Joburg is really beautiful.

[@DaveMani]

Agreed! :)

[@nickb.6726]

But dangerous no?

[@monarchtwins]

Very dangie I live here not very beautiful.............

[@ColleenVersfeld]

I live in Johannesburg South Africa, I would say Cape Town is much better, Johannesburg is not safe at all ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

[@rose6713]

​@@ColleenVersfeldCape Town has higher crime stats than Johannesburg though.

[@bradcauthon7244]

Gold Reef City is awesome, but I would recommend going in winter, as during the warmer months, dozens and dozens of school busses arrive and so you will be waiting in queues for 30-60 minutes a ride. During winter, you can go on a ride, walk around and get right back on again. There are only 2 water rides, so you won't be missing anything, and most of the days are pretty warm anyway. In the evening, you can catch the shuttle to the casino across the road.

[@DaveMani]

This is well noted Brad! Thanks for the tips man. 👍🏼

[@gertywilson1514]

Joburg looks amazing and very developed wish you guys were there longer to show us more…thanks for sharing 💕

We will be back! I need to go to that theme park loll.

[@sykewtf9820]

nice vid guys looking forward to the next one! Melrose Arch is one of many developments in Joburg next time yall visit go to Waterfall City,the amount of wealth in Johannesburg is insane if it were a country it would be the 4th largest economy in Africa after Nigeria,Egypt and South Africa.

Johannesburg is stunning, the South African landscape is on another level. Random challenge, next time you're in a foreign city, please try a unique pizza ☺☺☺.

[@DaveMani]

Challenge accepted haha. What does make a pizza "unique" tho? 😅

[@Mashariki_0]

@@DaveMani ingredients focused/centered around a country's cuisine. E.g You can find chicken BBQ or pepperoni pizza almost anywhere in the world but nyama choma pizza is a Kenyan thing (maybe East African?) ☺☺

[@StAlfonzo87]

I guess a biltong or boerewors pizza would be the way to go in South Africa. Pity they stopped selling the frikkadel pizza. A masala steak pizza is also a Cape Flats staple in Cape Town.

[@briankekana6629]

Some South Africans and bashing of their own country🙄. May we learn to speak well of our land. In some countries, citizens hides all the ills and present the better parts. We cannot afford to give on our own land, more especially on the contents, by the tourists, which are focused on all things beautiful and appealing. In most crime ridden places, criminals are thriving because the community members are not working together to rid themselves of crime, through communication channels for instance. I live in an environment where we communicate with each other on daily basis on a community WhatsApp group and our kids walk around with cellphones and whatever they can handle without a fear of getting mugged. My community is surrounding by townships, but community members in our area had to find a way of working together. My biggest worry is that outsiders see good and all some of our people see is doom and gloom and they do not shy away from voicing it, even when it is unnecessary to do so. I always say that South Africa depends on where you are located, because we are all not experiencing the same things as a result. There are bad communities, yes, however as long as they are not featured on this type of content, it becomes unnecessary to bring their mayhem forward. When the content shows the bad side, then yeah, speak ill. When the content showcases development and greatness, enjoy and celebrate. Otherwise most of our people must try "Shot Left" and tour their own towns and cities. Tour, not drive to a mall or to buy or collect something, but sightseeing. Believe me you gonna enjoy it and see Mzansi differently. I do that a lot with my kids. I would sometimes, just leave a house and go for a walk around other unknown parts of our community, far from our house. Kids enjoy this a lot. This couple is in Rosebank and somebody wants to talk about Jozi CBD because that's their type of Joburg that they know and are used to. Anything nice about Joburg, they are mostly either not exposed to or they go past and never experienced it. Or maybe it is the legacy of apartheid as most would claim. Otherwise may we mostly learn to speak well about our country as well as to co tribute to safety and protection of our environments, irrespective of where we reside in this lovely country of ours. To the couple, thank very much for showing the beauty of Joburg and many other places on the continent👌. Much appreciated😍🤞. Ka👊!

I just want to let you know the enclosures at joburg zoo is actualy massive the reason why it was in a cage was probably at a vet appointment or something else maybe it was fighting with another animal idk but ive been to trhat zoo those enclosures are extremely big they make it so big so that the animal feels as if its in the wild 14:11

What a nice sneak peek at Johannesburg... wonderful! 👌 An animal zoo in SA!? We shouldn't even be having zoos anywhere in Africa. I'm glad that Kenya-the home of Safari doesn't entertain zoos.

Like I said, we don't like zoos either unless they are zoo/research/rescue centres.
