While I was waiting in the lobby at the hotel I met a guy who worked as a ticketing manager in a travel firm. He informed me that there were several airlines that offered reasonably priced or cheap business class flights to Johannesburg and if your are comfortable with your traveling dates then you can even get handsome discounts over business class air tickets as well as on other air plane tickets. After spending a quality time with the travel chap I went to my hotel room to have a sound sleep.
The next morning I prepared myself to explore the most hip-hop city of South Africa. My business class ticket came with a brochure that contained a lot of information about the city’s local attractions. I started my day by visiting the Apartheid Museum, where I had a glance at many pictures and videos that said a lot about the South African past. Johannesburg Art Gallery and South African National Museum of Military History were the other two places where I paid my visit and learnt a lot about the history of Johannesburg.
While I was returning to my hotel in a cab, the cab driver offered me a two-day trip around the city at very low fare. He also told me that he knew few local travel agents who could have arranged inexpensive flight tickets or rather cheap domestic flights for the nearby connecting cities if I wished to stay for a little longer. I was quite happy to get the discount but as I could not afford to stay long I felt bad too. The next day my cab driver came on time and we both were prepared to further explore the city.
We went to see the botanical gardens, which presented unique plant species. Walter Sisulu Botanical Gardens formed one of the last green areas remaining within Johannesburg. Lots of birds, including the endangered Black Eagle were other attractions of the park. I even saw the picture of the same black eagle at the airport where my business flight made its landing. There were several other parks, which I could have seen but was quite tired and thus asked my cab to drop me back to the hotel.
My return business class flight was in the afternoon and thus I could pay visit to the other parks that were left behind. Montecasino Bird Gardens, which possessed many birds and other small wildlife, was indeed refreshing. Since the time came to leave the wonderful city that is known to world as a powerful economic centre also I checked out from the hotel and left for the airport. I called up my travel company Fare Buzz, the America’s leading Travel Company to ask the confirmation about the flight ticket for cheap rates to my home land.
