Johannesburg and Cape Town have been featured on Tripadvisor’s list of the top 10 ‘traveller’s choice’ destinations in Africa!
According to the organisation, “Travelers’ Choice awards are the highest honour 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.”
And both Joburg and Cape Town have come out on top, beating out thousands of incredible destinations across the African continent.
Cape Town was featured at number 3, sitting closely behind Marrakesh and Zanzibar.
“Cape Town glistens at the southern toe of the African continent. Tourist brochure-views at Blaauwberg Beach and Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens are within easy driving distance of “The Mother City.” The Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve provides sweeping sea vistas, hiking trails and wildlife encounters. On a more somber note, travellers can visit Robben Island, the prison where Nelson Mandela was held for 27 years.”
While Joburg was featured at number 10, behind Arusha and Victoria Falls.
“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.”
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).
