Ekurhuleni supports a unique and fertile wetland area where local flora and fauna thrive and a kaleidoscopic variety of birds can be ‘twitched’. Boasting no less than five bodies of water, Benoni is fondly known as Ekurhuleni’s City of Lakes and also lies next to Blesbokspruit, one of the world’s seven proclaimed wetlands.

Carnival City

South Africa’s Aerotropolis and home to the O.R. Tambo International Airport – Africa’s biggest and busiest airport and the manufacturing heartland of the continent. Ekurhuleni meaning ‘the place of peace’ in Xitsonga also hosts diverse visitor attractions with a rich and fascinating heritage evident. Like historical Modderfontein, with its museums, nearby nature reserve, pretty streets and languid pace, is a wonderful place to siphon off a few hours in the area’s restaurants to Tshwane/ to Tshwane/ Pretoria and cafes.
