More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step through the automatic doors of O.R. Tambo into a humid Johannesburg morning; the driver waits, name card in hand, and the city begins to unfold as asphalt and skyline. The route to Sandton threads through suburbia, climbing the gentle ridge of the Witwatersrand where the gold rush first drew prospectors in 1886, and where modern glass towers now signal the financial pulse of Gauteng.
