Johannesburg is the provincial capital of Gauteng and the wealthiest province in South Africa, having the largest economy of any metropolitan region in Sub-Saharan Africa. This city is the largest city in South Africa by population and is one of the 50 largest metropolitan areas in the world and also the world's largest city not situated on a river, lake or coastline. Also referred to as Jozi, Jo'burg, Joeys or eGoli, it claims to be the lightning capital of the world, though this title is also claimed by others.
There is much to do in Johannesburg - there are many wonderful restaurants, cocktail bars, relaxed sidewalk cafes, shopping malls, thrilling casinos, busy townships, stunning galleries, funky nightclubs and tranquil parks. The city has a multi-cultural cosmopolitan vibe and an attitude that says 'let's make money' and then 'let's party'. OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg is the gateway to most areas within South Africa including the Kruger National Park, Sun City and Madikwe to name a few. It also serves as the main point of arrival and departure for most International flights as well as the gateway to many other African countries.
