Hotels in Gauteng, South Africa

Gauteng, South Africa's inland province, has a high-altitude climate with summer (October-March) averages of 77°F/25°C and rainfall, making it the best time to explore the Cradle of Humankind's limestone caves, and winter (June-August) with dry 60°F/16°C days for walking tours of Soweto's historic Vilakazi Street. Famous for the Witwatersrand gold rush and the end of apartheid, you can pan for gold at Gold Reef City or visit the Constitutional Hill prison site. For a different vibe, Pretoria's Union Buildings offer panoramic views and jacaranda blooms in October.
