Почему в ЮАР? ⠀ У меня есть сложности с путешествиями, потому что не очень умею отдыхать. Европа для меня одинаковая, Азию почти всю объехал, а Южная Америка довольно далеко. ⠀ Наткнулся однажды на то, что @fteussh, между службой где-то в Конго, поехала в ЮАР. Смотрел на сторис и чет скучно-скучно, а потом как увидел у неё ресторан @carnivore.restaurant, где можно есть мяса сколько влезет и подают крокодила, зебру, кучу видов антилоп, страуса и еще много разного. Прямо подносят тебе каждые 30 секунд огромный новый шампур и нарезают, пока не скажешь стоп 🙂 ⠀ Меня это так захватило, что случайно наткнувшись на следующий день на прямые билеты в ЮАР, еще и на дримлайнере, я их взял на время отпуска @alicenotcake (всего 320 баксов на нос за return) 🤷🏻‍♂️ да, прямо с самолета мы поехали в этот ресторан. 😂 На самом деле, не могу сказать, что это сильно спонтанное решение – ЮАР я интересовался давно, все же в Йоханесбурге 2 очень клевых заброса, один из которых сейчас уже не заброс. Да и белые гетто – вот прямо вау.) Ну и да, в стране все знают английский, это же великолепно! ⠀ На фото – заброшенные градирни электростанции в Soweto, районе, предназначенном для принудительного проживания местного африканского населения. Именно с этого района началось восстание против апартеида, а мы приехали сюда прыгнуть с этих градирен. На одном из видео я падаю) ⠀ Кстати, в сторис уже есть отдельный раздел с South Africa 😉 #notcake_southafrica #notcake_urbex #notcake_drone

Amazing Views

Not all visitors to Soweto Towers are looking for an adrenaline rush—many simply come here to admire the view. The western tower features a lift taking you straight to the viewing platform, where you can enjoy a 360-degree view of the Soweto township.

Johannesburg isn’t the first place that people think of when someone mentions thrilling amusement parks—but maybe it should be. Gold Reef City is one of the most underrated theme parks in the world and comes with an interesting backstory.

Gold Reef City opened its doors in the early 70s after an old gold mine located underneath closed its doors. As its name suggests, the entire park is themed around the gold rush which kicked off in 1886, and it was designed to mimic that same time period.

If you’re in the mood to learn more about the history of the gold rush in South Africa, there’s a museum on the premises, but it’s not Gold Reef City’s main attraction. This amusement park is home to some of the most thrilling rides that can’t be found anywhere else in the world.

Gold Reef City is a popular family-friendly destination, but some of its rides are a great fit for adrenaline-seekers who enjoy wild twists and turns. There are also a lavish casino and a Victorian train station themed theater on the premises.

This unusual bookstore is a true paradise for book lovers – its every corner is crammed with second-hand books, and some visitors spend hours scanning through its towering floor-to-ceiling shelves and looking for rare finds that are out of reach everywhere else.

Books aren’t the only thing you’ll find at Collectors Treasury. This Johannesburg bookstore also houses a wide range of maps, prints, engravings, newspapers, photographs, small antiques, and collectibles. It’s also home to an impressive collection of over 300,000 vinyl records.

South Africa is full of exciting destinations including Cape Town, safari parks, and some great nature. But while Johannesburg is known as a starting point for long trips or as the gateway to the famous Kruger National Park, it’s also a bustling city with lots of things to do so make sure to spend a few days here before you start your adventure!

Gold Reef City

Gold Reef City is a unique experience because the complex is a 24-hour casino inside an amusement park. To top it all off, it was built on top of an old gold mine, which was the reason people came to settle Johannesburg back in 1886 in the first place. With great rides and gambling, along with traditional African and historical experiences, Gold Reef City has something for everyone.

Artifacts, footage, and loads of information will take you through all the events of 20th century South Africa.

Do you enjoy shopping while on the road, but aren’t a huge fan of busy malls and crowded local markets? Johannesburg has just a place for you – urban district 44 Stanley Avenue, that’s perfect for fans of retro stores, cafés, and restaurants.

44 Stanley was born when a former 1930s industrial complex ended up being transformed into Johannesburg’s no. 1 boutique shopping destination. Even if you don’t intend to buy anything at all, you should pay a visit to this spot since it’s unlike anything else you’ll get to see in this South African city.

44 Stanley was created with one goal in mind – fusing downtown urbanism with subtle sophistication. It’s a perfect place for everyone who wants to escape the bustle of the city and enjoy a unique retro oasis during their time in Johannesburg.

After closing its doors in 1998, Johannesburg’s Orlando Power Station, commonly known by the name Soweto Towers, went on to become a major tourist attraction. It’s extremely popular with adventurous travelers because you can enjoy many thrilling activities during your visit.

Bungee Jumping

Soweto Towers are best known as Johannesburg’s no. 1 spot for bungee jumping. In addition to offering 100 meter jumps from a suspension bridge, you can also do straightjacket bungee jumps from them without the use of your arms.

