Tourist Attractions
After the hunt some clients would like to visit the popular tourist attractions of their choice. To get to the majority of these will be far too time consuming for a client who primarily came here to hunt. That is why we ask him what his and his wife's main lines of interest are. We then forward them with information such as electronic brochures, web sites and personal recommendations. If we had not personally visited the specific attraction, we endeavor to do so in order to ensure that the client's expectations are met on the day.

Here are some examples of popular spots to visit in the proximity of Johannesburg:
|
Sterkfontein Caves, "Cradle of Humankind" – a world heritage site | |
|
MuseumAfrica | |
|
African Cultural Villages – different tribal eating habits, dress, dances | |
|
Botanical Gardens | |
|
Joburg Art Gallery | |
|
Soweto and Nelson Mandela's house | |
|
Suikerbosrand Nature Reserve | |
|
Rhino and Lion Park | |
|
De Wildt Cheetah / wild dog / hyena research station | |
|
Crocodile River Crafts and Bruma Flea Market | |
|
Apartheid Museum – political history of South Africa | |
|
Gold Reef City Museum Town and play park | |
|
Voortrekker Monument and Union Buildings in Pretoria |
Time permitting, a visit to Cape Town and the Garden Route up the east coast can be worth those few extra days, but usually that calls for a second visit.
I am certified as "National Specialist Tour Guide". This qualifies me to accompany my hunting clients personally on tours, rather than to send them off on a public tour bus with strangers.
In the "Photo Gallery" section of this site is a page called "Social & Touring" where some pictures depict tourist spots visited by previous clients of Custom Safaris.
