Johannesburg, South Africa is a sprawling modern city that is representative of modern Africa, but still retains its African culture and character of the old Africa. Maybe you have heard horror stories about Johannesburg, or Jo'burg, as it's called, but the city offers travelers an important insight into what the future of Africa holds for all its peoples. Johannesburg may bring to mind Los Angeles, with its exclusive suburbs, ghettos, and ribbons of freeways.
Jo'burg has a reputation for crime, but is probably no more dangerous than any other big city. Visitors are advised not to wear jewelry when going out, and to keep all cell phones and other personal items out of sight when in public. If driving, always keep your doors locked and windows rolled up, and all personal items out of view. A little common sense goes a long way.
Accommodations in Johannesburg, South Africa run the gamut from flop houses to villas. You can stay at a bed and breakfast in the suburbs that has satellite television, M-net, a kitchen, and more for around $60 U.S. a night. That's pretty reasonable for a nice room. Of course, you can get rooms with full kitchens, as well.
