Botanical Gardens & Emmarentia Dam

Get away from the bustling city and take a relaxing walk in the lush, tranquil environment of the Johannesburg Botanical Gardens. Enjoy different areas in the gardens or feed the ducks by the Emmarentia Dam nearby. Located north of the city centre.

Do & See

The city built on gold has seen its yellow mine dumps recycled, and replaced by towering skyscrapers and glitzy shopping malls. The history of the not too distant apartheid history is remembered in superb new museums.
