Kempton park
The province of Gauteng may be the smallest of South Africa’s nine provinces, but its electric atmosphere and constant energy make it a top tourist destination for many travellers. At the focal point of the province is Johannesburg; dubbed the ‘City of Gold’ during the gold rush of the 1880s, Johannesburg continues to entice visitors to her city with a diverse and endless array of fun and exciting attractions.
Johannesburg has an amazing location, with travellers able to link up with the nation’s capital Pretoria in the north and other major South African attractions including the iconic Kruger National Park, Sun City, and the city of Durban, which is just 5 hours away by car. The main attractions in the city include the gaming haven of the Montecasino complex and Coca Cola Park, which hosted the legendary 1995 rugby world cup final and saw a broken nation start to heal the wounds of the past. Situated on the East Rand of Gauteng is the thriving town of Kempton Park; its enviable location has it just minutes away from the city’s international airport OR Tambo and it is known throughout the province as having many excellent first-class amenities.
Kempton Park is home to five major high schools and has a massive industrial zone known as Spartan, which houses many chemical and industrial sites. Kempton park plays hosts to a diverse range of events throughout the year with the pick of the bunch including the Living and Loving Kids’ and Baby Expo, and the Vodacom Jazz Festival, while popular attractions in the nearby surrounds include the Kempton Park Golf Course and the mega East Rand shopping centre.