Freefall

Soweto Towers also offers SCAD freefalls inside the western tower. If you have experience skydiving and over 100 free falls under your belt, you can also sign up for base jumping.

Почему в ЮАР? ⠀ У меня есть сложности с путешествиями, потому что не очень умею отдыхать. Европа для меня одинаковая, Азию почти всю объехал, а Южная Америка довольно далеко. ⠀ Наткнулся однажды на то, что @fteussh, между службой где-то в Конго, поехала в ЮАР. Смотрел на сторис и чет скучно-скучно, а потом как увидел у неё ресторан @carnivore.restaurant, где можно есть мяса сколько влезет и подают крокодила, зебру, кучу видов антилоп, страуса и еще много разного. Прямо подносят тебе каждые 30 секунд огромный новый шампур и нарезают, пока не скажешь стоп 🙂 ⠀ Меня это так захватило, что случайно наткнувшись на следующий день на прямые билеты в ЮАР, еще и на дримлайнере, я их взял на время отпуска @alicenotcake (всего 320 баксов на нос за return) 🤷🏻‍♂️ да, прямо с самолета мы поехали в этот ресторан. 😂 На самом деле, не могу сказать, что это сильно спонтанное решение – ЮАР я интересовался давно, все же в Йоханесбурге 2 очень клевых заброса, один из которых сейчас уже не заброс. Да и белые гетто – вот прямо вау.) Ну и да, в стране все знают английский, это же великолепно! ⠀ На фото – заброшенные градирни электростанции в Soweto, районе, предназначенном для принудительного проживания местного африканского населения. Именно с этого района началось восстание против апартеида, а мы приехали сюда прыгнуть с этих градирен. На одном из видео я падаю) ⠀ Кстати, в сторис уже есть отдельный раздел с South Africa 😉 #notcake_southafrica #notcake_urbex #notcake_drone

Amazing Views

Not all visitors to Soweto Towers are looking for an adrenaline rush—many simply come here to admire the view. The western tower features a lift taking you straight to the viewing platform, where you can enjoy a 360-degree view of the Soweto township.

Johannesburg isn’t the first place that people think of when someone mentions thrilling amusement parks—but maybe it should be. Gold Reef City is one of the most underrated theme parks in the world and comes with an interesting backstory.

Gold Reef City opened its doors in the early 70s after an old gold mine located underneath closed its doors. As its name suggests, the entire park is themed around the gold rush which kicked off in 1886, and it was designed to mimic that same time period.

If you’re in the mood to learn more about the history of the gold rush in South Africa, there’s a museum on the premises, but it’s not Gold Reef City’s main attraction. This amusement park is home to some of the most thrilling rides that can’t be found anywhere else in the world.

Gold Reef City is a popular family-friendly destination, but some of its rides are a great fit for adrenaline-seekers who enjoy wild twists and turns. There are also a lavish casino and a Victorian train station themed theater on the premises.

If you enjoy visiting beautiful bookstores and libraries in every new place you visit, you’ll feel right at home in Johannesburg. This South African city is home to the largest used book stock in the entire Southern Hemisphere – the Collectors Treasury.

Housed in an eight-story building of Johannesburg’s Central Business District, Collectors Treasury has been around since 1974. With over millions used and rare books in stock, it prides itself on being the largest establishment of its kind on the African continent.

This unusual bookstore is a true paradise for book lovers – its every corner is crammed with second-hand books, and some visitors spend hours scanning through its towering floor-to-ceiling shelves and looking for rare finds that are out of reach everywhere else.

Books aren’t the only thing you’ll find at Collectors Treasury. This Johannesburg bookstore also houses a wide range of maps, prints, engravings, newspapers, photographs, small antiques, and collectibles. It’s also home to an impressive collection of over 300,000 vinyl records.

South Africa is full of exciting destinations including Cape Town, safari parks, and some great nature. But while Johannesburg is known as a starting point for long trips or as the gateway to the famous Kruger National Park, it’s also a bustling city with lots of things to do so make sure to spend a few days here before you start your adventure!

Gold Reef City

Gold Reef City is a unique experience because the complex is a 24-hour casino inside an amusement park. To top it all off, it was built on top of an old gold mine, which was the reason people came to settle Johannesburg back in 1886 in the first place. With great rides and gambling, along with traditional African and historical experiences, Gold Reef City has something for everyone.

Apartheid Museum

You can’t talk about South Africa without its apartheid past, and this museum is an incredible place to learn about it. Located right across the street from Gold Reef City, you can do both in one day, or stay at the hotel and come back the next day. Artifacts, footage, and loads of information will take you through all the events of 20th century South Africa.

Neighbourgoods Market

A great place to spend your Saturday, this new food market has some of the freshest food in town. Local farmers and butchers have shops here and you can try different traditional foods or have a drink on the beautiful upper terrace overlooking the city.

Do you enjoy shopping while on the road, but aren’t a huge fan of busy malls and crowded local markets? Johannesburg has just a place for you – urban district 44 Stanley Avenue, that’s perfect for fans of retro stores, cafés, and restaurants.
