South Africa Safaris: GOLD REEF CITY TOUR

GOLD REEF CITY TOUR - HALF DAY

South Africa Safaris

Synonymous with South Africa's gold-mining industry is the name Johannesburg, the city that was founded way back in 1886 as a miner's village on the Witwatersrand goldfields. Today, the Gold Reef City theme park and museum - built around the original No.14 shaft of Crown Mines - recreates the city of Johannesburg as it was during the early days of the gold rush. The guided tour includes an underground visit 220 metres below the surface, a gold pour and tribal dancing, providing the visitor with an in-depth look at the gold mining industry in South Africa. On arrival you will meet your private guide, who will conduct your tour through the complex at your leisure.
