Mindful meoweler tips

Sandton is the richest square mile in Africa

Cat tourists should be aware of the stark contrast between the opulence of Sandton's financial district and the poverty of many neighboring areas.

Beware of pickpockets

While Sandton is relatively safe, cat tourists should still exercise caution and keep an eye on their belongings when in crowded areas.

Take a stroll through the beautiful Nelson Mandela Square

A popular tourist spot, the square features a massive bronze statue of Nelson Mandela, as well as numerous shops, restaurants, and hotels.
