While enjoying your well-earned safari through the majestic country of South Africa, many visitors have found their home away from home in the Gauteng province. Here lies the country’s economic hub the city of Johannesburg – or the ‘City of Gold’ as the early settlers called it when they first stumbled upon it. Johannesburg has developed a reputation for being a city of excellent first-class facilities, with impressive infrastructure and state-of-the-art efficiency.
When travellers are ready to leave the hustle and bustle behind of this vibrant city, there is no better retreat than charming Carlswald, a suburb of Midrand. Carlswald boasts prime real estate in Gauteng and is one of the few places visitors can have easy access to the N1 highway to Johannesburg; with its lack of congestion, this area is an attractive option for business people to use as a base. Carlswald though, is not just about the daily grind; its top attractions include the newly refurbished Carlswald Lifestyle shopping centre, which has a wide array of eateries that has put an emphasis on the outdoor dining experience. Other popular haunts include the famous Kyalami Racing Circuit, the inspiring Glen Austin Bird Sanctuary, and the Cradle of Humankind, which takes a fascinating look at uncovering mankind’s history.
Carlswald is in close proximity to much of Midrand’s popular attractions and activities, which include Vodaworld, Gallagher Estate, the Blue Valley Golf Course, and the Kyalami Exhibition and Conference Centre. The breathtaking views of the stunning Magaliesberg Mountains just to the north of Carlswald remind visitors of South Africa’s magnificent and unparalleled beauty.
