Gold Reef City
Just as diamonds played a crucial role in the history of Kimberley, the city of Johannesburg owes its existence to the discovery of gold in the 1880s.
One of the best places for your clients to explore this history is a visit to Gold Reef City, which offers an experience beyond simply being a theme park.
Here your clients can book a heritage tour and learn about Jozi’s Story of Gold (Jozi is a nickname for Johannesburg). This includes an underground mine tour, gold panning and witnessing the pouring of a gold bar, an experience not to be missed.
Five two-hour tours a day take place from Wednesdays through Sundays (except on public holidays and Christmas Day).
Your clients might also wish to partake in some of the other entertainment on offer at Gold Reef City, including a casino and the theme-park rides.
For a more sobering look into South Africa’s past, a visit to the nearby Apartheid Museum is essential.
