We also had one and a half day left in Joburg and stayed at the Holiday
Inn at the airport. We did a guided tour to Johannesburg and Soweto. We
were picked up at the hotel and the tour was very interesting and our
guide (Edgar) was very good and entertaining. On the last day we visited
lion park on our own (rented car). You see a lot of lions but you have
to realise that it is more like a zoo and not wildlife like in Kruger
Park.
