I had an opportunity to visit Johannesburg City in South Africa. It had always been my dream and finally my dream came true. I booked a plane from the international airport to the magnificent airport or at a turbo international airport. One thing that I liked about Johannesburg City is the efficient public transport. The public transport is very reliable and you can’t compare it to the type of public transport that we have in Nairobi. Most of the time you get caught up on jam and you waste a lot of time but unlike Nairobi South Africa, their public transport is well managed. Even they are very comfortable metals. We will take you anywhere you want to go around the city. Johannesburg is a really stunning city. The magnificent view of the skycrab paths. It’s also a historical country. I think the most memorable sight is the Nelson Mandela Square where you get to learn a lot of history about their founding president. Also there is a museum specifically dedicated to learning about the history. Another place that I would recommend visitors to go is the Soweto which is an informal settlement. It’s a nice place. The people there are friendly. You get to watch traditional dancers. Something else that is really memorable is the hospitality of the people of that city. Everybody there is friendly and lively. Also the city gets lively at night. There are all those pubs with lively people.
