| From Jan Smuts to O.R. Tambo -The history of Johannesburg International | The O.R. Tambo International Airport of today is a far cry from the airport it was in 1952. Then it was named Jan Smuts Airport after South Africa’s Prime Minister Jan Christiaan Smuts. In the 70s it was used as a test airport for Concorde, to see how the plane would handle take-off and landing at high altitude. The 80s were an unstable time in South Africa’s history and airlines stopped flying here after UN-placed sanctions. When the ANC took over control of the country, it adopted a policy of not naming airports after politicians and so the name was changed simply to Johannesburg Airport. In 1996 it overtook Cairo as the continent’s busiest airport and it was the first African airport to host the Airbus A380. The ANC rescinded their renaming policy in 2006, and so, on 27th October it... | 2012-02-10 10:23 | |||
| Eco-tourism in South Africa | Eco-tourism should essentially protect natural areas and empower local people, while giving visitors a unique experience that has a low impact on the environment. “Responsible tourism” or “sustainable tourism” would be choosing a walking safari rather than driving in your rented car but it’s only eco-tourism if it benefits the people who live there and improves their lives, and raises awareness to help sustain the wildlife in the area. This symbiotic relationship between indigenous communities, conservation effort and green travel is the basic crux of eco-tourism. A tourism experience in South Africa is intrinsically tied to a nature experience because the country has such a rich and diverse wildlife. This is a huge drawing card for international tourists. Eco-tourism is about bringing... | 2012-02-10 09:21 | |||

| What sort of car should you be renting? | No one wants to feel ripped off by a car hire company, so make sure you know exactly what needs you have and what you require from the rental company. Get organised. Most car rental companies will list the number of average sized bags that will fit into a car, so get packing and count those bags. If you have an avid golfer or kite surfer in your midst then take into account that these bags are bigger than average. It’s very annoying when luggage just won’t fit into your car, and it makes people exceptionally grumpy to sit hunched up for hours sharing elbow room with a suitcase. Look to a large sedan or an SUV to fit in everybody and their luggage. Size is important. Generally, the bigger the car, the more fuel it will guzzle but it will be more comfortable for your entire family. If you’... | 2012-02-09 12:40 | |||

| Three reasons why renting a car is better than flying | Everyone has at some stage paid for a flight, only to have a problem spring up and no recourse to change the flight, or it’s changed but at a price. This is where car rental from the O.R. Tambo International Airport is an excellent option; it allows you what airlines don’t: flexibility. You can plan your route to take in quirky little towns that airlines in South Africa wouldn’t dream of flying to.

| Getting around Joburg | Big, busy, bustling Johannesburg – this economic powerhouse of South Africa is so huge that knowing how to get around is vital for both residents and visitors.

| Johannesburg – more tourist friendly than you’d think | If you’re expecting to see wanton violence and guns being waved about as soon as you step off the plane, then you’re going to be disappointed.
