💛 Journey Through the City of Gold!
📅 28 December | ⏰ 09:00
Join the TimeTraveller on an epic walking adventure through the historic heart of old-town Johannesburg! 👣✨
Step back in time as we wander through Ferreirasdorp and Marshalltown, uncovering the myths, legends, and stories that shaped the City of Gold. From the first gold discovery to the rise of a bustling metropolis — this is Joburg like you’ve never seen it before.
🏛️ Tour Highlights
💎 Discover the story of the three men named George — and who really found the gold that started it all!
🕊️ Explore Gandhi Square, a shining example of urban regeneration, and hear about Mahatma Gandhi’s time in South Africa.
⚙️ Walk down historic Main Street and see vintage mining equipment — including a stamp battery that was buried in a mine dump for 23 years!
🏗️ Visit the Anglo-American Campus (now the Mahishiri Institute) — admire its architecture and learn how the early mining magnates from Kimberley built an empire.
📍 End at Randjieslaagte Beacon, the exact spot where Johannesburg was founded in 1886.
💭 Along the way, we’ll answer Joburg’s quirkiest questions:

How does soda water link to the Vaal Dam? 💧
Where is Frenchfontein?
