Midrand is relatively modern and has experienced a great deal of growth in the last decade. Many businesses have relocated to Midrand due to its proximity to excellent highway links and its location in the economic centre of Gauteng Province.
* Glen Austin is a lovely “green lung” between Johannesburg and Pretoria. While it has a quiet, rural feel, there’s actually quite a bit to see and do right on your doorstep (or just a short drive away).
* Glen Austin Bird Sanctuary: This is the local crown jewel. It’s a protected wetland area famous for its birdlife (nearly 200 species) and the endangered African Giant Bullfrog. It’s not a commercialised park, so it’s perfect for a quiet, authentic nature walk.
* Lory Park Animal and Owl Sanctuary: Located just next door in President Park, this “boutique zoo” is highly rated. It’s much more intimate than a major zoo, allowing you to get quite close to the animals.
* Horse Riding: Because the area has many agricultural holdings, there are several stables nearby offering outrides through the local trails.
* Nizamiye Mosque: This is an absolute must-see. It’s the largest mosque complex in the Southern Hemisphere, modelled after the 16th-century Ottoman Selimiye Mosque. Even if you aren’t religious, the architecture and the Turkish bazaar/restaurant inside are incredible.
* South African Lipizzaners: Based in nearby Kyalami, these world-famous white dancing horses perform most Sunday mornings. It’s a very unique South African heritage experience.
* Louis Dior Restaurant (Louisville Resort): A local favourite on Alsatian Road for a bit of “country luxury.” They serve great steaks and even have traditional South African options like Mogodu (tripe).
* The Fat Zebra: A popular, trendy spot nearby for excellent coffee and a solid breakfast or lunch.
* Blue Feather Fine Dining: If you’re looking for something a bit more upscale, this spot offers a lovely bistro atmosphere with a great outdoor boma area.
* Mall of Africa: Just a 10-minute drive away, this is the largest single-phase mall in Africa. If you need serious retail therapy or a massive variety of restaurants, this is the place.
* Gallagher Convention Centre: One of the country’s biggest event venues; check their calendar as they often host massive expos and trade shows.
