Please note that Expert Africa doesn't offer holidays to the whole of South Africa – we focus only on the Cape!

However, as the main flight hub of southern Africa, we often have to use Johannesburg for a nights' stopover en route to other destinations, including Cape Town, Mozambique, Botswana and Namibia.

Hotels in Johannesburg

Johannesburg is probably not high on the list of destinations that travellers want to visit, but there are a few comfortable options that we can recommend, if staying in Jo'burg becomes part of your trip to southern Africa, including:

InterContinental Johannesburg O.R. Tambo Airport

The InterContinental Johannesburg stands opposite the international arrivals hall at Johannesburg International Airport. It has 138 comfortable bedrooms – ideal for an overnight stop between flights. (Read more about the InterContinental Johannesburg…)
