Johannesburg, South Africa

AFROPUNK Joburg is coming back again for a third year at the end of December, to send off 2019 with a bang.

Get ready and gear up to ride into the musical journey that Afropunk. The music festival is going to outdo itself this year with an amazing lineup of emerging talent and well-known artists.  Some of the blockbuster performances last year included Public Enemy, Thundercat, The Internet, Thandiswa, Youngsta CPT, Kaytranada, Flying Lotus, Big Freedia, Saint Jude, Faka, Azagaia, Moonchild, BCUC, and Nomisupasta.

Afropunk first launched in 2005 and usually takes place every year in Paris, London, Atlanta, Brooklyn, and Johannesburg. However, the African debut of this festival held back in 2017. The festival last witnessed around 20,000 people from all around South Africa

The focus of this event is to influence the young generation from all backgrounds to step ahead in the field of art, film, music, sports, and fashion. To buy a festival ticket, you first need to make up your mind that how many days you want to attend. Although the full week VIP passes are a bit costly, they are well worth it.

“Festivals promote diversity, they bring neighbors into dialogue, they increase creativity, they offer opportunities for civic pride, they improve our general psychological well-being. In short, they make cities better places to live.”– David Binder

Where to view Afropunk Festival 2019

The festival takes place at Constitution Hill, 11 Kotze St, Braamfontein, Johannesburg.

How to get around Johannesburg

The train system in Johannesburg is extensive and efficient. Operated by Metrorail, the trains are quite affordable when it comes to ticket cost. Traveling in a train is a great way to explore the main areas of the city. However, the train doesn’t run in certain parts of the city.

The Gautrain rapid-rail and Rea Vaya bus service is also an ideal option for traveling around the city. These are safe and fast ways to reach from one place to another. The Gautrain rapid-rail is an ideal way to commute between Rosebank, Park Station and Sandton. The Rea Vaya bus also operates a line between Soweto and Johannesburg.

If you are looking for an adventurous ride, Tuk-Tuk might be a perfect option for you to explore Johannesburg’s neighborhoods. It is much cheaper than any other transport. The fares start at $2.

Things to do in Johannesburg

Visit the famous Apartheid Museum of Johannesburg. The place is a top tourist attraction as it displays the history of South Africa. The museum was established back in 2001 and it is a non-profit gallery.

The Lion Park should be a must visit place in your bucket list. The place is located in the Gauteng province and spread over 500 acres of land. Around 80 lions live in the park. You will find some white lions (which are rare to see nowadays) and also spotted hyenas, cheetahs, antelopes and a wide range of black-backed jackal. It’s the perfect opportunity to experience the amazing wildlife of Africa.

Visit the Nelson Mandela Square, formerly known as Sandton Square. In 2004, they renamed the place to give tribute to the Former South African president. The man was known for his splendid services and is probably one of the famous revolutionists and philanthropists in the world. Take a photo next to his statue.

Make a trip out of it and travel around Africa? Spare your friends and family the hundreds of safari photos. With over 50 countries spanning a continent diverse enough to have snow-top mountains and smoldering deserts, the memories (and photos) from these 5 African adventures of a lifetime are sure to leave ‘em wanting more.

These one-of-a-kind, action-packed excursions are not for the faint of heart, from micro-flights to shark diving, these African escapades bring just as much excitement as a safari to your vacation. Pack your bags (leave the Steve Irwin hat at home) and get ready for African adventures of a lifetime.
