Hello explorers 😃 Join me on a 5-day adventure through one of the most beautiful parts of the world. We will be exploring Johannesburg based in the Gauteng Province and Pilanesburg and Sun City in the North-West. These are some of the most exciting and diverse destinations in South Africa, and I am sure you will have an unforgettable time here. Johannesburg, also known as the City of Gold, is a vibrant metropolis that offers a unique blend of culture, history, and modernity. From the famous Apartheid Museum to the sprawling shopping centers, Johannesburg has something for everyone. We will be visiting the apartheid museum, taking a bicycle tour in Soweto, dancing at a rooftop bar at Maboneng and enjoying Nelson Mandela Square in the heart of Sandton. Pilanesberg is a nature lover's paradise, boasting over 55,000 hectares of pristine wilderness. The Pilanesberg National Park is home to the Big Five (lion, elephant, leopard, buffalo, and rhino) as well as countless other species of animals and birds. Be sure to bring your camera and capture some of the breathtaking landscapes and wildlife that make Pilanesberg such a special place. On our way up to the Pilanesberg we will make a stop at the Elephant sanctuary where you get up close and personal with these incredible animals. Sun City is a world-renowned resort that offers a truly unique experience. From the luxurious hotels to the thrilling water parks and casinos. Sun City is a destination that caters to all tastes and interests. Don't miss out on the chance to visit the Valley of Waves. I'm looking for 2-3 intrepid travelers who want to experience a part of South Africa that does not get enough credit. We'll travel in a car to all our view points. Who am I? My name is Rose, and I'll be your tour guide, driver, motivator and sing along buddy, wingman, plus hopefully a good friend during and after the trip. My father is South African and my mom is Swiss. I have grown up in Johannesburg my whole life but have had the opportunity to travelling and working overseas the last six years. When I am not travelling, I run a florist and gifting company while doing events. I love wildlife and am a qualified game ranger. The bush had my heart and I hope to share my passion with you. I'm looking for outgoing and adventurous people who are not afraid to get a little dirty here and there and live for telling a good story at the end of it all. Couples are welcome, and we would book accommodations accordingly. What's included in the price? - All accommodation is included, from a cute and cosy BnB in the heart of Sandton, Johannesburg, to two nights at 4-star Bakubung Game Lodge. The scope of our accommodation lies on authenticity and the overall experience. - All Transport is included in the Trip What is not included? - Park entry fees, game drives and other activities - Alcohol and restaurants - All other activities can be arranged and are to be paid individually There are loads of opportunities for bush walks, game drives, Valley of the waves, elephant sanctuary experience, hot air balloons and many more activities which can also be enjoyed in spectacular scenery.

Once we have done some shopping at in piazza, we will head over to one of the biggest African Markets in Johannesburg, which is based in Rosebank. In the evening, we will head off to a night market in Maboneng. Maboneng, is a seSotho word meaning “place of light”, a fitting name for a district that has almost become a centre of creative energy for Johannesburg’s urban artists. This magical urban neighbourhood is the centre of creative energy with a mix of restaurants, coffee shops, clothing boutiques, art galleries, retail and studio space. The precinct draws the inner-city public as well as the chic, art-going crowd of the city’s suburbs, bringing life back to this downtown Johannesburg neighbourhood. We will enjoy local flavours at the market and dance at a rooftop bar.
