The Joburg Tourism team is thrilled that destination Johannesburg has made TripAdvisor’s top ten list in the Travelers’ Choice Awards for Best Destinations in Africa.
“The latest TripAdvisor accolade is testament to Joburg’s enduring appeal as an all year round destination for business, leisure, lifestyle, heritage, site-seeing, the arts, entertainment, shopping and so much more!,” says Laura Vercueil [PR & Communication Manager at Joburg Tourism].
“It’s wonderful for our vibrant, diverse and exciting city to be listed alongside some of the continent’s most iconic destinations including Marrakech (Morocco), Zanzibar Island (Zanzibar Archipelago), Cape Town Central (South Africa), Fes (Morocco), Essaouira (Morocco), Nairobi (Kenya), Grande Baie (Mauritius), Arusha (Tanzania) and Victoria Falls (Zimbabwe).
According to the organisation, “Travelers' Choice awards are the highest honor TripAdvisor can bestow. Based on millions of reviews and opinions from travelers around the world, these annual awards reflect "the best of the best" for service, quality, and customer satisfaction, from hotels and accommodations to destinations, attractions, and even brands and products.”
Joburg’s 2018 TripAdvisor citation reads as follows: “Johannesburg is the place to go to mix big-city culture, shopping, dining and nightlife with outdoor adventures, up-close wildlife encounters and visits to historical sites. Explore caves and nature reserves, or visit a traditional village by day, then enjoy dinner at a hip café or five-star restaurant. And if you’re a shopper, bring an extra, empty suitcase. With malls, open air markets and places that blend the two, you’ll find plenty of unique souvenirs.”
