1. Maropeng - This is also known as the Cradle of Human Kind where the oldest human remains have been found. There is a great museum, cave tour and good restaurants.
2. If you want animals, the eastern Transvaal (Kruger park and surrounding) is best but in Jo'burg there is Lion Park (great on a Sunday at lunch time where you can watch the lions feed), the National Zoo in Pretoria is brilliant and Jo'burg Zoo is also brilliant (lots of work in the last few years).
3. Right next to the Jhb Zoo is the Military Museum - interesting history on South African military machines. Remembering that during apartheid SA was forced to develop it's own arms and came up with many technologies used all over the world and unique technologies (like the Rooivalk the only helicopter to fly upsides down).
4. Museum Africa is maybe the best Museum in the country and has many great interactive displays. Covers a lot of topics on Southern African history.
5. If you go to Museum Africa, then near by is SAB World Of Beer - which is a great place to go for an entertaining lunch and beer sampling.
6. Jo'burg - or as it is known Egoli (which means City of Gold), was founded on gold and gold is key to South Africa's success so the Gold Reef City which is a mining themed amusement park, full of great rides and shows. It has a working mine on site and you can take the mine tour and see how gold is made. Even a chance to win a gold bar - love to see how that goes through customs ;)
7. Next to Gold Reef City is the Apartheid Museum explorers the dark past which has shaped so much of modern South Africa.
8. Lastly Monte Casino was voted the best place to take out-of-towner's for a good time. Usual casino with great food, party venues, movies etc...
