Johannesburg holidays

Known locally as ‘Jo-burg’ or ‘J-burg’. Johannesburg has grown to become one of the most exciting, welcoming, and diverse cities in the world. Book a trip to Johannesburg with Qatar Airways Holidays, and you can explore a holiday destination that’s as green as it is metropolitan. With over 10 million trees peppered across its streets and suburbs, it’s small wonder that Johannesburg has gained a reputation for being the ‘world’s largest man-made forest’. 

Whether you’re getting away from it all with your loved one or taking the whole family on the holiday of a lifetime, there’s plenty to see and do. Gold Reef City, themed around South Africa’s mining past is one of the country’s biggest amusement parks. Complete with rides, slides and fun for all, it's an ideal family day. For a fascinating glimpse into the past be sure to visit the Cradle of Humankind, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, that is home to the remains of the first prehistoric man ever discovered. With a wealth of exciting entertainment and attractions, your package holiday to Johannesburg is sure to delight everyone, young and old.
