About Johannesburg & Airport

Johannesburg Airport is also known as OR Tambo International Airport. It is South Africa's busiest airport and is the main hub for the whole of South Africa. The airport is 14 miles east of the centre of bustling Johannesburg. It is vast, catering for over 14 million passengers per year, all beneath one roof with 6 different terminals. Terminals 1 and 2 are for international flights, terminals 3 and 4 are reserved for domestic flights, whilst 5 and 6 carry the overflow from both international and domestic.

Well staffed information desks are located in all terminals, who will assist with any South Africa travel queries. Free wi-fi in the retail section allows you to enjoy a coffee, while catching up on work or friends.

Johannesburg, Jo'burg aka Jozi, has now been rejuvenated with the troubles of apartheid left in the past. Not only is it a lot safe, it is now an exiting city with lots to offer the curious tourist. Would you consider spending a night in a Soweto B&B? Cheap accommodation and beer!

One place you must visit is the Apartheid Museum, which offers a vivid experience of how Apartheid operated during those very dark years.

"Cheaper to pre-rent your vacation vehicle through us, than booking direct."

Take a guided tour of one of the townships to ensure you see how and where the vast majority of South Africans live. Tours normally include a stop at an illegal drinking club called a shebeen and also the house of Desmond Tutu.

Night life is centred on Melville 7th street, which is teaming with bars, restaurants, cafes and clubs. If you are a meat lover, try the Local grill corner of 3rd avenue and 7th street. The veldt is just an hours drive by hire car with precious views of Magalies River Valley.

Drive a little further and you will find the Cradle of Humankind World Heritage Site, home to our ancestors of over three million years in the past.

A shuttle bus service operates to Johannesburg and surrounding areas. The timetable is available at the information desks.

"Compare lower holiday auto rates from a wide range of well-known companies."

South Africa is a major fly-drive destination. All the main companies are represented outside the arrivals hall, with rental cars located in the airport opposite the terminal building.
