From city life to adventure, wildlife to culture, breathtaking scenery to sun-soaked coasts - South Africa is more than what the news shows you.

We are a country that prides ourselves on our cultural diversity, having 11 official languages and having over 56,72 million people from all corners of Africa and the world. Despite the issues we have as a country, we also have a rich and diverse history and heritage sites that are worth seeing. 

Some that are not even listed on most tourism offerings. Apartheid created an interesting dynamic in the country, as devastating as it was, we have seen a lot of art, music and architecture centred around the overthrowing of the Apartheid government and the reconciliation and correction of all the social wrongs that people suffered during that time. We have seen the emergence of places like the Windybrow Arts Centre, from being a mansion that housed Theodore Reunert, founder of the engineering firm of Reunert & Lenz, designed by Willem Leck in pseudo-Tudor style architecture to a theatre that saw many of South Africa’s greatest thespians playing out their stories on stage to now being a centre of the arts and home to Honest Travel Experience. Yeoville, a suburb first marketed to Europeans and sold to them as a form of “protected area” from the dusty mining that was emerging in Johannesburg which soon saw it becoming a big Jewish community to where it is now, housing the biggest community of South Africa’s foreign nationals from all over Africa. Areas such as Braamfontein, Melville, Maboneng and Sandton become the party hubs and scenery to our nightlife, contemporary art, urban and historical culture and lifestyle. 

South Africa has more than just the “usual” tourist attractions and we at Honest Travel Experience are here to show you the authentic and “honest” side of this beautiful country!
