We had a fun first Johannesburg experience

We thoroughly enjoyed our overnight stay. We had Great service and enjoyed staying inside a theme park. The included breakfast was delicious. We paid extra for the Jozi historical gold mine tour and were glad we did. Going down in the gold mine and later up on the large Ferris wheel were both highlights for us.
