Area Info

Johannesburg, a sprawling metropolis pulsating with the promise of adventure, serves as the vibrant launchpad for countless South African odysseys. Millions of eager travellers begin their exploration here, setting off on thrilling safaris into the untamed bushveld, indulging in extravagant shopping sprees through bustling malls, or anticipating the sun-kissed shores of idyllic beaches. Within this energetic hub, the sophisticated district of Sandton emerges as a beacon of luxury, boasting an impressive collection of glamorous hotels that cater to discerning visitors.

At the heart of Sandton, within the expansive embrace of a colossal shopping mall, stands a commanding tribute to a global icon: the six-metre-high statue of Nelson Mandela. Crafted with meticulous detail by Kobus Hattingh and Jacob Maponyane, even the bronze statesman's shoes stretch to an astonishing metre in length. This powerful monument is a focal point, gracefully encircled by the inviting ambiance of diverse restaurants, the hushed reverence of a public library, and the dramatic allure of a theatre. The surrounding area hums with the activity of over 10,000 thriving businesses, a testament to Sandton's economic vitality.

Sandton's origins trace back to the dawn of the century, envisioned as an exclusive suburb for gentlemen, where properties spanned no less than a generous morgen, just under a hectare. While the fundamental desire for an exclusive lifestyle may persist, the landscape has undergone a radical metamorphosis. The tranquil farms and the leisurely existence once enjoyed by the white upper class have yielded to a dynamic panorama of sleek glass and chrome edifices. This modern landscape now also embraces South Africa's burgeoning Black middle class, the "empowerment kugels", who, as author Sarah Britten observes, now favour the chic eateries of Sandton over the traditional locales of Soweto for their midday gatherings.

An exploration of its diverse attractions and activities beckons. Known as 'Africa's richest square mile', Sandton has ascended skyward with an impressive array of Manhattan-style skyscrapers that punctuate the Johannesburg skyline, none more iconic than the distinctive pyramid-style rooftop of Sandton City. Visitors can immerse themselves in the vibrant atmosphere of Nelson Mandela Square, delve into the collections of various art galleries, or embark on a self-guided walking tour that unveils 29 significant Sandton landmarks, with delightful pauses at its numerous restaurants.
