Its ultra-modern infrastructure in stark contrast with a rich history, dating back more than 50 000 years, today's Ekurhuleni, (means "Place of Peace") is indeed a 'melting pot' of the new South Africa. Perfectly situated in Gauteng, in the centre of South Africa's most propserous economic Province, Ekurhuleni is a focal point of South Africn tourism and industry. A place where it is not uncommon to find an idyllic farm situated next to a frenetic factory, Ekurhuleni offers the visitor a glimpse of life in South Africa, in all its forms.

Boating the African continent's most modern, international airport, and one of "the gateways to Africa, and all that lies beyond", Ekurhuleni is the perfect link to the rest of South Africa's splendour as well as and ideal point of depature for other African countries, such as Botswana, Mozambique, Namibia, Zimbabwe and Kenya. A little further flung but not less accessible lies Asia, Australia and South America.

Planes and airports aside, Ekurhuleni's people present a homogenous and cosmopolitan blend of all cultures. It is a place where nature is nurtured and protected to provide our foreign guests dramatic examples of South Africa's fauna and flora.
