Gauteng

Gauteng might be South Africa’s smallest province, but it’s where everything happens. This is the home of Johannesburg and Pretoria, where towering skyscrapers share space with history-making spots like Constitution Hill and the Apartheid Museum. You’ll find buzzing neighbourhoods, from Maboneng’s street art and rooftop bars to Sandton’s financial district. Gauteng also dives deep into human history – this is where the Cradle of Humankind sits, packed with fossils tracing back millions of years. Plus, nature isn’t far; the Magaliesberg mountains offer hiking just outside the city. Gauteng is urban grit and ancient history, all in a region that’s constantly pushing forward.
