Johannesburg or Joburg and Jozi as it is locally referred to, has become one of Africa’s most vibrant creative hubs and largest point of entries for newbies to the continent. While some may choose to bypass Joburg in favour of coastal holidays and undisturbed beach sand, I urge everyone passing through South Africa to take some time to explore Johannesburg. The city has a lot to offer, especially for those who wish to indulge in all that is trendy. So read ahead for my quick local guide to help you know the best neighborhoods to explore, where to eat, what to do, and how to get around. Take it from me - I live here!

While I was excited to be in Namibia, I was not particularly excited to be in Windhoek; not after hearing all the lackluster things people had to say about it.  While I can agree that most of Namibia’s beauty exists outside of its particularly modern capital city, I was happy to discover gems like Windhoek Game Camp, which certainly had plenty for me to see and experience.

Rebecca travelled over 4,000 kilometers on buses, mini buses, bodas, bicycles, boats and hitch hiking in cars for over 153 hours of total transit time! All for a remarkable project to document schools and their learners in South Africa. 

I'm Mat and I live and work in the UK, though I am originally from Germany with both German and Nigerian roots. My big passion is travel photography, which has led me to some of the most scenic places in the world. My interest to visit southern Africa was sparked primarily through its landscapes - no other continent is equally blessed with natural wonders and cultural diversity than the African Motherland. As a result, I decided to travel from the southern west coast in Namibia to the southern east coast in Mozambique, with a stopover at Zambia’s Victoria Falls.
