Gold Reef City is home to an amazing heritage of South Africa and it’s Gold mining history. If you are looking for something to do in Johannesburg and you love having fun, then Gold Reef should be on the top of your list!! I live in Durban and unfortunately we don’t have much of a Theme Park to boast about, so when i visit Joburg i make a point of visiting Gold Reef for it’s awesome rollercoasters and scary rides!! Gold Reef caters for anyone and everyone who loves an adventure…you can choose to explore the history behind it all, or just go for the fun rides. I LOVE the Golden Loop, Miner’s Revenge and Anaconda. I am yet to try the Tower of Terror, which apparently IS TERRIFYING!! There are over 30 rides to choose from!! If you are looking to stay over a couple of nights, you can choose to stay in the Protea Hotel or the Casino Hotel. (Yes, there’s a Casino at Gold Reef too…)
If you have children (or not), you can make your way to the circuis and enjoy the funny clowns and the awesome tricks on show. When walking through the CITY at GOLD REEF, you feel as if you have traveled back in time to the mining days and everything seems so real…i absolutely love the place, because i love history! I still have to go on the underground mine tour one day, because GOLD REEF is so big, that it is impossible to see and experience all it has to offer in one visit. You just HAVE to see the place!! -

This place is TOP NOTCH!!!!
If you’re looking for a place to chill and eat the best African Food, then Moyo is the place to be!!! There are many other Moyo’s around South Africa, but i LOVE the one at Zoo Lake!!
You can sit outside on the grass or go on a mini boat ride down the Lake. When you start getting hungry, you grab a seat in the restaurant, on the deck or outside under the umbrellas. The deck is my favorite..you get to sit on big comfy couches whilst listening to relaxing african music and getting your face painted by the friendly African Ladies. When your meal is done and you’re extra full, you get to lay down on the couch and watch the sunset…no rush!! (unless the place is hired out for an event). I usually wait till rush hour traffic is over and then i make my way home. Downstairs you can buy some authentic african goodies, like jewelry or ART. I will ALWAYS return to MOYO for the best food and the best experience!!
