Spend a night in South Africa’s largest and most populous city. This financial and commercial capital of the country, also called Joburg or Jozi, is a vibrant city, with leafy suburbs, a fantastic zoo, educational Constitution Hill and the nearby over-the-top Sun City. If there’s time, a visit to the moving Apartheid Museum is highly recommended.
