Sandton is an affluent area situated within the Johannesburg Municipality, Gauteng, South Africa. It is well known for being the richest square mile in Africa.

In 1969 Sandton was promulgated as a municipality in its own right, but lost its status as an independent town after the re-organisation of South African local governments.

6 Things I really like about Monte Casino- Our family really enjoyed the day. It is kitsch and cool and worth a visit- super fun! 1 It transports you, it is fantasy, it's an escape from politics, crime, the economy- the everyday worries that South Africans face. 2 Musical Theatre at Monte Casino- We enjoyed lunch and went on to see Chicago. Polished perfection. A wonderful showcase for our abundant local talent and the excitement of seeing a musical theatre star from abroad added to the experience. 3 There is something for everyone. You do not have to be a gambler to be entertained. 4 Immaculate- it is really sparkling clean. The public restrooms are pristine despite how many people go in and out of them. 5 Food- Casa Bella -questo ristorante è divino ( one must praise them in Italian even if you have to copy and paste, because you aren't)- really Bellissimo-order the pizza. 6 Cherry on top- you buy your parking ticket upon entry and it is only R10.00. That was a pleasant shock- I expected that it would be way more. Recommended for locals and visitors from abroad.

Really great short excursion for reptile-mad kids. Very well maintained by knowledgeable enthusiasts who clearly have the animals’ best interests at heart. Our son was especially keen on spending most of his time studying the black mamba and other venomous snakes - very exciting! We also got to hold various animals, zip line over the croc enclosures, and top of the day with a pretty decent pizza. Would highly recommend.
