City theme park and museum – built around the original No.14 shaft of Crown Mines – recreates the city of Johannesburg as it was during the early days of the gold rush. The guided tour includes an underground visit 220 metres below the surface, a gold pour and tribal dancing, providing the visitor with an in depth look at the gold mining industry in South Africa. On arrival you will meet your private guide, who will conduct your tour through the complex at your leisure.
Closed Mondays.

2. JOHANNESBURG AND SOWETO
The tour is designed to give the visitor to Johannesburg an overall impression of ‘Egoli’, the City of Gold, South Africa’s commercial and financial capital. We take a look around the suburbs of Houghton, Parktown and Hillbrow, then on to the hustle and bustle of the downtown area which could so easily be termed the New York City of Africa. Continuing to Soweto (South Western Townships) the largest black residential area in South Africa, we see a fascinating contrast to Sandton and Rosebank to the north east. This ‘city within a city’ consists of 50 suburbs and the tour route takes us to all the major points of interest, such as Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital, Baragwanath taxi rank, Freedom Square, Hector Peterson Memorial and Nelson Mandela’s former home.

4. ELEPHANT SANCTUARY
In the early 1900s the Magaliesberg area was rich in wildlife and home to abundant elephant herds. Due to pressure from man, these herds gradually disappeared. The Elephant Sanctuary boasts stunning bushveld and riverine forested area, which is home to animal and bird species, including a number of elephant. Guests have the opportunity to get up close and personal with the elephants, touching, feeding, walking with them – an experience to remember.

The Sterkfontein Caves were discovered in 1896 by an Italian gold prospector and are now regarded as one of the worlds most important archaeological sites. The caves lie in the Sterkfontein Valley which together with some of the nearby sites, make up the recently proclaimed World Heritage Site known as the ‘Cradle of Humankind’. Dr Robert Broom of the Transvaal Museum began excavations at the cave in 1936 and in the 1947 discovered a well-preserved complete skull of a species of early man known as ‘Mrs Ples’.

7. DE WILDT CHEETAH & WILDLIFE TRUST
The Trust was established in 1971 with the aim of breeding the severely endangered cheetah.
By 2001, not only the cheetah was removed from the endangered list, but also successfully breeds other endangered species such as Wild Dog, Brown Hyena, Riverine Rabbit, Cape Vulture, suni antelope and blue duiker. The three hour tour starts with a fairly technical (but not too long) talk about what they are doing and why it is necessary and then takes guests in open safari vehicles around the areas where the animals live so they can see for themselves, take photos etc.
