The experience

See Johannesburg being remade in public

Maboneng adds present-day creative life to a Johannesburg program otherwise centered on the city's political past.

The walk names both the work on the walls and the tensions around who benefits when an inner-city district changes.

Plan with Alex

Plan Johannesburg beyond the landmarks

Travel from Johannesburg into wildlife country, follow the warm coast toward the Cape, or let spring flowers lead you north into the Kalahari.

We begin with the part of South Africa you most want to feel, then give the country enough time to change around you.

Portrait of Alex

I want you to follow leopard tracks at dawn, swim in the warm Indian Ocean, meet artists and historians in the cities, then watch the last light turn the Kalahari dunes red. South Africa can hold all of this in one journey.
