Getting to Gauteng by air means flying into JNB, the primary international hub and busiest airport across the entire continent. Located about 30 to 40 minutes east of central Johannesburg, from here, you can fly to pretty much every substantial city in SA.
The smaller Lanseria International Airport (HLA) also handles domestic regional flights.
By bus, long-distance, reputable lines like Intercape or Greyhound connect Gauteng with major cities across SA, typically arriving at Johannesburg’s Park Station or Pretoria.
Elsewhere, travellers can utilise the Gautrain – this rapid rail network is the safest and most efficient way to travel between JNB, Sandton, Rosebank, Midrand, and Pretoria. Stations are secure, and you can purchase a reloadable Gold Card at any stop.
Once in Gauteng, for seeing major sights like the Apartheid Museum, Constitution Hill, and Soweto safely, the City Sightseeing open-top buses provide a secure and informative way to explore.
To get around locally, rely on ride-sharing apps like Uber or Bolt for safety and convenience. Car rentals are also available through major companies such as AVIS and Hertz.
