Armed conflict has had a big impact on the world we inhabit today. Study the military memorabilia at South African Museum of Military History to see how battles were fought, won and lost.

This exhibition of military memorabilia is often on the itineraries of visitors to Johannesburg. But South African Museum of Military History isn't the only drawcard in the area. Gold Reef City Casino, Sandton City Mall, and Johannesburg Zoo are some other worthwhile sights nearby.

Formerly the Sheraton. Staff were great. The property was dated. Someone jumped into the elevator who was not a hotel guest and propositioned me. Luckily he got off before I reached my room floor, but it was unsettling.

9/10 Wonderful! (465 reviews)

Excellent service from all staff. The resort was incredibly clean and well maintained. The staff were so friendly and helpful. The safari guides had a wealth of knowledge about the park and wildlife. They could answer every question with confidence and engaged our children in q and a. We really can't speak highly enough of the whole experience. On safari, we saw so many animals including lions, cheetahs, leopards, elephants, black and white rhinos, giraffes and so much more! Highly recommend.
