Meredale
Gauteng is officially South Africa’s smallest province, but it is also undoubtedly its commercial and economic hub. This landlocked region has become prominent since the fall of Apartheid in 1994 drawing endless scores of curious travellers eager to sample the finest Africa has to offer. At the heart of Gauteng is its ‘City of Gold’ Johannesburg, which is a true African city of note. Blended with an irresistible combination of influences, Jozi is vibrant, electric, and colourful.
Top attractions in the city are endless and diverse with every taste catered for and it also boasts a central location as well as a magnificent international airport that has access to most major ports throughout the continent and country. Johannesburg is a mere 40 minutes from the nation’s capital in Pretoria and just 5 hours by car to another famous South African city of Durban in KZN. Meredale is not well-known outside of Gauteng, but it is blessed with a bit of everything – from its location to its picturesque surroundings, this charming suburb retains its privacy while exuding the passion Johannesburg is renowned for.
Meredale puts visitors within 10 minutes of the CBD, which has once again become a tourist option after years of decline; thanks to the Newtown Cultural project, Jozi’s CBD is undergoing a revolutionary change with its revamping and upgrading of the old Market theatre and its surrounds. For those who love nature, they will be pleased to discover that Meredale is just 2 minutes from the beautiful Klipriviersberg Nature Reserve, which reinforces that South Africa is a natural paradise. Other top attractions in close proximity to explore include Gold Reef City, the Apartheid Museum, and Nasrec’s Soccer City.
