Gauteng delivers a compact package of sports, recreation, high-end shopping, nature reserves, historic sites and cultural diversions, and from here you have access to the whole of South Africa via coach and plane or in your Avis hire car.
After clocking up some miles exploring the local sights with your Avis Hire car, the airport offers many a diversion as you await your next flight; with a large duty free outlet stocking luxury items of every description, sociable coffee shops, curio stalls, and book stores for whiling away the time.
