Johannesburg or 'Joburg' as it is commonly known is an extraordinary city, born just over 120 years ago with the discovery of gold, since then it has been developing and is now the second largest City in South Africa, it attracts thousands of toursits each year. 

Joburg is lucky to have one of the world’s most pleasant climates, what is called a subtropical highland climate. The city enjoys a dry, sunny climate, with the exception of short late afternoon downpours in the summer months of October to April, often accompanied by magnificent electric storms.

Temperatures are fairly mild due to the city's high altitude, with the average maximum daytime temperature in January of 26 °C (79 °F), dropping to an average winter maximum of 16 °C (61 °F) in June. Winter is the sunniest time of the year, with mild days but chilly nights.
