Stop At: Top of Africa, Main Street near Krus Street top of the 50-story Carlton Centre, Johannesburg South Africa

LOCATED ON THE 50TH FLOOR of Johannesburg’s Carlton Centre, the Top of Africa viewing deck allows visitors to take in the city’s unique geographic features.

What was once a part of a bustling luxury hotel, the towering observation deck looks out over the urban sprawl all around and more than a few features stick out. The most evident feature is the abundance of trees in the city which, at over a million in the surrounding area, makes it the world’s largest urban forest. Another notable feature is the complete lack of large bodies of water. Johannesburg is the only city of its massive size in the world that is not located near a major source of water. The Carlton is the tallest building in Africa, and at one point was the tallest in all of the southern hemisphere, seeing to it that the Top of Africa observation deck lives up to its name.

Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: Market Theatre, 56 Margaret Mcingana St, Johannesburg 2001 South Africa

The Market Theatre, based in the downtown bohemian suburb of Newtown in Johannesburg, South Africa, was opened in 1976, operating as an independently, anti-racist theatre during the country's apartheid regime. It was named after a fruit and vegetable market that was previously located there

We spent a lovely time with Sean, visiting the downtown of Joburg with some extra activities like eating some specialities and taking a local taxi. We were only two with our guide which made the tour even more special. Thank you Sean!

I'm thrilled I joined this tour! Sean, our guide, is truly exceptional as both a guide and an individual. His professionalism, deep knowledge, and engaging style really set him apart. In under 2 hours, he beautifully shared SA and Joburg's history, infusing his narrative with humor. This tour is a must to grasp the heart of Joburg and SA's culture. I wholeheartedly recommend it – and it's free! Kudos to Sean for an unforgettable experience. Thanks a ton!
