To really get into the thriving heart of South Africa, why not book your flight from Manchester to Johannesburg now with Globehunters?

While it often gets overlooked in favour of Cape Town and the Kruger National Park, Johannesburg really is the hidden gem of South Africa.

Johannesburg (Joburg to the locals), is a sprawling city with plenty to see and do during your visit, no matter what your tastes and interests.

One of the highlights is the Apartheid Museum, which takes a look at life in South Africa during some of its darkest times, and is well worth a visit.

If you want to get the best view in the city, be sure to visit the Carlton Centre, where you can head up to the 50th-floor observation platform and take in the spectacular panorama.

There are plenty of shops to keep you busy in South Africa too, and of course, lots of bars and cafes to chill out in afterwards.

If you’re a history buff, you might want to check out the museum at the old Constitution Hill prison, or rugby fans will want to head to Ellis Park, especially if they can catch a game!

It’s also a good idea to experience one of the townships in the city, known for their lively atmosphere, as well as the best place to grab a cheap drink and have a great night!

A little further out of the city itself you can head on safari, or go to the Cradle of Humankind at Maropeng, where you can explore the complex network of caves.

Flights from Manchester to Johannesburg generally take around 13 hours and require a stopover in another airport such as Frankfurt with Lufthansa or Zurich with Swiss Airlines.

Upon arrival at O. R. Tambo Airport, you can easily make your way to the city centre onboard the Gautrain railway network, which will take you to Sandton, the city’s main business district.
