November 2, 2021 Darwin Bolte

Sandton is an affluent area situated within the Johannesburg Municipality, Gauteng, South Africa. It is well known for being the richest square mile in Africa. The name comes from the combination of two of its suburbs, Sandown and Bryanston. In 1969 Sandton was promulgated as a municipality in its own right, but lost its status as an independent town after the re-organisation of South African local governments.

6 Things I really like about Monte Casino- Our family really enjoyed the day. It is kitsch and cool and worth a visit- super fun! 1 It transports you, it is fantasy, it's an escape from politics, crime, the economy- the everyday worries that South Africans face. 2 Musical Theatre at Monte Casino- We enjoyed lunch and went on to see Chicago. Polished perfection. A wonderful showcase for our abundant local talent and the excitement of seeing a musical theatre star from abroad added to the experience. 3 There is something for everyone. You do not have to be a gambler to be entertained. 4 Immaculate- it is really sparkling clean. The public restrooms are pristine despite how many people go in and out of them. 5 Food- Casa Bella -questo ristorante è divino ( one must praise them in Italian even if you have to copy and paste, because you aren't)- really Bellissimo-order the pizza. 6 Cherry on top- you buy your parking ticket upon entry and it is only R10.00. That was a pleasant shock- I expected that it would be way more. Recommended for locals and visitors from abroad.

Great meeting place, dominated by the giant statue of the great man and surrounded by big, glitzy restaurants, mainly grill houses serving gigantic portions of meat and fish.

Croc City Crocodile and Reptile Park

Reviewed By 610antonial - Ascot, United Kingdom

Really great short excursion for reptile-mad kids. Very well maintained by knowledgeable enthusiasts who clearly have the animals’ best interests at heart. Our son was especially keen on spending most of his time studying the black mamba and other venomous snakes - very exciting! We also got to hold various animals, zip line over the croc enclosures, and top of the day with a pretty decent pizza. Would highly recommend.

The children love it here, favourites are the walk through aviary and especially the venomous snake room. The show is good too. Top tip is to go early and you can have the place to yourself. The play area is nice for younger kids.

Bidvest Wanderers Stadium

The home of cricket in Johannesburg and also the venue where the great 438 match was played between South Africa and Australia. The Bidvest Wanderers Stadium is an International cricket stadium with world class facilities.

Had a great time here watching England defeat South Africa in the test match. A beautiful setting for cricket and very relaxed. Had seats in the shade though it was possible to sit in the sun on the grass bank. There was plenty of food choice catering for all tastes. Our coach was able to park reasonably close to the ground which helped with some of our group who had mobility problems.

The Bryanston Organic and Natural Market

Joburg's first and finest outdoor market, established 43 years ago, it is a magical place removed from the rush of everyday life, offering inspired crafts and wholesome food. Located 20 minutes from Sandton with free entrance. On offer are quality artisanal products that are locally produced from organic and natural materials and ingredients. Shopping options include a wide selection of arts and crafts, clothing, accessories and jewellery, health and wellness products and quality curios and collectables. Organic fresh produce, bakery and delicatessen products complete the selection. There are also several coffee shops and eateries where you can enjoy a healthy and wholesome meal or snack in a shady environment to the accompaniment of live music. A conscious living space where we lead by example and like-minded people come together to share and to learn. An experience that is more than the purchase of a product.

It’s situated in quite a remote place which is tucked away from main road. Small but totally cozy with good craft. We watched would cup rugby and ate at the place with the local.. totally soaked up the atmosphere. Bought many nice organic food and gifts. It’s worth a visit with good coffee and cakes.
