Walter Sisulu National Botanical Garden

This is one of the most popular gardens in the province, situated west of Johannesburg, with a magnificent waterfall and resident Black Eagles. The gardens are well patronized by plant lovers, birders, the general public who come to enjoy the tea garden and those who patronize the Sunday Picnic Concerts. A ring road runs through the lush area and is an easy walk of about an hour. A telescope is set up to grant a glimpse of the eagles. The nursery sells a variety of indigenous plants, and children enjoy the vast lawn areas where people can enjoy a picnic or simply relax.

Zoo Lake

Probably the most frequented open-space area in the suburbs of Johannesburg, Zoo Lake has a restaurant, paddle-boat facilities as well as waterfowl in abundance. The restaurant is housed within buildings at the heart of the property and a bowling club lies to the right. Concerts are often hosted here and an annual, ‘Jazz at the Park' concert is becoming a recognized event. ‘Artists under the Sun' is a regular affair providing artists an opportunity to showcase their works by the lakeside. Weekends are always hectic and everyone and their dog seems to find some amusement there. No entrance fee. Dogs on leashes only. Plenty of parking.

The Johannesburg Botanical Garden

The Johannesburg Botanical Garden is an expansive green space that proves to be a respite to the local population in the busy city. Located close to Emmarentia Dam, the gardens pose great scenic potential. Apart from that a great variety of indigenous flora is also displayed in a well-organized manner. Of the different gardens inside The Shakespeare Garden and The Rose Garden attract most number of visitors. The large lawn area is used by local joggers and picnickers, and there might be an occasional concert as well.

Liliesleaf

Liliesleaf is the site where members of the African National Congress revolted against the oppressive apartheid rule and plotted to bring down the despotic empire, which then led to the Rivonia Trial. Now converted into a history museum, Liliesleaf showcases the eventful past of the tribal land and the various hardships its revolutionaries faced in a bid to eradicate racism from the country. The farm's several rooms as well as outhouses are home to a wide collection of some riveting objects which provide a glimpse into the life and times of the iconic characters. The displays also acquaint visitors with how the activists drafted their plans against the cruel political forces. A key attraction is the 1980s' safari wagon which smuggled arms into the country. Declared as a heritage site, the museum is one of the must-visit places in Johannesburg.

Soweto Towers

Experience an adrenaline rush at Soweto’s Orlando Towers. Housed in an old power station with graffiti on the external walls, the facility offers vertical adventures like Bungee Jump, Rock Climbing, and the popular SCAD diving. With no ties or rope, fall backward into oblivion and land in a special net in SCAD freefall diving. A favorite among adrenaline junkies, the facility ensure safety in all the activities offered.
