Parks & Nature
Wonderful, safe, vibrant park in the centre of the city. A local artist has led an effort to make this park a great attraction. Wrought-iron, brightly coloured South African animals are everywhere. https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g312578-d14079766-Reviews-The_Wilds-Johannesburg_Greater_Johannesburg_Gauteng.html

Drinks & Nightlife
An outdoor bar in Maboneng. One of a kind and right around the corner. You can see (and hear) it from the flat. Big, boisterous, loud, with great music and a friendly local crowd. Safe, but as in any crowded place anywhere on earth, there are pickpockets, so watch your phone.
