TOUR LOCATION

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Riveting/ fascinating facts about the area:

Within one century, Johannesburg has been transformed from a tented camp, a tin shanty town, four-storey Edwardian brick buildings and now, a city of modern skyscrapers
It is home to 40% of the planet’s human fossils, making it one of the richest archaeological sites in the world
The Chris Hani-Baragwanath Hospital in Johannesburg has the ability to serve up to 3.5 million people
Johannesburg is home to 10 million trees, which helps the city cope with greenhouse effects and also lowers the noise levels within the city

Interesting people:

Meet Rasty, a graffiti and tattoo artist from Johannesburg. He was first introduced to graffiti in 1999 through the Hip Hop culture, at a nightclub in downtown Johannesburg, where he saw South African graffiti legends Gogga, Mak1one and Falko paint spectacular murals on the walls. That’s the day graffiti as an art form presented infinite possibilities to this young artist and there’s been no looking back since. His bold use of color as well as the intense detailing of the street art he creates sets him apart from the other artists in the city.
