The Maboneng Precinct is a connected Urban neighbourhood in downtown Johannesburg. Maboneng is fast becoming Jo'burg's most unique and innovative area, offering live / work and entertainment opportunities within a fully integrated urban environment. Completed developments include Arts on Main and Main Street Life, Revolution House and more. Maboneng is also home to flagship fashion stores and diverse eateries and entertainment spaces.
I read so many mixed comments on this area, but from my experience I would advise this to be on any visitor's "must do" list. It is one of the livelier areas where you can see a lot in a very confined, pedestrian friendly area. We went there twice, and my only regret is that in both instances many of the galleries I wanted to visit in the Arts on Main section were not open. I would have liked to have seen more art galleries, but we had more than enough to do with the shops, street vendors and the many great food and drink venues. If you eat here, definitely sit where you can watch the continuous spectacle of the street life including the ongoing hustle of street photographers and the self-appointed street parking attendants. This is also a great area to buy gifts for people back home. I highly recommend the street vendors for original t-shirts, jewelry and art, and the "I was Shot in JoBurg" shop for creative works made by young people with mostly found materials or locally inspired imagery.

Trendy coffeehouses and upscale shops dot this vibrant neighborhood.
I loved this place so much I ended up going twice in three days. It has the best vibe, there are places for dancing, sports pubs, amazing restaurants and more. I went to Cocktails and had the Oxtail stew - it was easily the best value meal I had in three weeks of travelling in South Africa

Rich with architectural heritage hearkening back to the early mining days, Parktown is one of the oldest Johannesburg suburbs.
The village of “Mapoch” is a traditional Ndebele village, with houses painted with the famous colourful geometric patterns. Mapoch village is situated 40 km West outside Pretoria, just a 90 minutes drive from Johannesburg and OR Tambo International airport. Live a unique experience in one of the only Ndebele village left in South Africa. The village inhabitants still live in a traditional manner.
