GAUTENG TOURS
The Gauteng tours cover a wide range of subjects, people and physical areas of the region.
The main tours include Johannesburg, Soweto, Cradle of Humankind and Pretoria.
We will also create completely customised tours. All of the tours are full day tours.
We always cover the core information about Johannesburg and the surrounding region - and more besides.Gauteng is a place remarkable in its diversity both in its very ancient past and especially the last two hundred years. Such is the enormous range of the subject it has the potential for endless exploration. However, as a visitor, one wants to get a good idea of it without too much detail, nor does one want to miss anything.
With this in mind, we try to offer guests a tour that covers the important information and then build on it from the view that it is interesting and exciting to live here, the details of which are a combination of your own interests and questions and our desire to show the magic that is Gauteng. We have a remarkable history, fascinating areas in and around Joburg and perhaps best of all is the people, their creativity and energy. We will go into the city, talk about gold and its extraction, talk about politics and migrant labour, look at settlement patterns and the layout of the suburbs, the landscape, points of conflict and points of interest over the whole modern era. We will talk about the environment and conservation and about how all this may determine our future growth.
This outline is for your interest and does not constitute an itinerary. It serves to illustrate that our tours are are based on extensive research as well as personal experience, and are not generalised. The area is rich in natural beauty, geological resources and from a human perspective is extraordinarily complex and interesting.
