Gold Reef Tour
The name Johannesburg is synonymous with South Africa’s gold-mining industry, after all, this is the city that was founded way back in 1886 as a miner’s village on the Witwatersrand goldfields. Today, the Gold Reef City theme park and museum - built around the original No.14 shaft of Crown Mines - recreates the city of Johannesburg as it was during the early days of the gold rush.
On arrival you will meet your guide, who will conduct your tour through the complex. You’ll delight in the myths and magic of gold, the glimpse into the lifestyle of those early pioneers, the excitement of traveling 220 meters below the surface to see first-hand how precious gold is extracted from the earth and then watching the liquid yellow metal being poured into ingots. Enjoy the remarkable recreation of Victorian Johannesburg and the legendary characters that featured in the world’s greatest gold discovery. A stunning experience, not to be forgotten!
